"One of major doubts and discussions­ about if JJ deserves or can be named as the no. 1 of­ women tennis is that she never (so far) wins any one of­ Grand Slams. But see, Kim Clijsters and Amile Mauresmo­ were also the no. 1 before they won Grand Slam.­ JJ's performance is very consistent, namely, no big­ ups and downs. For JJ, it's just the matter of time­ to win Grand Slam."

I agree. When all those who­ object acctually do something with their own lives,then­ their opinion will matter. Maybe.

why did jelena use such unsporting tactics in the semi­ final

40 ana very sad the truth is often hard to bear but it­ is all there on the video recording for all to see

llorretta, you must be a sad alcoholic yourself to­ write an imbecile comment like that, insulting both­ Jelena and her mother in one breath, pathetic.

very different situation next at Kremlin Cup ­ Moscow

VERY efficient organisation will enforce the­ correct rules on/off court``.. congratulations

very very sad jelena had to resort to blatant cheating­ in semi final with courts side illegal­ coaching
screaming abuse at her opponent by her­ followers among the spectators
comments from mother­ drunk from continual swigs from her Vodka bottle
amost­ disgraceful disgusting performance throughout-- should­ have been defaulted rapidly

Citat from Nivas86:
"you downers who can't­ appreciate hard work do something by yourselves? i bet­ you can't beat venus even in a video game the way­ jelena did here in semis. give her some respect for­ being the best player at the moment. she wasn't­ even in half form at US open than she's now and she­ yet reached finals. if it was now, she would have a­ grand slam title. the truth is she wouldn't be in­ top of tennis world if she wasn't good. you stay­ there for long if you are not good even if you get­ there. so all you lazy downers go try to do something­ productive and if you are just a one hundredth part as­ good as jelena is when she's on top of her game you­ gotta feel happy"
bravo Nivas ! This is the point­ !

One of major doubts and discussions about if JJ­ deserves or can be named as the no. 1 of women tennis­ is that she never (so far) wins any one of Grand Slams.­ But see, Kim Clijsters and Amile Mauresmo were also the­ no. 1 before they won Grand Slam. JJ's performance­ is very consistent, namely, no big ups and downs. For­ JJ, it's just the matter of time to win Grand Slam.

ALISON MERRITT ... LOL that's true. Commentator­ said Jelena's mother always drinks bit of water­ when ever Jelena wins pt, and she never took single­ drop when Jelena lose her pts. If u look closely u­ would see it's true, i find it very funny. :D

SO WELL DONE JJ ON WINNING IN STUTTGART.
NO MORE ANTICS­ PLEASE IT WASN'T NICE AGAINST VENUS WILLIAMS­ YESTERDAY.
I AM A JJ FAN BUT THINK HER MOTHER IS GIVING­ HER SIGNALS WHEN SHE DRINKS FROM HER BOTTLE WHEN JJ­ WINS GOOD POINT OR GAME.LOOK OUT FOR IT FANS
ANYWAY­ THAT SAID NO MORE DRAMA PLEASE JJ.
ALISON MERRITT.

Jankovic didn't won Moscow event. She didn't­ even play in Moscow last year so she is not defending­ single point from Moscow, she was in Bangkok at that­ time and lost in first round so she has no pts to­ defend. But showing up in Moscow she will ghet bonus 70­ pts to just start the game (because she is free in­ first round), and other players must defend their pts­ that they earned last year (like Safina semifinal and­ Williams final) if they want to catch 1st place bu the­ end of the year.

Like I said Jankovic won 3 major­ events (Rome 2 times, and Charleston)

neboy 34 thanks for your assistance
please tell us when­ she won Moscow event date/name thanks

Try doing a search on the words TENNIS and MAJORS and­ you will get plenty of hits referring to the slams as­ "the 4 majors" and none referring to ATP­ Masters or WTA Tier 1 events as such.

Loretta, you­ asked for a list of Serena's wins. This year she­ has won Bangalore (tier2), Miami (teir 1), Charleston­ (tier 1) and of course the US Open (Grand Slam).

Like I said to (comment 31) Jankovic won 3 major­ events... She never won GS

ROME for example is a MAJOR EVENT with ranking points­ accordingly

BUT it is not a GRAND SLAM event of which­ there are only 4

peruse your WTA yearbook more­ thoroughly dear

for Major tennis tournaments are count masters as well­ as grand slams,otherwise u could only say­ "Jankovic never won Grand Slam" an don't­ need to use term "major" because there is no­ need for that.
For major tournaments in tennis WTA or­ ATP there is more then 4 tournaments in year... I count­ them all before.

bobito 36 you write nonsense back to front
first GRAND­ SLAM events {4}
2nd MAJOR tier 1 events
3rd == tier 2­ events
& so on etc
each category receives less­ & less ranking points , just read your WTA year­ book again

thanks for neboy 34 info
now please give us a list ­ for fat serena too

you say Dinara Safina reached semi final last year,­ thanks for info
Well good wishes to be a finalist this­ time
All on home ground

Sorry neboyshac, but you are incorrect. In tennis the­ word "major" is always taken to mean the­ grand slams. It is never used to describe other, less­ prestigious tournaments.
