Is it necessary to have won a grand slam to become no.1?
Is it a coincidence that Kim became number one in all four categories: single, double, championship single and double? This unique in tennis history. From the 12 female players who ever ascenden to the number one place, only Navratilova was number one in single and double. Players lijk Suarez and Ruano-<pasqual, top double players played more tournaments than KIm. Yet , Kim became no. 1 in double. It's up to any individual player to play in as many tournaments he or she likes. What will be the reaction when Henin became no. 1: Kim only played a few more tournaments. Will it be justified because she won a major? (remember the semi-final?)
Our Kim won two majors in double (Roland-Garros and Wimbledon. Is this quality or not?
It's not the the other players' fault when Serena prefers to cancel her paricpation in a tournament and act in a movie. That is completely her own choice, bur then you cannot blame the others they play too many tournaments. It's not only Kim who played so many tournaments on that age. Capriata, Davenport, Mauresmo would play the same amount, but were unlucky enough to get injured.
People pretend Kim becam no. 1 because Serena couldn't play. What if Venu s or Justine wins the US open? "Thank you Serena for your injury"?
How long ago di Venus win a major?? I can't remember.
Kim became 20 years, three months ago. She was younger to be a no. 1 than many others (Navratilova: 22; Serena: 21; Davenport: 22; Capriati: 25; Sanchez-Vicario: 24; Venus: 22). Seles was younger, but had not to struggle against the Williams-sisters, neither so with Steffi Graf. Kim deserves to be no.1; she still has lots of time to win a major.
People say Kim chokes in the big matches.
It's frustration: whenever Kim has the lead after the first set, het opponent calls for a time-out to look after her injury. Result: Kim loses next set or the match. This happened against Serena in the Australian Open, against Venus in Wimbledon (Venus got saved by the rain), against Capriati in Stanford and last but not least against HeniHardenne in San Diego.
Good luck for Kim next week, but if she doesn't make it all the way to the final: she will stay our hero
WE LOVE YOU, KIM
