Hingis had more than just about anyone. I've heard Wozniacki described as a backboard, but she hit some innocent-looking shots right to Kuznetsova that Svetlana bricked twelve feet out. Makes me think she must be somewhat clever about spin.

Hingis had more talent in her little-toe than this girl. (imho). And no similarity apart from ... the teeth, maybe. Hingis was all about angles and placement. Wosniacki is just a bloody wall - sends the ball back again and again until the opponent gets frustrated. I find her unwatchable, ... from a tennis point of view that is. Nice pic.

Should note that Wozniacki

Should note that Wozniacki has suffered her share of injuries, including 1 of her 4 losses to the Williams sisters. It's a pretty grueling sport overall, even though doesn't involve helmets or hardballs. Klijsters is 7 years older, Serena Williams 9 years, Venus 10 years - it's not surprising that these older players might be retiring or coming out of retirement, nor that they might have the experience and skill on the court still to overcome a 20-year-old.

Anyway, imagine Wozniacki might have her first Grand Slam shortly (2 matches before her 21st birthday, one just after)

Not very funny. A bit sad, actually, with as hard as these athletes work.

BTW, "Since her WTA debut in 2005, she has improved her year-end ranking each year until finishing on top in 2010. She has won twelve WTA singles titles, three in 2008, three in 2009 and six in 2010, which is the most since Justine Henin in 2007". Yes, hasn't won a Grand Slam title. Yet.

Of course she's only 20 years old. Serena Williams only won one Grand Slam Title before getting her 2nd at 21. Venus Williams got her first at 20.

Anyway, a failed blog post. Perhaps Bahrain would have been an easier subject.

I like the first picture
