Which will happen first, Sharapova winning a grand slam again after her major shoulder injury (her 4th grand slam) or Wozniacki winning her first grand slam?

This is ridiculous. She's TWENTY FUCKING ONE. Who cares what come first. Sharapova won't be around long anyways, seeing how she doesn't see herself playing to 30.

If she doesn't win another slam before Pushinacki, I will eat cat shit and upload the video to TF. b) Are you crazy? Of course Wozniacki. If she doesn't win a slam before Doublefaultpova, I will eat dog poo and upload the video to TF. c) Are you insane? None of them will win a slam (again). If any of them does, I will eat human crap and upload the video to TF. d) Do you think I'm a moron? Who knows? Who can tell the future?

Still hasn't beaten a top 10 player :lol:. You also forgot to mention Caro, she slapped her around the last time they met in a GS. Also that match with Lisicki was pathetic, hitting 12 DF and still winning in 2. Really sums up how awful Sabine was playing.

All this hypothetical stuff is fine, I was just pointing out to the guy who said Maria can beat top players at Slams unlike Wozniacki, the fact that Maria hasnt beaten a top 10 player at a slam in over 3 and a half years . And about not playing enough top 10 players at slams, Maria herself has been past the Quarterfinal stage only three times in past three years, has played 4 top 10 players and was straight setted by all of them. I am not saying that Wozniacki will win a slam first, I am just pointing out the facts to the people believing that Sharapova is consistently beating top players at slams. The Dawntreader Jul 12th, 2011, 08:11 PM I'd actually give Serena more of an edge to win another Slam ahead of these two. No joke. Doully Jul 12th, 2011, 08:12 PM Is this a serious question?

PooVa was lucky to get to the final had she met Vika or some random player with half game she would have lost early. :shrug:. Lucky to get to the final, lucky to win W in 2004 and the YEC.

Any reasonable tennis fan know's that Caro has the game to beat PooVa. She did it once allready. To say she didnt had a chance is just ridiculous. Give PooVa enough rally's and she'll run out of gas and start trying to hit winners from all over the court. Putting pressure on that serve, which then produces more DF's.

Maria's form has clearly improved since March and you know it, Caroline OTOH has suffered from tough losses but anyway bring the HC season. She's saying that Caro had chances to beat Maria like she did the last time they played at a major. Blablablabla and Cibulkova also had chances because she defeated Maria at the French 2009 love and 2 but Maria kicked her butt this time. gc-spurs Jul 12th, 2011, 10:31 PM What an arrogant assumption.

Saying 'she doesn't have a chance' is ridiculous that's true, but the likelihood was that if that match ever occurred Maria would have won. Pretty much just because it was on grass where a) Maria is pretty good, and b) Wozniacki is pretty bad. Surface is a pretty big thing for Woz. Add the form factor of the last month, Sharapova had the clear edge. So I suppose the poster phrased his assumption arrogantly, but I reckon its a good assumption when you weigh the probabilities. dsanders06 Jul 12th, 2011, 10:34 PM Back on hardcourt where Caro beat Maria in 2 sets, both times they faced in the past year Maria leads the head-to-head :wavey: !VamosRafa!

She lost her movement and court sense in the last few months and allows opponents to step up. She is becoming less consistent and can't defend like she did last year. People are becoming more accurate and aggressive against her. She's always lost to a more aggressive player of the day - Na in AO, Zvonareva in Doha, Petkovic in Miami, Sharapova in Rome, Hantuchova in Paris and Cibulkova in Wimbledon. The reason she wins is also the reason she lost - because she didn't change a damn thing according to condition and the better player took them all.

Not sure if Maria will win the Open but I expect her to outperform Wozniacki this summer on hard courts. I have a feeling Wozniacki's career has already peaked to be honest and is now starting a slow decline. She might luck out and win a major at some point anyway though, but will lose the #1 rank before years end. goldenlox Jul 13th, 2011, 01:33 PM I think Maria has definitely passed Wozniacki back these last couple months.

Vee's last major was in 2001, 10 years aback. :tape: :lol::lol::lol: dsanders06 Jul 13th, 2011, 02:42 PM Last year she lost to Fran & Petra at FO & W, and is 5-0 against them since. That could happen with Dani/Domi also And Maria has a positive head-to-head against Wozniacki, yet that stat apparently isn't relevant to you :confused: Don't really see Sharapova winning anymore slams unless the tennis draw gods keep helping her out. Tell me, who in the last two years has had a significantly tougher road to a Slam final than Maria this year? Objectively, Maria had a slightly tougher road than Kvitova, if you look at bookmakers' odds (Azarenka was given only slightly shorter odds than Lisicki at the start of the event; Peng was given much shorter odds than anyone else Kvitova played). doomsday Jul 13th, 2011, 02:43 PM Trivia time: Who won a major last? Venus or Maria? I can see you changed subject, nice move.:lol: Anyway they both won their last major in 2008 but Maria has more time on her side, she is in the latter stages of majors again Venus has just 1 more year left. dsanders06 Jul 13th, 2011, 02:44 PM :lol::lol::lol: What's so funny? You do realise that in the last 3 and a half years, Venus and Maria have both made an equal amount of Slam semifinals, despite Maria struggling with injury for so much of that time? Vikapower Jul 13th, 2011, 02:47 PM :lol::lol::lol: It's always a pleasure to see/read/have someone happy, especially when that person is close to my heart :hatoff: but without all these gentleness and caring we shouldn't act as if Vee has done something special outside grass, this would be a crazy idea. :lol: Technically indeed Vee's last "real" major was in 2001, fanatically it was in 2008. :wavey: SoBlackAndBlue Jul 13th, 2011, 02:47 PM What's so funny? You do realise that in the last 3 and a half years, Venus and Maria have both made an equal amount of Slam semifinals, despite Maria struggling with injury for so much of that time? Who's made more finals? If making semifinals was all you needed to be great, Sharapova would be Steffi friggin Graf. Novichok Jul 13th, 2011, 02:49 PM It's always a pleasure to see/read/have someone happy, especially when that person is close to my heart :hatoff: but without all these gentleness and caring we shouldn't act as if Vee has done something special outside grass, this would be a crazy idea. :lol: Technically indeed Vee's last "real" major was in 2001, fanatically it was in 2008. :wavey: What the hell? That doesn't make sense.You can't write off her last 3 majors because she happened to win them at Wimbledon. justineheninfan Jul 13th, 2011, 02:49 PM Don't really see Sharapova winning anymore slams unless the tennis draw gods keep helping her out. Given the current field her draws were as tough as they will get for the forseeable future, unless Serena rediscovers top form or Kim makes another grand comeback. You cant make tough draws out of a weakish field. CareerSlamPova Jul 13th, 2011, 03:01 PM Is this a serious question? Caro is already a legend, while Sharapova is just another journeywoman :shrug: Caro will win at least 5 times more slams than Sharapova :) Caro is a legend? :haha: for her 0.0000000000000 slams ?? or her post whore antiques!! :worship: Sharapova journey women? :rolls: :happy: Heights of trollness!! :bowdown: 5 times more slams. :lol: You know 5 x 3 is 15. and Caro is just 15 slams away from that.Yeah!! So close! :) :yeah: dsanders06 Jul 13th, 2011, 03:24 PM Who's made more finals? If making semifinals was all you needed to be great, Sharapova would be Steffi friggin Graf. They've both made two finals in that timeframe. Again, despite Maria suffering the most serious injury a tennisplayer can. Given the current field her draws were as tough as they will get for the forseeable future, unless Serena rediscovers top form or Kim makes another grand comeback. You cant make tough draws out of a weakish field. This x 500. Even if Maria did have a "weak draw", they're par for the course for Slams these days - they've constantly happened over the past two years, and they're going to keep happening, for Maria and every other player. In 2010, in the two Slams that Serena won, 13 of her 14 matches were against players outside the top 10. Akaniero Jul 13th, 2011, 03:46 PM At least she is known. :lol: Known for being a stupid, cold, screaming, classless, garbage player who just hits the ball as hard as she can? Yeah, I'd love to be known as that :lol: BepaMaria Jul 13th, 2011, 03:50 PM Of course Masha's post injury slam as she is in much better form, reaching the Wimby final recently while Pushniacki has crashed out early in the last 2. In fact, I see Sharapova winning USO this year, after which this discussion can be concluded 18majors Jul 13th, 2011, 03:54 PM ^I concur. The Kaz Jul 13th, 2011, 04:07 PM Moot votes. Utterly useless. Thou shalt have made the choices read: a) Sharapova. No questions about it. If she doesn't win another slam before Pushinacki, I will eat cat shit and upload the video to TF. b) Are you crazy? Of course Wozniacki. If she doesn't win a slam before Doublefaultpova, I will eat dog poo and upload the video to TF. c) Are you insane? None of them will win a slam (again). If any of them does, I will eat human crap and upload the video to TF. d) Do you think I'm a moron? Who knows? Who can tell the future? I ain't gonna upload shit videos to TF. :unsure: dane Jul 13th, 2011, 04:07 PM Caro is shining, Sharapova is declining. Caro is winning, Sharapova got her ass thrashed every time.

Material World Nov 7th, 2011, 07:20 PM Caro has it in her to win a slam, but she needs to adapt both her game and her playing programme. Drop the MM and focus all out on the big tourny's.

It is very possible neither will ever happen though. Fighterpova Nov 8th, 2011, 01:18 PM Caro. She is still very young and will probably snatch a title at the USO defeating Pennetta/Wickmayer in the SF and Radwanska in the final :rolls: Monzanator Nov 8th, 2011, 02:01 PM Why are people so obsessed with Caroline winning a slam. This is ridiculous. She's TWENTY FUCKING ONE. Who cares what come first. Sharapova won't be around long anyways, seeing how she doesn't see herself playing to 30. She'll win one or two and bow out I think. But I could give two shits which come first. Because she's ranked #1 for two straight years. Nobody would be so hyped about all this if she was ranked lower :shrug: It's really simple :wavey: The Dawntreader Nov 8th, 2011, 02:04 PM At this point, i think Pova's chances of winning a Slam are becoming steadily less than Wozniacki's chances.

Unfortunately for Caro, she tends to underperform at Wimbledon. madmax Nov 8th, 2011, 02:33 PM are people still entertaining idea of Dullniacki winning a slam? She lost her slim chance in the last two years, when the tour was in shambles and erratic Fiona was playing shit tennis to win her slams...at least when Pova loses, she plays like shit and makes gazillion errors, while Dullniacki is just hopeless in both wins and defeats LOL dsanders06 Nov 8th, 2011, 03:52 PM Maria's more likely fo sho. Matt01 Nov 8th, 2011, 04:07 PM Because she's ranked #1 for two straight years. What does being #1 have to do with winning Slams? :scratch: Adrian. Nov 8th, 2011, 09:32 PM What does being #1 have to do with winning Slams? :scratch: Actually nothing :shrug: Nowadays even Julia Cohen could be ranked #1 without even playing a WTA Tournament it seems :oh: CareerSlamPova Nov 10th, 2011, 02:59 AM Actually nothing :shrug: Nowadays even Julia Cohen could be ranked #1 without even playing a WTA Tournament it seems :oh: :spit: :happy: MashaFan01 Nov 10th, 2011, 08:37 AM Masha had to start all over again after her surgery - like a newbie - So how many newbies manage to climb from their #126 ranking spot to a top 5 place in little over 2 years? Maria is still "learning" - All of you standing by the sidelines with your fat bellies (just joking) and bashing her - let's see how far you'll get after a - as so many experts have witnessed - career ending injury? - Maybe Masha hasn't reached her old level yet - and maybe she never will - but few top tennis players have the focus and the will to get there again - in spite of all the golden endorsement contracts - Few players can - like Masha - win a match on just will power - We've seen it so many times - and even commentators don't dare to give away the match to her opponent until the match ball has been hit http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Maria+Sharapova+Championships+Wimbledon+2011+Ix5qw WzkmX1l.jpg Maria Sharapova - Wimbledon 2011 runner up That said - I think that Masha's prospects look good to win another slam in 2012 - All that needs to happen is that Masha suddenly feels comfy with her serve and she feels that she doesn't need to worry about it to much anymore - Her serve is the key to her success - The rest of her game is already in place - the lethal returns - her movement on court - her forehand and her ground strokes - Maybe this will happen in January already? - Even years (2004 - 2006 - 2008) have been Masha's best years - As for Wozniacki - I don't think she'll win one this year either Johnbert Nov 10th, 2011, 08:44 AM All that needs to happen is that Masha suddenly feels comfy with her serve and she feels that she doesn't need to worry about it to much anymore people hoping for this since 4 years... MashaFan01 Nov 10th, 2011, 09:02 AM people hoping for this since 4 years... Isn't there a saying - As long there is life there is hope? - Yep - Masha is still kickin' and shrieking and improving herself step by step - So who can deny the signs on the wall that her chances are good in getting there? - Who can state for sure that it would be a real surprise if Masha did win an additional slam in 2012? CareerSlamPova Nov 10th, 2011, 09:04 AM Not 4,3 years. madmax Nov 10th, 2011, 09:08 AM Not 4,3 years. actually it's been 2.5 years since Maria returned into action again after her injury...and her results are improving all the time too CareerSlamPova Nov 10th, 2011, 09:11 AM Yeah.Since 2009 Warsaw. So 2.5! Results have improved A LOT. And Maria was a lot closer to winning a slam ,than Caro was in 2011. CareerSlamPova Nov 10th, 2011, 09:13 AM Ok,the injury was just not any other 'normal' injury which heals in no time. It was a 'career threatening injury' through which not many people have returned. And Masha did. As she said its step by step,its a process. 2009-2010 was BAD,she had some positives though like 2009 French , 2010 French vs Henin, and Wimbledon 2010 vs Se-Rena. And in 2011,she went better Slam final,so I think 2012 will be a step ahead. And Maria will win a slam before Caro. Caro has been constantly going down.She hasn't made a slam final yet since 2009. Johnbert Nov 10th, 2011, 09:24 AM And Maria was a lot closer to winning a slam ,than Caro was in 2011. "a lot closer" :confused: ok, she played the final in wimby with a cakedraw. but she had no chance there to win the match, haven't got matchpoint or even setpoint. she was far away from winning the title. the same for woz at the us open as counter-example. she mad the semis there but wasn't close to the final at all, cause she got clearly beaten by serena there. but she was close to the final at australian open, wasted matchpoint against li in the semis... at the end of the day, they both weren't really close to win a slam :shrug: gulzhan Nov 10th, 2011, 09:26 AM What does being #1 have to do with winning Slams? :scratch: :rolls: Johnbert Nov 10th, 2011, 09:29 AM :rolls: #1 shows the most consistent player of the last 52 weeks. so it has nothing to do with winning slams at all :shrug: claypova Nov 10th, 2011, 09:30 AM "a lot closer" :confused: ok, she played the final in wimby with a cakedraw. but she had no chance there to win the match, haven't got matchpoint or even setpoint. she was far away from winning the title. the same for woz at the us open as counter-example. she mad the semis there but wasn't close to the final at all, cause she got clearly beaten by serena there. but she was close to the final at australian open, wasted matchpoint against li in the semis... at the end of the day, they both weren't really close to win a slam :shrug: a final is closer to the title than a semifinal :hug: madmax Nov 10th, 2011, 09:40 AM "a lot closer" :confused: ok, she played the final in wimby with a cakedraw. but she had no chance there to win the match, haven't got matchpoint or even setpoint. she was far away from winning the title. the same for woz at the us open as counter-example. she mad the semis there but wasn't close to the final at all, cause she got clearly beaten by serena there. but she was close to the final at australian open, wasted matchpoint against li in the semis... at the end of the day, they both weren't really close to win a slam :shrug: oh lookie, who's preaching here about "cakewalk" draws - a Dullniacki stan of them all?:lol: Do we need to remind you of US Open 09' draw for your fave or you can check it for yourself? Or how about her countless flukey draws in so called "Premier" events with injured/tired/headcase opponents retiring or self-destructing against her? Child please... Johnbert Nov 10th, 2011, 09:41 AM a final is closer to the title than a semifinal :hug: but you aren't "a lot closer" to the title, if you lose the final 3-6 4-6 in a onesided match. this is a naive miscalculation... claypova Nov 10th, 2011, 09:44 AM but you aren't "a lot closer" to the title, if you lose the final 3-6 4-6 in a onesided match. this is a naive miscalculation... but she was still closer :wavey: CareerSlamPova Nov 10th, 2011, 09:47 AM but you aren't "a lot closer" to the title, if you lose the final 3-6 4-6 in a onesided match. this is a naive miscalculation... 'Closer' was a word used to compare that Miss Maria Sharapova was in a Finals,which is one step behind a slam,while Princess Karoline was in SFs which is 2 steps behind a slam. Disguised Carotards,gotta make them understand from the scratch. :facepalm: Pity you have beautiful Sabine in your avie. :o Johnbert Nov 10th, 2011, 09:52 AM oh lookie, who's preaching here about "cakewalk" draws - a Dullniacki stan of them all?:lol: Do we need to remind you of US Open 09' draw for your fave or you can check it for yourself? Or how about her countless flukey draws in so called "Premier" events with injured/tired/headcase opponents retiring or self-destructing against her? Child please... that's all you have to say? :kiss: we talk about 2011, not 2009. i doesn't surprise me that you ignore the rest of my post and hang on with the "cakewalk". i also haven't contradicted that woz also had a cakewalk at the us 2009, so there's no big deal :shrug: Johnbert Nov 10th, 2011, 09:54 AM Disguised Carotards,gotta make them understand from the scratch. :facepalm: Pity you have beautiful Sabine in your avie. :o so for povatards one step is "a lot" :facepalm: Juju Nostalgique Nov 10th, 2011, 10:36 AM None. :oh: CareerSlamPova Nov 10th, 2011, 11:55 AM so for povatards one step is "a lot" :facepalm: Oh God,you are lame! :facepalm: One Step is less than 2 steps.I learned that in my first year at school,pity you haven't YET. :rolleyes: We are comparing Sharapova and Caroline here. :facepalm: mac47 Nov 10th, 2011, 06:48 PM They are both done. Pova will not have fewer injuries or more consistency, which are the things that are keeping her from regaining her slam-winning ways. And Caroline is a puzzle that the tour has figured out how to solve. New players are going to step up, and the window has closed. Julian. Jan 28th, 2012, 01:15 PM I still think Masha has a chance to win a slam one day :awww: justineheninfan Jan 28th, 2012, 05:29 PM The question now amounts to will Maria win another slam or not, as it is becoming increasingly clear Woz will never win one. I still think she will sneak out 1 more slam at one point. No idea if that is this year, 2 years from now, or 4 years from now though. Of course it might well never happen. Imperfect Angel Jan 28th, 2012, 06:07 PM Even Maria has her chances but she just couldn't bring it to the last hurdle.:lol: I still believe Caro will win FIRST.:oh: gociku Jun 9th, 2012, 03:17 PM :cheer::oh: Monzanator Jun 9th, 2012, 03:21 PM This thread needs some browsing rewind now :lol: flareon Jun 9th, 2012, 03:26 PM Hehe, well done masha :) gc-spurs Jun 9th, 2012, 03:40 PM The story of Maria and Caroline is like Harry and Voldemort's prophecy "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives" Woz at number 1 = Maria shit Maria at number 1 = Woz shit Renalicious Jun 9th, 2012, 03:56 PM I voted right. :oh: Mashabator Jun 9th, 2012, 04:01 PM :worship: NID Maria Croft Jun 9th, 2012, 04:09 PM Well, well :oh: RenaSlam. Jun 9th, 2012, 04:22 PM I was right, again. serenafann Jun 9th, 2012, 04:39 PM I hope Caroline finds a way to win one,she is a sweet girl. Mr.Sharapova Jun 9th, 2012, 04:41 PM This was NID actually :shrug:. MercuriePL Jun 9th, 2012, 04:43 PM LOL topic, the answer is definetely Wozniacki Adal Jun 9th, 2012, 04:45 PM Well and Caroline winning a slam seems very unlikely right now. dsanders06 Jun 9th, 2012, 04:45 PM This was NID actually :shrug:. Like seriously. Stonerpova Jun 9th, 2012, 04:52 PM Well and Caroline winning a slam seems very unlikely right now. Yep. Time for you to update the avi and sig :cheer: Maria4Ever Jun 9th, 2012, 05:07 PM Well and Caroline winning a slam seems very unlikely right now. Maybe it is just me but I still believe she will win one, possibly RG or Wimbledon bandabou Jun 9th, 2012, 05:09 PM It was always gonna be either Maria wins another or '08 oz open was Maria's last. Adal Jun 9th, 2012, 05:13 PM Yep. Time for you to update the avi and sig :cheer: Will do! :D NashaMasha Jun 9th, 2012, 05:15 PM I hope Caroline finds a way to win one,she is a sweet girl. sure sure, but just after Andy Murray :lol: Israel Jun 9th, 2012, 05:25 PM Voted now :D | |
