After blowing set-point in the first set and failing to serve for the second set and going down a break in the third, Kim rallies and wins 5 games in a row to stay no.1 in the world.

Congrats KIM!!!

Well, congrats Kim. She's the best indoors. Justine is at her worst indoors lately.

I only saw the end of the 2nd and whole the third set. Justine made tons of errors from then on, but Kim played almost flawless.

Justine not yet number one But her time will come. If not next week, then after the Masters or next year.

YAY KIM!

Kim is my fave but I accept the fact that Justine will overtake the #1 ranking soon and they may even swap it back and forth a few times.

Anyone who still thinks that Justine has reached level on hardcourts, just re-watch this match. Still ways to go..

If Kim played like this in the US final she would have won. Justine is not all that on hard courts.

Exactly....odd, how this time she finally found the guts to go for her shots..

bandabou, what a title for this thread.

"the real #1"... I mean, you are a Serena-fan who always says that she is the real #1, this was just a match! Just wait and you'll see Juju becoming #1!

Its also late in the season, and the body and mind cannot continue to perform as well as during the peak times of the season. I think this is a fluke win for Kim.

Sorry folks. I 'm not too fond of Justine either, but until Kim can start beating her between March - September, its just a lucky win.

Erhm...it's as late in the season for Justine AS for Kim. Kim played much more this year than Justine and even played doubles so don't look for childish excuses.

 

[thalle]

She's the real number one. No doubt:woohoo Another Porche for Kim

Finally, the Justine-spell has been broken!

There's not only the ammount you play, it's more about the ammount you can bear! Kim played a lot too the previous year, but she was by far the fittest at the Masters while Justine, Serena & almost the whole rest of the tour were almost burned out ... BTW Justine already played 5 more matches this year than in 2002 (76 to 71).

Interesting how Kim can win the matches for #1 (against Lindsay and now Justine) but not for a major...

Indeed, Kim is the fitter player. If the others are not able to make it a complete season, then Kim proves why she is number one.

 

[alexusjonesfan]

Yeah Kim
Now this is what I call a 'rivalry'! :yeah:

This and the fact that she's great indoors. If the end of the year would have been on clay, who knows what would have happened?

Precisely spending the offseasons running the sand dunes in Adelaide with lleyton pays off fitness wise
