It's NOT a good record. She's never beaten a top 15 player on American hardcourts.

I think she hurt her hand during the match against Marissa Irvin. It was only in the third set, so it could never have been an easy match.

I'm sure this year Henin will beat better players.
She broke her finger or something
you seem so obsesssed with justine these days........this should be hiding something ( fear?)
I think you can ignore these results now that she has a GS. She has improved so much since the spring and her confidence is the highest of anyone at the moment. It is her weakest surface though, but she will improve. She played brilliantly against Daniilidou.
OK, first of all, who even cares about whether it's in America or outside of America?
If Justine beats Lindsay in Australia on hardcourts, and Monica in Dubai, that's good enough for me.

Did you know Serena hasn't beaten ANY top 15 player on Estonian hardcourts? :eek:

But she sure defeated them on all the other hardcourts! :D

Lame. Two similar surfaces can play completely different in two diffferent countries. Leave alone such vastly different surfaces as RA and Decoturf. They are MUCH more different than, say, green clay and red clay. And country does matter. Take, for instance, Yevgeny Kafelnikov. They say he sucks on grass. In fact, he sucks on English grass. But on German grass he is the king. Go figure..
It's NOT a good record. She's never beaten a top 15 player on American hardcourts.
I advise you to check Kournikova's ranking at the time she was beaten by Henin. I think you might have to revise your statement :p

Both Belgians didn't play well last year on the American hardcourts.

We will see what happens this year (Kim already won 1 tournament).

Kim hasn't lost this year against a player out of the top 4 (except against Ai, Ai later said that Kim told her that she had a lot "female trouble" that day).

Justine lost against Dementieva (having MP) and against Rubin (non-top 4). Both losses surprised me enormously.

Both Belgians combined have this year a 10-0 h2h against Davenport, Capriati, Mauresmo and Seles.

Well time to break with the tradition, I'd say :)
Justine´s shown us some improvement on hardcourts, but I can´t see her beating Serena, Venus nor Kim on hardcourts! She did beat Lindsay, but I doubt she can do it on american hardcourts.
I think Justine can, and will win alot more titles on hardcourts in the coming years. I don't think she'll get past the semis at the U.S. Open this year, but she has more potential on hardcourts than most of the girls around her. She has made major improvements and grown her game into a more mature, well-rounded allcourt attack. I think if she begins to utilize her terrific slice backhand, and makes the commitment to follow it to the net, she can have a major breakthrough. All the tools are in place, Justine!
Some Belgian fans are becoming as sensitive and paranoid as some Williams fans. Analysis of results is part and parcel of following tennis closely, and anyone who knows Volcana will be aware that he does this for all players.

ys is right: country certainly does matter. It's highly telling that the hard courts on which Justine has had the greatest success are the slowest around.

I agree with the basic proposition that, relative to her results elsewhere, Justine is not that good on US hard courts (NOTE: not the same as saying that she is flat out not good on them). I think her record will improve this year for two reasons - one, the extra confidence she's gained after winning a Slam, and two, the improvements in her game which have lifted her to new realms of consistency. As of now, though, she's far from being a US Open favourite.

I've seen this a lot from Volcana and I'm happy he does this.

Serena and Venus still seem a lot better than all the rest, but I still feel that Kim comes the closest of all the contenders. The loss against Serena at the Aus Open is a very bad loss. Serena would have had 650 points less and Kim would have had 400 points more (even if she had lost the final against Venus). All the statistics of the averages are being influenced by this match. Kim would have had by now a massive lead on Serena, so it's dangerous to claim Kim doesn't deserve the ranking she has now. I feel Kim could have had a lot more wins (Kim against Justine in Berlin, against Ai, against Venus at Wimbledon, against Serena at the Aus Open).

I don't like statements like this, because it's all 'if's' and 'would have's'.

In a few weeks time she's most likely no. 1 and she'll have earned it.
Let's keep it at that.
could, if, as, would have ... the scores is the only thing that counts!

btw I don't see anything about Kim in sartrista7's post? The post is a good one were even I, a justine-fan, could find myself in ;)
I don't know why Volcano tries to point this out now, as Justine just put up a great performance against a great player on hardcourt.
Maybe it's just because he's bored because Serena and Venus won't play until US Open. :)
