She seems to be the inform player. Justine will only be coming back from injury, amelie already seems fatigued, and Kim still an unkonwn quantity as of now. On the big stage i am willing to bet on Maria before i bet on either Petrova or ElenaD. That leaves Sveta the only real threat coz she can bring it on when she is in the mood and does not shy away from the big stage, although she has the tendency to go wild.
Maria YEC 2006 Champion!!!

Ahhhh but we all know what Justine is like when she comes back from injury ...... she'll be mentally relaxed and fit and believe me, if she doesn't feel like that she won't be back, so if she plays the YEC, you know she'll be gunning for it! :worship: :devil:

Surprisingly, I happen to think that Hingis might have a shot against her..
Who? Against Maria? :spit: oh please :rolleyes:

What with those power shots? You are kidding arn't you?

I am sorry but Maria is not going to win it...

If Momo doesn't win, which i see very difficult, cause she is going to win it, will be Kuneztsova the winner against Henin in the final....

And Amélie is not fatigued, she only has an injury from which is going to recover perfectly for the YEC!!! :)

Kuznetsova hasn't done anything indoors.. ever.. Just not her thing with that extreme western grip.

They've had close matches this year, with Hingis winning one. I think Martina's form is pretty bad now though.
As much as I hate to say it, I totally :worship: Martina's comeback! I think she's been absolutely amazing to come back on the tour after 3 years and be near the top ten ... even win a couple of tournaments. That's absolutely amazing .... but then she is Martina Hingis.

BUT, I think the reason she has had a "not so good" second half of the year is because in the first half of the year she did wonders .... but I personally think she used up a lot of her energy that she had at the beginning of the year against all these power players and it wore her out by Wimbledon and she had nothing left in the tank for the rest of the season. She played a great match against Kuzzy in Zurich, but Kuzzy played one of the best games I've seen her play ... I think if Kuzzy was playing like that against JHH, JHH might have lost!

Do you know what I mean? What do you think?

JHH hasn't ever done anything indoors too.. Too quick for her..
Oh really?

Generali Ladies Linz 2002 :confused: Was that a figment of my imagination then? Or are they lying that she won it? Strange that!

4 years ago.. Against glorious competition like Alex Stevenson in the final. That was truly her benchmark indoors. That's whom can really beat .. Who were her other opponents? Some Hall-of-famers like Farina or Panova, right?

I checked the rankings for the most probable girls to play the YEC and very carefully and thoroughly studied all the available statistics including h2h's and trends. Based on this research, I discovered that there are only seven girls playing in the YEC who are capable of ending Pova's quest for another YEC title. Whoever wins the YEC will have to win at least two of the first three matches and both of the last two matches. That's a lot of tennis to be played, starting two weeks next Monday, to determine, today, which one will win it!

As a PovaPartisan, I do hope that Pova plays well, fights hard and manages to win just five matches! But nothing said today will impact what happens during the YEC Tournament.

Do you have a fever? Some aspirin can help. But if it is mushrooms, then never mind..

That's not the point ... you said "ever" and I showed you that you were wrong! Just admit it. If you would have said "recently" then that would have been a different story wouldn't it? :rolleyes:

I wonder how fast the surface is.
Take for example Filderstadt vs Stuttgart. The old Filderstadt courts were much faster than Stuttgart.
