You know he's bringing her down. Let's face it, his career's washed out. He's going down.irma said:I am not going to drop my fav because of childish decisions and I don't want to blame hewee either
I don't think they will boycott the international media. Only the Belgian media who criticize them

It's a bitch being at the top of the rankings, ain't it.
When you receive a lot of critics, it means that you're a topplayer...As an answer to the question why Kim is constantly losing from Justine now and if we don't have to employ a psychologist (another stupid thing) I have to say this: Don't you see Justine has gained a lot of power, has become stronger and thus serves much better and is -because of that- the logical winner? It doesn't seem like a controversial statement to me. Justine and her team have worked very very hard the past year and so, if you win, it's because of all the effort. If she keeps on training and playing like that, she will keep on winning from Kim and all the rest.

Actually It was more WS fans versus Justine Fans. I don't see too many WS fans who have a problem with Kimmie.
Now its Justine Fans Vs Kim Fans and its hysterical because who didnt see this coming?
illegal drug innuendo
accusations of cheating
accusations of faking
Its high drama! Justine fans sure are paranoid aren't they? The media will now focus like a magnifying glass on the top two players in the world.
I don't think we are the ones that are paranoid, dear! :lol:Cybelle Darkholme said:
Hahaha....that´s a crap comment. I still think that Kim´s stronger than Justine. IMO Kim´s tighs alone have to weight more than Justine, so the stronger thing doesn´t work.CC said:As an answer to the question why Kim is constantly losing from Justine now and if we don't have to employ a psychologist (another stupid thing) I have to say this: Don't you see Justine has gained a lot of power, has become stronger and thus serves much better and is -because of that- the logical winner?

The stronger thing didn´t work against Serena at Wimbledon, it only works on slow surfaces. The real problem for Kim is that she´s the female Henman. " I have everything already, Mommy is there, Daddy´s there...why should I be fighting?!" Whereas Justine´s over my body mentality needed to win slams.
hmmmmm I'm totally uninterested in what the media thinks of Lei but i understand he didn't come straight out and say she was using drugsFingon said:
i think its weird Henin has grown so much so shortly.....but i think its inspiring. you dont see behind the scenes as a fan, but i guess she's worked hard. thats good. shes at the top of the game, people are gonna hate. there's no getting away from it.
it's the way certain people deal with it that amazes me. i think Henin fans are caring too much about what he meant or didn't mean
i also think Kim is getting a lot of criticism that she doesn't deserve. personally i cant stand it when people say they hate the sisters because of Richard, Kim because of Lei, and Justine because of Carlos and his comments.
like i said before, the player's can't control them
they are just gonna come out and say whatever in the hell they want to anywayz. if you're gonna dog a player, at least make it a good reason like because they kick your faves ass
Yes it is. Everybody calls him Lei here in Belgium. So youre not ignaorant @ allSJW said:

C. Rodriguez and P. Etcheberry are sick of the doping insinuations and reveal Justine's trainingprogram.
The secret of Florida...
period
Six weeks in november-december 2002, every day. Throughout the season her physical condition is maintained by sessions of 45 minutes a day.
plan for the day
In the morning: one hour of physical training, one and a half hour of tennistraining
In the afternoon: idem
physical training
Endurance: 15 x 200m each time with a pauze of 45 seconds, on 85% of her maximumcapacity. Interval: 6x20m, 5x50m, 4x100m, 2x400m
Stomach and backmuscles: Streching forwards and backwards with a powerball (2kg) between feet or legs,4 times a week. Bouncing a powerball against a wall and catching it sitting, leaning backwards
Legmuscles: Sprinting and tennissing (without tennisball) with an elastic band around the waist; jumping on and off a bench (series of 8)
Progression
Before training with Pat Etcheberry:
200m: 41 seconds
400m: 1min30
bench: knee-height
Now:
200m: 35 seconds
400m:1min16
bench: hip-height
secret
The intensity. Variating different musclegroups for one hour without a break. exemple: While legmuscles are resting, stomachmuscles are being trained
growmargin
next year: 30-40% !!!
of course you are right, Venus and Serena couldn't be blamed for what Richard said (although in retorspective, what Richard said doesn't sound that bad now), or Justine for what Carlos said or Kim for what LeiSJW said:hmmmmm I'm totally uninterested in what the media thinks of Lei but i understand he didn't come straight out and say she was using drugs

said.But they are not totally inocent, Kim and Justine. (and notice I am saying that about my fave as well).
For example, when Justine said that stuff about Lindsay in Zurich, it wasn't her coach, it was her.
And Kim? all the trash she talked in San Diego? that' wasn't Lei, and when she kept contradicting herself in Toronto? (I am tired/I am not tired, I play too much/ I don't play too much) then Kim is not the sweetheart everyone pretends her to be.
We have discussed this already but when Kim lost to Lina, she did sign autograph on the court, where the tv cameras where, but I was outside and there is where the fans really expect players to sign, and she just walked through ignoring little kids beggins her for an autograph, and with a real angry face. It's ok but that's not the behaviour of a sweetheart.
That's the problem, Kim has been pictured so much as a sweetie that she believes it, and for her to keep that image is more important than everything else, and I think Kim tried to unfairly use her "image" to get the media against Justine, I think she knew what she was doing/saying in San Diego, so she isn't an angel, neither is Justine but at least she doesn't pretend to be one.
In fact, the whole Kim's story has made me appreciate Serena more, I might not like what she says but with her, you get what you see, not a fake personality, I prefer somene honest even if I don't like their personality, because someone like that is someone you can trust, I don't think you can trust someone like Kim.
