I was also thinking along the same lines. She must realise that if she had served the match out, she would probably be holding the trophy tonight.
Anika Kapros must thinking that she and Kim lost a simiar no. games to Justine She too could have been a finalist. Do players look at possibe scenarios?
Venus must be convinced that if Kim had converted those matchpoints against serena at the AO, she would have won another slam.

You certainly are entitled to your opinion with regards to the thread. But how is this disrespectful to Kim?

Thanks for this comment. All I meant is that Anika equalled Kim in the first set. If the no.1 can get 5 games off Juju then a player lke Anika should have been bagelled. Anika has beaten Juju before, she has beaten a two time GS winner.
Vera has beaten Venus a four time GS winner, Don't you think to inspire herself Vera would look at her victory and think, if could beat Venus then surely I can go all the way. She has battled with one of the best and come out on top. Any of the lower ranked player who has ever beaten a GS winner and no.1 can have the same confidence.
