To be fair to Juju Heng, I do think something was wrong with her. Mauresmo wasn't doing anything special; she was just looping her FH into play and Justine couldn't tee off them for whatever reason. But it was still poor taste to retire. I feel bad for Mauresmo having to win her first slam like that
She was being outplayed and had no idea what to do to break Amelie's momentum. I remember the look on her face and the way she looked at Carlos. She was just helpless and confused. And I'm sure not because of injury.

Carlos He;s so freaky. I remember during Na's Sydney match against Aga he was giving death glares basically every time they showed his face. It's a shame because I really like Na I'm actually surprised Na's handling the situation well; I thought Carlos would drive her insane.

After hearing some of Na's interviews, I actually think Na doesn't like Carlos and she doesn't care that much about him
That is a big part I just can't stand people who will cheat & do anything humanly possible to win. This is the main reason I always hated Schumacher. He is in the same mould as her. You should have at least some integrity. They have no conscience in their desperation to win. Henin was a queen of fake MTO, her screams of "Allez!!!1111", being constantly coached during matches & getting away with it, the hand...and so on. Anyone that can rob someone of their GS glory as she did to Amelie at AO... That summed her character to a tee.
I liked Henin, mainly because of her game. But some of those moments were disappointing. Not to mention her retirement #1 and #2.

It was NID that when Kim announced her comeback she would comeback too Thankfully Kim 2.0 was good enough to be undefeated vs Henin 2.0.
__________________ Interviewer: Hampton upset Kvitova. Do you know her? Jankovic: I think she is a young player. Interviewer: 23. Jankovic: Not that young.
I remember after her match against Wozniacki in Melbourne and she was asked what pulled her through and she said: "prize money."
Complete GOAT of interviews

Hingis 2.0 was awful. She stood way behind the baseline and played defensively instead of taking the ball early inside the baseline like she did in her first career. The only match she played that resembled her former self was her Tokyo SF vs; Martha.

To this day, I still can't understand how she lost that AO final to Capriati

In 2002 Capriati hit [Serena]lucky shots[/Serena] on the bigs points.

First of all, I can't stand how overly emotional she is. I mean you're injured, that's great but you don't need to make a scene about it. The previous generation had their injuries as well but handled them a lot more professionally she does now. I kind of had the same issue with Zvonareva when she was at the top of the game.
Second of all, it just annoys me how people think she's some amazing talent; when you're unloading on every shot, you're bound to have a day where you hit the lines. It doesn't mean you're talented, it means you're getting lucky.
Oh and I don't like Ana either
I have this irrational instant dislike of ballbashers. And if there ever was an ungainly, brainless, Hulk-ish ballbasher, it's Lisicki. I just can't watch that kind of tennis.

Well, who in the WTA doesn't have them?

Man, I really couldn't stand her during her first career. Actually, it's not just her, she and Rodriguez are like a single entity to me, Rodriguez being the viler half. But I've always thought one should cut her some slack based on her obviously being a very troubled individual with a lot of setbacks in life she had no control over (her unfortunate physique, losing her mother at such a young age...) Rodriguez recognised her potential and her desperate willingness to do anything in order to get ahead in life (which should explain her cheating-prone attitude) and exploited it to make a tennis machine out of her. I do think she played fantastic tennis, but I also think her first abrupt retirement is terribly fishy...

I also can't believe they've lasted this long! I've expected Na to ditch him in record time. But I suppose she's matured along with her game and realised that he can be of use as a coach. But I do hope she treats him like a cockroach that he is.

No wonder you hate Karolina so much.

Imagine him working with JJ; that would last about 5 minutes
But she's not even a pusher, she's an unclassifiable tennis catastrophe.
Also, I like Na a lot, and even don't mind Kvitova now and then, so I don't think that every ballbasher is completely brainless and scorn-worthy. .
