I really can't remember. Was it Likhovseva?

The Russian players all have so much talent, but none of them seem able to win consistently. It's just very depressing and frustrating to watch.

C'mon Anna, Elenas L & D, Lina!

I think it was Myskina when she won Palermo in 1999 but I'm not sure....

7 or 8 finals lost since then..Overall 0 for 3 in Grandslams, 0 for 11 for Tier Is and Olympics, 0 for 4 in Fed Cups finals.

We will win something in 2002, i'm pretty sure.

I was sure for many-many years, and we still didn't. Why do we win so many Challengers and Juniors, but when it comes to pro level, we are no good? Why do we make so many finals and can't win any of them?

Nadia will win one soon!!! <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Me wonders why too??? <img src="graemlins/sad.gif" border="0" alt="[Sad]" /> <img src="graemlins/sad.gif" border="0" alt="[Sad]" /> <br />Winning the 1st title is so important in that it prepares them to handle future difficult situations and make them gain valuable experience...

But seems that they just can't get past the 1st hurdle. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Let's wait and see how they can learn and come back from this disappointment in 2002.

It starts to remind me women's figure skating where our girls were always second, and never first..
