Do you think we're going to witness a Russian world no.1 player in the next decade? There're so many up-and-coming Russian girls in the top 100 and they all seem to be improving at such a rate. But I have been wondering about this for a while already. Don't think those Russian young girls are bit overrated? What about all the hype about Petrova? I have never seen her play but just because she took out Venus on the dirty, all of a sudden everyone started rating her so highly. Look at her recent results in the U.S. Three early round losses? Is she in a slump or what? All those Russian girls seem so full of ups and downs and I don't think any of them is consistent enough to make it to the top.
Anyways, here's the poll about if there will be a Russian world no.1 in the future.

Well possible, thinking about Sharapova.

 

[tennisjam]

yeah...Sharapova if she continues like she started...

 

[Vincent]

Highly possible, but at the moment, those upcoming russian stars are quite inconsistent, they should keep their form and finally raise to the no.1.

 

[Gowza]

sharapova, maybe safina or bovina. but bovina is a bit old and i'm not sure if safina quite has what it takes to be #1.

 

[Gowza]

and douchevina has been very highly regarded. she apparently has more talent than kuznetsova and zvonareva and zvonareva is top 20 edging her way into the top 15.

 

[KV]

Just hope we'll have the ranking of old back. Douchevina would have been top 100 ranked. Like Masha S. top 30 ranked etc.

 

[Beat]

petrova def. jennifer at the FO, not venus.

 

[Gowza]

zvonareva was the one that beat venus
