I was just looking at some H2H's and would be interested to know if there are any other good examples of h2h's that started strongly in someone's favour but then totally went the other way as time went by.

For example, Davenport had a great start against Justine but then it was all one way traffic after about the 5th or 6th meeting between them. Same for Mauresmo - Capriata to a degree.

Any others anyone care to share? Apologies if a similar thread has previously run.

Thanks

Although Kim remained ahead overall.

Schiavone - Radwanska :lol:

Kim used to be beat Justine all the time, then it flipped and Justine used to win most of the time

Venus vs Clijsters
h2h was 6-2 in favour of Venus before '05
now it's Clijsters 7-6 Venus

Indeed.

Although at the very end Clijsters nipped back into the lead with those 3 wins in 2010.

oh wow, I never actually saw these two play each other but, boy, did judging from that h2h they seem to have a lot of close matches!

Dementieva / Ivanovic

Jankovic / Wozniacki (disgusting, but I don't count their last meeting)

I don't have any examples for you, but I just wanted to chime in and say that these head-to-head reversals are often due to completely "natural causes". E.g. a player at her peak will beat a future star a couple of times before the roles are reversed; the now-star beating the past-her-prime player.

Justine- Jelena Jankovic. Empress Jelena had managed to keep the h2h levelled at 0-0 but then Justine snatched 11 wins in a row

This makes me . Close, three set matches between top ten players in the QF, SF and F used to be the norm on the WTA. Now you go from journeywoman to slam champ overnight.

Sharapova - Na almost :lol:

:haha:

Reads even better this way...

Justine- Jelena Jankovic. Empress Jelena had never lost to Justine till 2005 but then Justine snatched 11 wins in a row

 

[Vartan]

Evert was a dinosaur by then.

Chris v Martina.

Yeah, this is probably the most classic.
