I THINK NOT!!

stanford ~ washington 6/4 3/6 6/1

This wasnt a Thriller it was a Bores.

This wasnt a Thriller it was a Bores.

maybe they werent all thrillers, but they were all three set matches

 

[Geoffry]

the match against Clijsters at the YEC was a thriller and she really deserved to win that one

 

[jimbo mack]

the match against Clijsters at the YEC was a thriller and she really deserved to win that one

i didnt get a chance to see that one :sad:

everybody was telling me how much of a high quality match it was though

it was winning that match that made her the world number 1 at year's end again

 

[Andrew.]

It's not that she's a three set choker, it's that she tanks alot of three set matches.

 

[jimbo mack]

andrew, this is a POSITIVE thread!

we're celebrating her 3 sets WINS, not the 3 set losses

 

[GoDominique]

They are all from 2001 or earlier = before her injury. Since then she has done nothing.

 

[thelittlestelf]

I want to see the Davenport/Date match.

 

[Andrew.]

She didn't tank as much back then.

 

[Crazy_Fool]

I don't think she is a choker in that sense of the word. Its just that if a player gets on top of her and is ahead she gets into a sulk and doesn't fight that much. Nothing to do with 3 setters.

Exactly, TANK.

2003 Indian Wells: Davenport def. Capriati 6-4; 4-6; 6-4 in one of the best matches I have seen. Sadly, J-Cap lost:sad: :sad: :sad:

2003 Amelia Island: Davenport def. Capriati 6-2; 5-7; 6-3 not as good a match, but J-Cap STILL lost, and on clay .

That's because Lindsay has made Capriati her bitch.

 

[GoDominique]

Well, Jen is no top-player and Slam contender anymore, just like Lindsay.

 

[thelittlestelf]

Well, Jen is no top-player and Slam contender anymore, just like Lindsay.

Yes that would explain why both of them are ranked well inside the top 10 and have been for a significant amount of time. Oh and that would explain why Lindsay is ranked just inside the top 5. That would ALSO explain why Lindsay nearly reached the final at this years Wimbledon.

The emphasis is on nearly.

 

[Andrew.]

Again, TANK.

 

[thelittlestelf]

NEARLY getting to the final of Wimbledon would in my opinion make one a grand slam contender.

 

[GoDominique]

Not if you tank the 3rd set of that semifinal.
