If I were Justine I would be concerned..she came pretty close to losing to a big groundstroker with not much of a serve...now she's playing a big groundstroker with a big serve.

It's not just that, but on hardcourts Nadya is better ( than Henin ) in every department - serve, forehand, backhand. Except for volley, perhaps, and footspeed.

It's a new Justine out there. A Slam and a couple of big wins do that to you. She's finding inner strengths she did even know she had.

As long as Dementieva had legs to run yesterday, Justine had no say in the match and was completely outplayed. It's not my opinion. It's Justine's. Read her interview. Petrova is every bit as good as Dementieva, except that now she will have an advantage of fresher legs, because she had a cakewlk match yesterday, and she has no problem ( unlike Dementieva ) with jetlag consequences, because she is already more than two on West Coast.

Volcana automatically assumed Clijsters HAD to have the cakewalk draw, and assumed Davenport/Rubin was in Henins side.

:haha:

Because she had an year-long injury, after which she was ranked in the second hundred, and every player in that situation would have to fight for every bit of confidence, that lacks really badly. But it is coming together.
