An interesting article looking at the top players' performances in slams.

 

[agrajag]

With the way he plays and his lingering knee issues, Nadal might have a shorter career than Roger. And once Nadal retires there will be no one to stop him, muahahaha.

 

[MIMIC]

Also, Nadal is one match away from completing a DOUBLE grand slam. Fed won't achieve that.

I totally forgot about that. As much as I hate to admit it, that would certainly assist his GOAT argument.

That hasn't been done since Emerson.

 

[d+pad]

Stefi Graf is the real GOAT.

Now this is a line of thinking I can get behind Not only did she win the calendar-year Grand Slam, but she won every GS FOUR times. (Also, she was one game away from winning two calendar-year GSs in a row--unbelievable.) And then, of course, there are the 22 GS titles, the overall titles won, the weeks at number one...

Seriously, it kind of pisses me off that everyone always focuses on the men when it comes to the GOAT conversation. Many of the things accomplished by Graf, Navratilova and Evert likely will never be surpassed. And, yes, that includes Serena, who could *possibly* surpass Graf in terms of GS titles won (I hope not), but that's about it. (She'll never come to close to matching the overall titles won, weeks at number one, etc.)

Much like doubles, the majority of people don't care about women's tennis

 

[Niraj]

Eh, the Seles stabbing inflated her GS numbers. Besides, the real GOAT is Esther Vergeer.

Yup. Anyone who doesn't know who she is should look up her records.

Because men are just waaay better, in every sport. Only WTA player that could play in ATP tournaments is Serena. She will be even GOAT in some years if she keeps playing her level.

In 1 hour guys

#TeamLiNa

 

[Jinto]

Li Na's got this. Don't choke, please.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

So I can't watch the entire tournament so I check who's in the finals....

What the hell happened? Djoko getting beat by Wawrinka, Masha and Williams both out in the quarters. I missed some shit.

 

[lazybones18]

Let's go Li Na!

 

[MIMIC]

I'll say xD

 

[Faith]

I forgot how slow these WTA matches are without Serena...she would destroy both of them.

 

[scarlet]

Boring match so far

Edit: Domi's boyfriend is so handsome

 

[Hige]

Where is the Cibulkova that was obliterating Radwanska?

 

[scarlet]

Nerves I guess, the pressure is high

 

[Jinto]

Li is struggling with her forehand. Sailing everything long. Good thing for her Cibulkova isn't playing very well.

 

[Faith]

1st good point.

 

[MIMIC]

Ugh

 

[scarlet]

2 df from Na, oh Lawd have mercy

 

[Sharp]

I cringed at that double fault.

 

[scarlet]

Cibulkova is getting better against ErrorNa

 

[Faith]

1st serve Ni La: 13%

LOL.

 

[scarlet]

1st serve Ni La: 13%

LOL.

This match is so boring

I need another Henin vs Dementieva AO 2010

 

[Sax Russel]

Come on Li! =X

 

[scarlet]

3 winners from Domi, Li's giving her free points

 

[Faith]

4:4 and 20 unforced errors from Ni La, what the...

 

[PhantomZone]

Boring match so far

Edit: Domi's boyfriend is so handsome

She must be two timing me i'm sitting at home and not at the match :-(

 

[MIMIC]

Li, get your ish together.

 

[Faith]

If Li Na keeps playing like that she will lose her third final here.

 

[Hige]

Apparently Domi's secret to domination is sniffing each tennis ball before serving? Ugh, why do players have so many rituals. I can't stand to watch Rafa because of it.

 

[scarlet]

Tie break gonna be a hell for Na with that amount of UE

 

[brianjones]

error na

that other chick seems arrogant

I can't stand to watch Rafa because of it.

i don't see what the big deal is.. so he picks his ass..

its hardly as annoying as watching sharapove or azaranka

 

[Faith]

Hiuu, hiuu...what's wrong with her nose?

 

[scarlet]

Glorious cc backhand

 

[scarlet]

Yeah! Hold your serve Madame Li

 

[Faith]

[scarlet]

Error Na has been vanquished. Hopefully she doesn't return.
