Is there any deal between those two tennis associations.? the jamierbelyea Jun 15th, 2008, 05:43 PM Good choice to a former Wimbledon champion (in doubles). Very similar to Stosur I reckon. TheBoiledEgg Jun 15th, 2008, 05:43 PM What?? Is there any deal between those two tennis associations.? Wimbledon is a Private Club :wavey: Dexter Jun 15th, 2008, 05:44 PM Good choice. :yeah: Jie Zheng is a Wimbledon champion (in doubles) and a player who but for injuries would've been well inside top100. ^bibi^ Jun 15th, 2008, 05:45 PM they already gave one to a former double winner when they gave one to Black, so I guess that makes sense... It's a bit sad for Dokic though... cheo23 Jun 15th, 2008, 05:48 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! Adal Jun 15th, 2008, 05:48 PM Fair, even though I really wanted Jelena to get one Rising Sun Jun 15th, 2008, 05:52 PM Very surprised, but pleased with this decision. :eek: :) smokovec Jun 15th, 2008, 05:53 PM It's good for me. Jie wins 5 matches in Roland Garros and also plays well on grass. Rising Sun Jun 15th, 2008, 05:54 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! Li Na got to the QF in '06, though. :confused: Tzar Jun 15th, 2008, 05:55 PM Li Na got to the QF in '06, though. :confused: dont listen to cheo., LCS Jun 15th, 2008, 05:57 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! :weirdo: Shvedbarilescu Jun 15th, 2008, 06:01 PM Good choice. :yeah: Jie Zheng is a Wimbledon champion (in doubles) and a player who but for injuries would've been well inside top100. Agree. Well put. :yeah: A very good decision. :worship: cheo23 Jun 15th, 2008, 06:01 PM Li Na got to the QF in '06, though. :confused: Yes with the execption of Li Na, the other chinese girls are so WEAK. cheo23 Jun 15th, 2008, 06:03 PM Good choice. :yeah: Jie Zheng is a Wimbledon champion (in doubles) and a player who but for injuries would've been well inside top100. I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. Uranium Jun 15th, 2008, 06:05 PM :spit:what a random choice Dawson. Jun 15th, 2008, 06:06 PM omg i completely forgot about zheng jie! :lol: good choice, she is a wimbledon champion after all What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! :smash: most wildcards lose before the 3rd round! its not specific to chinese girls. by the way, does na li ring any bells?.... -sugi- Jun 15th, 2008, 06:06 PM An excellent choice. :yeah: Dawson. Jun 15th, 2008, 06:08 PM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. :haha: huber has not had the success of zheng in singles!!! shes a former top 30 player! and as for the american 'rising stars'... WTF?? :lol: Imperfect Angel Jun 15th, 2008, 06:09 PM Jie :yeah: Michaelz Jun 15th, 2008, 06:09 PM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. brangle play all grand slam this year and lost always Direwolf Jun 15th, 2008, 06:10 PM goo goo zheng... good luck in singles and doubles Just Do It Jun 15th, 2008, 06:20 PM :sad: RND Jun 15th, 2008, 06:29 PM Jie. :woohoo: mirzalover Jun 15th, 2008, 06:39 PM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. :lol: juki Jun 15th, 2008, 06:40 PM I believe that Jie went further at the FO then anyone else not already in MD, that could easily have been a deciding factor also. the jamierbelyea Jun 15th, 2008, 06:47 PM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. Amber would be so mortified if she knew she had a fan like you. Madi is the Queen of WC Playoffs at Oz and RG, but hasn't really used them too well. Zheng has made the 4R of a slam before also. disco_rage Jun 15th, 2008, 07:09 PM Well done Wimbledon. Fully deserved.. i'm sorry to Dokic fans, but if she really wants to come back this time.. she should do it the hard way, she has had to many wildcards in her last few attempts at a comeback. jazar Jun 15th, 2008, 07:21 PM waste xiaoyangmie Jun 15th, 2008, 07:57 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! but do all the players who get wc play into 3rd??? many of them even lose in the 1st round just like the French Open this year only 3 players:Mathilde Johansson,Samantha Stosur,Olivia Sanchez winned the 1st round,and they all lost in the 2nd round!! SARA-GOAT Jun 15th, 2008, 08:15 PM That`s great for Jie :hearts: SARA-GOAT Jun 15th, 2008, 08:45 PM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. As "weak" as Jie is, she is probably somewhat stronger than Amber Liu and Madison Brengle :rolleyes: valley girl Jun 15th, 2008, 08:46 PM WRONG!! WRONG!! WRONG!! Just political :rolleyes: mckyle. Jun 15th, 2008, 10:08 PM She proved at Roland Garros that she shouldn't have to go through qualifying again. She made the third round and almost took a set off of Safina. Iceland Jun 15th, 2008, 10:17 PM Excellent decision. :yeah: hdfb Jun 15th, 2008, 10:59 PM I was hoping for Dokic, but this works out fine, love those chinese girls! I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. Huber is hardly a singles player! And there is no way in heck Amber or Madison would get further than Zheng could. Geez. kfh_9118 Jun 15th, 2008, 11:03 PM wow, very unexpected, but nice surprise :) Do some damage, Zheng Jie :bounce: Nicolás89 Jun 15th, 2008, 11:40 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! Li Na is chinese and got to the Wimb quarterfinals in 2006. Nicolás89 Jun 15th, 2008, 11:40 PM BTW excellent choice. :yeah: Sassy-Na Jun 15th, 2008, 11:51 PM jie reached R3 in 06 :p rada Jun 15th, 2008, 11:56 PM I wanted to see Dokic :( jbeacinu Jun 16th, 2008, 12:00 AM Jie!!!1 njnetswill Jun 16th, 2008, 12:42 AM Wimbledon is rewarding players who had good runs at RG (Suarez Navarro, Chardy etc.), so I think this is a fair choice. Very happy for Jie. tim2502 Jun 16th, 2008, 12:53 AM good choice! some people just don't like the chinese girls.. so poor~ AnomyBC Jun 16th, 2008, 12:53 AM I don't understand this at all. Does Wimbledon only care about results? Don't they take hot bodies into consideration anymore??? :sad: mckyle. Jun 16th, 2008, 01:30 AM Wimbledon is rewarding players who had good runs at RG (Suarez Navarro, Chardy etc.), so I think this is a fair choice. Very happy for Jie. Yes, those players did have success at Roland Garros, but I don't believe those are the main reasons why they chose them. Zheng - Wimbledon Women's Doubles Champion in 2006 and former Top 30 player coming back from injury Suarez Navarro - Top 50 player who missed the cut-off for the main draw; how dumb would it be to have a Top 50 player play qualifying? Chardy - Wimbledon Boy's Champion in 2005 Chunchun Jun 16th, 2008, 02:58 AM I don't understand this at all. Does Wimbledon only care about results? Don't they take hot bodies into consideration anymore??? :sad: Jie Zheng :drool: :drool: :hotbody: Is it really that necessary for a hot body to have extremely big boobs or butts? :dokic: good choice! some people just don't like the chinese girls.. so poor~ some ppl just don't like chinese. The Kaz Jun 16th, 2008, 03:18 AM :o brunof Jun 16th, 2008, 04:19 AM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. Oh I totally agree. Liezel Huber should have got a singles wildcard for sure, based on her strong singles career. Amber has yet to lose a match on grass because she hasn't played one. <img><img> And Madison won a total of 1 game against Kops-Jones on grass last year, so she should have been chosen over Jie Zheng for sure... mal Jun 16th, 2008, 04:22 AM Jie Zheng :drool: :drool: :hotbody: Is it really that necessary for a hot body to have extremely big boobs or butts? :dokic: some ppl just don't like chinese. Skinheads.:tape: lovehotel Jun 16th, 2008, 04:52 AM Jie deserves it! kwilliams Jun 16th, 2008, 05:21 AM I think she deserves it. She's a good player. Optima Jun 16th, 2008, 05:30 AM Congrats Jie :D TS Jun 16th, 2008, 08:12 AM Sensible choice. Dokic fans :help: Paul. Jun 16th, 2008, 08:15 AM That's fantastic :D So happy for Jie :dance: Hope she gets a kind draw :) Harvs Jun 16th, 2008, 08:16 AM I'm sorry but Huber was also a doubles champion in Wimbledon, and that doesn't mean she WILL do well in singles. But seriously, they should give it to RIsing US players like Amber Liu and Madison Brengle. y the hell would wimbledon give a WC to a young US girl? sd3300123 Jun 16th, 2008, 08:25 AM Good luck to Jie OZTENNIS Jun 16th, 2008, 08:34 AM Yeah, why on earth would the AELTC give a wildcard to any of the young Americans? Maria Croft Jun 16th, 2008, 08:42 AM Yay! Well deserved Jie :worship: :hug: cheo23 Jun 16th, 2008, 04:22 PM ...;13399631']y the hell would wimbledon give a WC to a young US girl? Yeah, why on earth would the AELTC give a wildcard to any of the young Americans? Umm you guys are stupid or something?? It's young players that should be given a WILDCARD. Get it Together!!! It gives them something called "OPPORTUNITY". TheBoiledEgg Jun 16th, 2008, 05:18 PM Umm you guys are stupid or something?? It's young players that should be given a WILDCARD. Get it Together!!! It gives them something called "OPPORTUNITY". USTA would have to arrange something with the LTA but the LTA has NOTHING to do with Wimbledon apart from getting a 30M handout every yr so Get it together !!!! andrewC Jun 17th, 2008, 08:08 AM Good for Jie :D hope she makes the most of it! :banana: the jamierbelyea Jun 17th, 2008, 08:34 AM Umm you guys are stupid or something?? It's young players that should be given a WILDCARD. Get it Together!!! It gives them something called "OPPORTUNITY". Amber is only a year younger then Jie haha Oswald56 Jun 17th, 2008, 09:10 AM Probably a political decison to give her a wild card SARA-GOAT Jun 17th, 2008, 12:32 PM Amber is only a year younger then Jie haha Exactly :tape: SARA-GOAT Jun 17th, 2008, 12:34 PM Umm you guys are stupid or something?? It's young players that should be given a WILDCARD. Get it Together!!! It gives them something called "OPPORTUNITY". JiE iS mOrE dEsErvInG oF tHe WiLdCaRd tHaN AMbEr and MaDiSoN. GeT iT tOgEtHeR! Renalicious Jun 17th, 2008, 01:20 PM Good choice. :) Freakan Jun 17th, 2008, 02:52 PM Umm you guys are stupid or something?? It's young players that should be given a WILDCARD. Get it Together!!! It gives them something called "OPPORTUNITY". Liu received 25 WC's during her career and her career high is 241. I guess she had way to many opportunities and she proved that she didn't deserve them. Noctis Jun 17th, 2008, 02:54 PM Liu received 25 WC's during her career and her career high is 241. I guess she had way to many opportunities and she proved that she didn't deserve them. :rolleyes: Beat Jun 17th, 2008, 02:57 PM Sensible choice. Dokic fans :help: totally. and why is everybody answering to cheo23? there's no point, believe me. kaetchen Jun 17th, 2008, 04:38 PM a really good choice. I'm happy for her and I hope she'll do well. It's sad some people underestimate her and think American players should be the only ones to get wild cards. FORZA SARITA Jun 17th, 2008, 04:43 PM just to let you know:lol: Torino 10K R1 Gatto Monticone def Brengle 76 63 and this girl deserved a WC?:spit: Libertango Jun 27th, 2008, 06:52 PM WOW, Jie really made the most of her WC! Through to the 4th round, without losing a set, and beating the number one player in the world along the way. Well done Jie! HAOCHEN-GOAT Jun 27th, 2008, 06:53 PM :spit: @ most of people in this thread :rolls: http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/18/fullj.455e7fa8d1d89a12aede0be5210321db/455e7fa8d1d89a12aede0be5210321db-getty-tennis-gbr-wimbledon.jpg :D :D :D Libertango Jun 27th, 2008, 06:56 PM Look at the thighs on Jie! :eek: :p Adal Jun 27th, 2008, 06:56 PM Wow I kinda had a feeling she'll do well at Wimbledon. :scared: Aaron. Jun 27th, 2008, 07:06 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! Dont you feel stupid? Get it together. :weirdo: Williamsser Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:05 PM What a waste of WILD CARD!!! Chinese girls always lose before 3rd round!!! She reached the SF. It's not a waste of a wildcard. :rolleyes: ZeroSOFInfinity Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:07 PM A very deserved one indeed ;) soomaal Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:14 PM Well done Zheng Jie, just wow! An absolutely adorable girl I hope she does really well now and in olympics! I hope she wins doubles gold there. lympyisthebest Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:22 PM Oh Cheo, and the people saying this was solely a political decision, y'all must feel stupid. :rolls: eck Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:25 PM Cheo :lol: Miss Atomic Bomb Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:26 PM if you re arrange the words..it says wimbledon wild card jie jheng goes to the finals eck Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:30 PM :lol: Chunchun Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:30 PM wow. I remember i get a bad rep by some Dokic fans cuz I said sth like Zheng is more deserving than Dokic :lol: jamatthews Jul 3rd, 2008, 03:40 PM if you re arrange the words..it says wimbledon wild card jie jheng goes to the finals :eek::devil: Dodoboy. Jul 3rd, 2008, 04:09 PM I have never witnessed such a deserving WC!!!!!!!!!! She is playing amazing! cn ireland Jul 3rd, 2008, 04:24 PM As a Dokic fan I was a little disappointed that she didn't get the last WC, however Zheng has proved she's an excellent player and totally deserved the WC:)! I hope she makes the final!!!!!!!! roastie Jul 3rd, 2008, 04:32 PM Can Jie do an "Goran Ivanisavic"? (sp?) Didn't he win Wimbledon on a Wildcard? I sure hope so, but might be wishful thinking. Dawson. Jul 3rd, 2008, 04:43 PM cheo23 uranium jazar valley girl anomyBC do you all feel slightly embarrased?? :lol: mariahdg Jul 3rd, 2008, 04:44 PM Blue thing :haha: AnomyBC Jul 7th, 2008, 04:28 AM cheo23 uranium jazar valley girl anomyBC do you all feel slightly embarrased?? Why am I on that list?? I acknowledged that Zheng deserved it more based on results, but merely suggested that Dokic's hot body should have been taken into consideration---as it certainly should have been. Actually, I love both of them, so I think they should have both gotten wildcards. I mean, seriously, couldn't they have dropped one of those fat English chicks instead?
