More Russians coming up in the next poll!

Masza K. :)

nastya

I'll go with Myskina :)

ahhh hard for me to choose

Dementieva, Petrova, Likhovtseva or Zvonareva...

Nadia! :hearts:

Dementieva

Kirilenko & Zvonareva

Nastya for sure. :)

Nastya for sure. I can think of one other russian who is closing in on her in my favorite list but she's not in this poll, maybe next one. Anyway Nastya is still my number 1 favorite.

Sveta! :kiss:

lenaD :D

sveta !!

Sharapova, although I really do like Dementieva, Kuznetsova, Myskina and Zvonareva out of those. If there was a multiple option, I would have voted for those as well.

Dementieva.

Anastasia Myskina :yeah:

Hmm, let me think, who is my favourite russian ...

Can't I give another vote to Vera though because she hasn't got any yet and I've really warmed to her this year. :sad:

ESBETA :smoke:

Sharapova

The Siberian Siren for me. No surprises on this poll!

Dementieva :D

Right now Anna Chakvetadze..........

I like all of them, but Sveta is my baby :kiss:

sveta

nastya :D:D

Dementieva :kiss:

Elena D. :)

Masza K is second :)

Elena D ! :)

Wait. Is this a trick question? ;)

Dementieva :)

Nastya :yeah:

Sveta. Honorable mentions to Nadia, Lena D., & Dinara.

Myskina of course!!!

Nadia :)

Lena D. is #1.

Nasty is #2.

The world is in balance and harmony. This is as it should be, in terms of popularity, in terms of rankings, in terms of finishes at tournaments, and everywhere except the poor, confused mind of meyerpl ;)

it's hands down elena dementieva

however, i do quite like myskina, chakvetadze, and zvonareva too

I've found the Russian players to be really lovely but Sveta would be my favourite :)

Nadia, just ahead of Vera

Lena :inlove:

maria of course:)

and by maria i mean maria sharapova;)

Maria Kirilenko

Nastya

more sveta fans please :)

Kirilenko :bowdown:

Kirilenko for sure.
Then Sharapova and Myskina.

nastya :bounce:

i like all of 'em
go figure

Maria SHARAPOVA (RUS).

MYSKINA is the BEST!

Maria Sharapova hands down..the rest are kinda lame and dry to me...their tennis isnt exciting.

No Doubt.... Miss Dementieva !!!

Peace :wavey:

Maria Sharapova by far, i also like Kirilenko and Svets and Dina

Svetlana Kuznetsova!!! :worship:

followed by Elena D then Myskina.:)

Suprise Suprise Dementieva winning yet another poll, she seems to have endless fans. Thats not knocking her.

LenaD, of course! :worship:

No one seems to be giving their reasons why, but I love LenaD because IMO she is the best mover on the women's tour, has a bodacious forehand AND she is #6 in the world despite having one of the worst serves in women's tennis. She is the "underdog" personified. She is naturally oh so beautiful. What is there not to love?

Nastya is my #2 but I don't have enough time to talk about her. haha.

kirilenko !!!

Nadia, I met her in sydney she was really nice :)

Lena D !

myskina
makiri close second
followed by chaky and lenad!

ohh and bardina is coming!! shes a fav of mine!!

well i hardly have to say do I , As the Capt of the Esteemd SS Dementieva I can hardly be a huge Kuznetsova fan or something now can I ,but Seriously ,Lena D is everyting I adore ,shes natrually gorgeous and has a great athletic body ,despite her serving I enjoy her style of game ,shes unpredictable and never boring ,can lose to anyone and beat anyone all in the same week ,she has a wonderful sexy sweet voice ,even her grunt is cute.

But above all ,shes totally non Media orientated ,she doesnt give a flying fuck for Fame ,shes not of this "big brother" me me me me generation ,despite her sucess and millions in the bank ,shes down to earth and a very sweet girl indeed ,she really is adorable and I bet a great person to know and be with...

Second for me will be Nastya ,shes drives me mad at times and gets a little cocky ,but shes truthful and exciting and off court a very nice girl indeed ,and attractive in a mysterious kinda way too ...

Voted for Sharapova but I like all the Russians except Dementieva.

Sveta :)

elenad!!

exactly!! :bounce: :bounce:

Nastya Myskina - she rocks

Elena Dementiava- I admire the grunt: 'whooopaaaah!'

She's very entertaining to watch, even when she's losing(a bit like Venus). Off-court too, she seems really nice. :)

1. Maria, naturally.
2. Elena
3. Anastasia

Kuznetsova followed by Myskina. Tough poll.

Sveta!

I'll go with Anastasia Myskina :worship: But I love Maria Sharapova as well

Dementieva is my favorite... I really hope she can win a major soon!! Her groundstrokes are second to none!

Nadia
Nastya
Vera

I'm sorry but i cant hold it in....this child is sight for sore eyes...she gets on the court and look like a straight up caveman sometimes. I mean your game is the most important thing when it comes to tennis, but DAYUM...sometimes a lil make up or something wont hurt.

Sveta is beautiful

She looks nice in that picture above.

Sveta is beautiful

Ooooooh well okay then... ;)

where is Kournikova???

She looks nice in that picture above.

well if she looks nice to yall according to that picture...then i would HATE to see what is considered ugly as hell to yall..... but oooookay she is beautiful.....

well if she looks nice to yall according to that picture...then i would HATE to see what is considered ugly as hell to yall..... but oooookay she is beautiful.....

I didn't say that I find her beautiful. I'm only saying that it's not a bad picture at all. She looks pretty there.

Sveta!! :inlove:
It's the best player, she's funny and so cute! :p :kiss:

Sharapova. :drool:

woo! dementieva!

So, what's your bets on Masha/Nastya? So far it's 51-50, but since Masha has got much more haters, probably Nastya will win in the end.

Based on :

° Passion for- and dedication to the sport,
° Workethics,
° Remarkable introspective abilities at such a young age,
° Maturity and strong will to improve her game,

:) My vote goes to Maria Sharapova.
With lots of respect and sympathy to the other Russians.

Lena always wins these polls. :p

Sveta
and she looks lovely

Maria Sharapova.

Lena always wins these polls. :p

That's because Lena is absolutely adorable.

undoubtedly masha is always at the top of the best lists,and i'm sure this time also she is most fav. russian!!
no doubt on it! :)

always Nastya!

Chakvedatze

2nd Zvonareva
3rd Sharapova

Nastya!

ElenaD easily! :) :bounce: :worship: :drool:

undoubtedly masha is always at the top of the best lists,and i'm sure this time also she is most fav. russian!!

hmmm, this poll tells something different :p

Take a look at this:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=sharapova%2C+dementieva%2C+petrova%2C+mys kina%2C+kuznetsova&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2006

The result doesn´t quite correlate with the general opinion of the WTAworld. :p

Dementieva followed by Zvonareva and Sharapova. But I voted for Demi.

I voted MK, but its a toss up with her and anastasia

Take a look at this:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=sharapova%2C+dementieva%2C+petrova%2C+mys kina%2C+kuznetsova&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2006

The result doesn´t quite correlate with the general opinion of the WTAworld. :p

That's because all true Lena D. fans have the best Lena D. sites and info bookmarked.

We don't have to resort to feeble Google searches to keep up with the latest news about our Golden Goddess. :cool:

Dementieva for sure!

Maria Kirilenko #21

Masha Sharapova

Elena Dementieva, followed by Maria Kirilenko and Maria Sharapova. :)

LOL :lol:

Myskina was leading Sharapova before the USA wake up :tape:

Lena D for sure! :)

Duuuhhhh...Lena D forever !! :))
