The biggest win and the worst defeat of your fave in 2006 season...

What was the biggest win and the worst defeat of your favourite???

My fave didn't have a big win.
Worst loss for me was her tank to Mauresmo in China.

Lindsay's biggest win came against Srebotnik to me.
It just felt like she would have ended her career there if she would have happened to lose to Srebotnik.

Lindsay's worse lost happens to be a tie between HIngis at Indian Wells and Mauresmo a Beijing.
Both players haven't beaten Lindsay in over 4 years but she let them just dominate her in those matches.
It shows regression when she needs the opposite of that to really have any chance of winning a slam.

Us Open Azarenka def. Myskina :help:
Varsovie Radwanska def. Myskina :tape:

The badests

2 lost in tier III and IV finals

Stockholm to Zheng :haha:
Istanbul to Peer :eek:

Don't get me started on Zurich :fiery:

Seriously Nastya, get yourself together in 2007, you really deserve better

Lindsay's biggest win came against Srebotnik to me.
It just felt like she would have ended her career there if she would have happened to lose to Srebotnik.

Lindsay's worse lost happens to be a tie between HIngis at Indian Wells and Mauresmo a Beijing.
Both players haven't beaten Lindsay in over 4 years but she let them just dominate her in those matches.
It shows regression when she needs the opposite of that to really have any chance of winning a slam.

Even though it was her first match in forever, I think Lindsay's worst loss of the year was against Stosur in LA.

Serena
Best - erm...erm...erm...Her win over Ivanovic.
Worst - Her loss against Hantuchova pained me.

Venus
Best - She really hasn't had any, but I'll say her win over Hingis.
Worst - Pironkova or Vaidisova :help:

Davenport
Best - Against Srebotnik for the same reasons as wannabeknowitall
Worst - Against Hingis at Indian Wells.

Sharapova
Best - Against Henin at the US Open final. Had an awful record against her and finally won another major. :worship:
Worst - Against Safina at the French Open, from a 5-1 lead in the 3rd. :rolleyes:

Serena:

Win: either beating Shaughnessy @ LA or beating Ivanovic at the US Open
Loss: vs. Hantuchova @ the OZ Open, that one still stings

Venus:

Win: beating Hingis in Warsaw
Loss: vs. Vaidisova at the FO QF

Mirza def Hingis

THIS ONE IS HURTING .... Camillette :hearts:

Serena:

Win: either beating Shaughnessy @ LA or beating Ivanovic at the US Open
Loss: vs. Hantuchova @ the OZ Open, that one still stings

Venus:

Win: beating Hingis in Warsaw
Loss: vs. Vaidisova at the FO QF

Agree that V's win over Marti was great, she showed great fight in that match even though at the time I wanted to fly to Poland to give Martina a proper bitch-slapping, what a bizarre match!

I think her worst loss though was in Australia to Pironkova, who played out of her mind, still, Venus shouldn't have lost that match! :mad:
I hope Venus starts 2007 on a tear!!

I think Serena's biggest win came against Na Li.
I don't even see Serena in the top 100 without that win.

I think Serena's worse lost came against Jankovic.
I worry about that matchup. Serena is still a step lower. She's compensating with one of the best slices on tour but against someone like Jankovic that might not be enough.

Pierce

Best :D - win over... erm... maybe her win over bammer because it was her comeback match and she was so close to losing and she managed to win 6-1 6-7 7-6 with a lot of heart. maybe her win over sugiyama 7-6 7-6 because she stopped that awaful run of losses.

Worst - obviously the loss to bepa z because every time i think about seeing her lying there it makes me feel ill. and she had match points. and she was finally back on track. everything about that match makes it the worst match ever.

but if we're talking about matches that actually got finished then it has to be her 3-6 5-7 loss to benesova at the AO because i expected so much of her after her glorious 2005 season. it still hurts.

Zheng

she has loads of good and bad matches to choose from

good include wins over groenefeld (before her slump), pennetta (easily), golovin (easily), wozniaki (easily), pironkova and thrashing myskina in the stockholm final

notable mentions are that she was one of the rare players to really challenge the clay court petrova who was in unstoppable form (6-7 6-4 4-6) and was the only player who managed to challenge ana ivanovic when she had that incredible week in montreal (4-6 7-6 2-6)

bad include the ones that made up her 6 match losing streak at the beginning of the season. but the worst is probably her latest loss to joanna sacowicz...only winning 4 games :help:

Lindsay's biggest win came against Srebotnik to me.
It just felt like she would have ended her career there if she would have happened to lose to Srebotnik.

Lindsay's worse lost happens to be a tie between HIngis at Indian Wells and Mauresmo a Beijing.
Both players haven't beaten Lindsay in over 4 years but she let them just dominate her in those matches.
It shows regression when she needs the opposite of that to really have any chance of winning a slam.

The win of Srebotnik was huge, just because Lindsay came back from the brink at the USO.

The Hingis match, Lindsay was injured and I'm willing to give a pass at that one.
The lost to Mauresmo in Beijing was just disgusting. That gets my nod.

Petrova beat JHH in Berlin final :drool:

but Petrova loosing to Batoli :help: :o :(

Best wins:
1) Kuznetsova Eastbourne semis
2) Jankovic Wimbledon 4r
3) Ivanovic RG 3r

1) Schnyder AO 4r, horrible performance
2) Sugiyama Doha 2r, Nastya wasted a 5-2 lead in the 1st set :tape:
3) Radwanska Warsaw 1r :o :o

Justine's worst losses would be her loss to Mauresmo at Wimbledon and YEC. big leads and she let it slip. and her loss to Nadia stung as well. and to sharapova. god!these were matches i really expected her to win.

best, YEC over sharapova and Mauresmo.

Kim's best? none. worst? her losses to mauresmo. i mean, momo used to be her biatch she used to push around! and momo just turned it around.

Amelie

best: her win over Henin at Wimbledon :drool: and her semifinal this week against Kim :yeah:

0-6 4-6 against Knapp in Luxenbourg

Maria Sharapova

Best Wins: Us Open Final, Zurich Final, Linz final ( those increasing her chances to become nr 1 at the end of the year)
Worst loss: Even she lost a few games this year with dementieva and jackson the painful loss for her was the last one because she lost everything she achieved in the round robin stage.(those 3 remarcable wins).

Sugiyama:
Best win:
7-5 3-6 6-4 Hingis at Wimbledon. I didn't expect this :) I remember how one of those Australian tennis commentators talking about how Hingis has a great draw: that none of the girls were any good in her section. So I was even more happy :)

Worst loss:
I thought the losses to Elene Danilidou weren't very good: 0-6 6-3 6-4 loss as the 5th seed at Hasselt and 6-3 2-6 7-6(3) loss in the Seoul final. But then again Eleni is a good player, having been top 20.

The worst losses definitely would be either Conchita Martinez Granados 64 63 at the Australian Open or Yung-Jan Chan 63 64 at the Japan Open.

worst

L to Savchuk 6-3, 6-4

LOL, its only listed because of how embarassing it was to lose to Hantuchova at a slam. That makes you feel happy? :help: :o If I were you, I'd be insulted.

Serena: no good wins. Closest thing to it was against Ivanovic at the US Open. Only semi-quality opponent she beat this year.
loss: to Mauresmo at the US Open/Jankovic in LA

Serena:
Best - def Myskina 6/2 6/2, 1st match in 6 months :hearts: And she looked pretty :D
Worst - lost to. Mauresmo 6/4 0/6 6/2 Serena's forehand :cuckoo:

I think Serena's biggest win came against Na Li.
I don't even see Serena in the top 100 without that win.

I think Serena's worse lost came against Jankovic.
I worry about that matchup. Serena is still a step lower. She's compensating with one of the best slices on tour but against someone like Jankovic that might not be enough.It says the best win and worst defeat of your FAVE wannabe. :rolleyes:

Amelie

best: her win over Henin at Wimbledon :drool: and her semifinal this week against Kim :yeah:
worst: the 2 losses to Nicole, especially in Moscow :help: and the semifinal against Maria at the US Open (not because she lost, but cause of the scoreline :sad: )


my choices as well.

loss: to Mauresmo at the US Open/Jankovic in LA


Lol, yeah k, actually I enjoy you and some of your fellow williams fans grinding your teeth at the fact that Daniela beat her, and it does make me feel happy because I know it irritates you.

na li

the biggest win- Def nicole and reached QF of wimbledon... lost to Kim 46 75 in SF though :o

The worst defeat- R1 in montreal :tape: :scared:

Nastya

Best Win- I guess the Kuznetsova win at Eastbourne since it was her only top 10 win of the year.

Worst Loss- I'm going to say the Mauresmo loss at Wimbledon because Amelie was playing so poorly and practically giving the match to Nastya but she gave it right back because she somehow played worse than Mauresmo.

Her loss to A. Radwanska was obviously worse from a rankings stand point.

Tati

Best Win- Probably the win over Anna Chakvetadze in US Open 4th round since it got her to her first ever Grand Slam QF.

Worst Loss- Losing 6-3, 6-0 to Bartoli in Tokyo.

Maria

Best win - USO final win over JHH:worship:

Worst loss - RG loss to Safina & LA loss to Dementieva:o

It says the best win and worst defeat of your FAVE wannabe. :rolleyes:

Lindsay and Serena are my faves.
Just because I say something about Serena doesn't mean she's not my fave.
I know this must be a weird concept but people can actually like an artist, celebrity, or athlete without liking everything they do.

Misa: whole week of Rosmalen, but especially beating Dementieva.
Worst: losing in straight sets to Rodionova on hard in New Haven quallies :help:

Best

Lena defeat Juju in IW SF

To me:

Kim's Best Win: Defeating Sveta at the YEC quite handly 6-1 6-1. One of the best matches i have seen her play all year :worship:

plus defeating zvonareva & kanepi in tough 3 setters in the last 2 rounds 2 win hasselt after her 2 month injury lay-off. that eased the pain.

Kim's Worst Defeat: Losing to Justine 6-3 6-2 in RG semis. she played terrible & did not play at her best. don't think i could watch that match :sad:

plus kim retiring in the 2R of montreal against dubois due 2 that stupid wrist injury :( horrible memory :sad:

Best win Justine v Kuzzy @ FO.

Worst was Wimby loss vs Momo. She almost had it in the bag and choked...

Tati
Biggest win for Tati would be beating Anna C to reach her first QF in USO. That was something she needed after being injured in Miami.
Worst defeat for Tati was easy. The loss @ IW to Dulko. The classic choking took place. (The loss to Marion is close second)
Best match from Tati in 2006 was against Krajicek @ Stuttgart. That serve was smoking. everything was working for Tati during that match.
