ys: how can you say a player winning TWO slams in a row is a fluke?<br />That is the most idiodic thing I have EVER heard. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about tennis, should know that you can't fluke two slams! (or any slam for that matter..anyone who wins a slam deserves full credit for it).<br />The two players who were picked as faves going into the French Open, were simple not good enough to win it this year. Jenn was. She beat Serena, who on any surface is one of the top 5 players. And spare me the garbage about how Serena wasn't prepared...she routinely isn't prepared (in the traditional sense) and still wins! <br />Hingis on clay, is one of the top 3 players on clay. She has been to the French Open final twice, and in the semis a couple times to boot. Beating her on clay at Rolang Garros is something that a select few lay claim to: Mary Pierce, Iva Majoli, Steffi Graf...all eventually winners! And Monica, a 3 time winner, one of the beat EVER on clay. Do don't try to make it sound like beating Hingis on clay was an easy draw!
Back to Oz.... Jenn had a forgettable start of the year in the tune ups, and nearly got upset in the first round by Nagyova (spelling?). Then she quietly made her way through the draw, where she ran into long time nemisis Monica Seles and beat her in a slam for the first time EVER. Then she runs into Davenport, who had been playing well by they way, and was the defending champion...straight sets. Then she players Hingis, who is in her fifth straight final and KNOWS how to play on the rebound ace. You mean to tell me that was easy?
Ys.... suggesting her slams were flukes is almost as idiotic as the people who suggest that all 5 of Hingis' are <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . It also shows a complete lack of understanding for the womens game.
Jenn has accomplished more this year, than you ever will in your life, so why don't you get over youself already?
