i don't know why, but when i see a picture of her hitting a backhand or pumping her fist, it's like monica all over again.

anyone else get that feeling?

and the stance on the return

 

[tyk101]

dats why she still hasn't beaten Monica yet...
lets hope MOnica comes back soon

 

[Hingiswinsthis]

at the stance when receiving serve, the "strings" look after the point, and how she wears her hat and hair on court

ps: never knew Monica is undeated against Clijsters

 

[tennisjam]

yeah, there is something similar in their attitudes....

 

[bandabou]

The only difference: Kim at age 20. ZERO SLAMS! Monica at age 20: 8 slams and already considered one of the greatest of all-time.

Kim´s still got some work to do there.

 

[hingis-seles]

She does sort of.

But even Guillermo Canas reminds me of Kim/Monica.

 

[Dava]

In a way, just the hitting a tone from both sides. But so does Vera Z and Myriam Casanova.

Hey, I only answered the question.

 

[Filip!]

bandabou is saying 1000 times the same thing, how sad :lol:

 

[hingis-seles]

:yawn:

A single smilie to get your point across. Now, that's a profound reply.

 

[bandabou]

Not sad.....it´s only how can you compare a player who hasn´t won a thing to MONICA SELES?! Let her start winning some first, no?!

To answer your question -- No.

The original question was "i don't know why, but when i see a picture of her hitting a backhand or pumping her fist, it's like monica all over again.

anyone else get that feeling?"

So the questioner was asking about appearance on the tennis court and said nothing about whether their career records were similar.

I'm assuming that you knew that already and are now only playing dumb.

Are you trying to brainwash us or what?
I bet you have it tattooed on your back or something: Kim: zero slams.

Now, I like Kim....but I´ll leave the tatooing for Lil Lleyton, don´t you think?!

I misunderstood the question...that´s all. I´m sorry. :angel:

 

[faboozadoo15]

well at least some poeple agree-- nice addition about the hat. i think their shirts appear similar too. i think kim looks a lot like monica of just a few years ago-present. i dont see many similarities between clijsters now and monica of 93. i think their arms are very much alike too.

 

[selesrules]

She kinda reminds me of Monica with some of her gestures & facial expressions on the court.

 

[Volcana]

Can't say I get that feeling. Thing is, fist-pumping is generic. Most players do it the same way.

And when youcompare styles, within the confines of the baseline game, Kim and Monica couldn't be more different.

Monica was always forcing her way up the center, which gave her more and sharper angles to hit. And her groundies were offense, offense, offense unless you could consisitly hit within a foot of the baseline with pace.

Kim's an 'east-west' player. She goes side to side til the opponents give a weak return, and tries to hit whatever winner presents itself. She's almost purely defensive. She doesn't create points as much as exploit mistakes. Since her range is so phenomenal, she can get away with the style.

If Kim reminds me of anyone its Arantxa.

Now THAT´s the player Kim simbolizes!! Monica was waaayyy more agressive than Kim´s now!
