She sure has a great chance. She keeps getting better and better, and the top players never overlook her, they know that they are going to have to play at their absolute best to beat her. Just like Justine said about her semi with Jen, " It could have gone either way, I was lucky". Check out Jennifer' GREAT ATTITUDE after her semi....
Q. We sometimes ask athletes what it's like to lift the trophy at that moment of triumph. The harder question is what is that feeling of loss after over three hours, there's that finality, it's sweeping over you? Can you describe those feelings you must have?
JENNIFER CAPRIATI: It's pretty hard to put it into words. I mean, it's definitely, you know, after that kind of defeat and then, you know, have to come here and kind of answer these questions... (Smiling).
I mean, that's what it's all about, you know. That's the risk you're taking. I mean, that's what being an athlete is. You could get such joy in winning, but there's the other side of it. You know, a true champion, a true player, that's how they can handle it and come through that kind of defeat.
You know, still almost ‑‑ I mean, I still, like, thrive on this kind of match. You know, I do want to come back and try it again, you know.
Jen has a great shot at the AO, a surface well suited to her playing style, and if she continues training in the off season, she will be ready.
And for those who say she is getting old... that is bullshit. Jen has been virtually injury free her whole career, and she was off the circuit for 3 years in the middle of her career. She has atleast another 3-4 good years left in her body.
