why do you put some 2002 to Venus and Serena? and not to Kim?

Kim def. Henin at the masters last year

 

[Infiniti2001]

Vee lost to kim in Hamburg 2002

 

[Pureracket]

The correction is made.
Infiniti, it's the last 5 matches.

 

[Pureracket]

Cmon Kim,
I don't understand your comment.

 

[Venus Forever]

why do you put some 2002 to Venus and Serena? and not to Kim?

Kim def. Henin at the masters last year

This thread is about their last FIVE matches against Kim. Venus and Serena's happen to span into 2002, while Justine has had 5 matches this year with Kim.

Understand?

She had Sydney also I think

 

[Fingon]

let's see people, repeat after me:

one, two, three, four, five ...

now againg

one, two, three, four, five...

now you do it.


there you go

 

[Cybelle Darkholme]

she was doing the last five matches.

 

[Pureracket]

thanks

 

[SerenaSlam]

1 kim has never been great against venus or serena. she has 2 wins total over both of them, 1 off of each of them. her best chance at any top opponent other than venus or serena has been justine. and that has to do with justine is about 10X's below venus and serena.

 

[Infiniti2001]

OOPS!! I honestly missed the last 5

 

[Pureracket]

Infiniti,
I'm gonna have to choke you. . . LOL

 

[banana]

What is the importance of 5 matches, wouldn't it b betta 2 say in the last 12 months or 6 months. I would think it would b a betta indicator if u were 2 use time instead of matches. But that is just my opinion! What does this thread achieve neway?

 

[Pureracket]

'nana,
Seriously, I just used the five matches as an arbitrary marker. If we went much further back, especially in the case of Vee and Serena, it would look worse for Kimmie.
The point is to highlight the record of the future #1 against her chief rivals up to this point. That's what we do here from time to time.

 

[aussie_stars]

wow these are amazing stats.

sure kim does brilliantly against everyone outside the top4, which is a credit to her, but its interesting that in head to head battles, she would be considered the 4th best out of serena, venus, justine and herself.

 

[Knizzle]

Henin may get away with the US Open 2003, if it wasn't for that meddling Venus Williams. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I admire your courage, I personally don't like to make predictions because I can't see the future.

I can only see who I think is likely to do well and can have a shot at the title but never, ever I would affirm categorically that someone is going to win.

I guess I don't like to look stupid if I am wrong.

 

[Jarrett]

she was doing the last five matches.

But why? Why not do the matches within the last year (52 weeks) with these players because he/she is obivously trying to challenge Kim's claim to the number #1 ranking.

 

[Jarrett]

I know it won't make much of a difference, but I think it would make more sense.
