We could eliminate the tired problem from the men in grand slams by having them play a best 2 out of 3 sets rather than a best 3 out of 5 sets.  |

"With the way I played, you know, the whole tournament, it's good for me that I even got the quarterfinals because I haven't been at my best and I'm a little bit tired.
My game has a little bit gone down. It's not where it used to be, especially in the beginning of the year, because maybe I played a lot of matches and my body's getting tired."
-- J. Jankovic

I'd be in favour of moving to best of 3. And Sveta is thumbing her nose at tradition by not being  . |

Jankovic It seems like Jankovic now realizes she can't play 30 tournaments a year and get away with it as an elite tennis player. Jelena has played tired looking tennis since Wimbledon. |

" tired. At my height, I have to adjust. Like when I had that love-40 game, I have a short ball my arms are long I have to adjust. I'm just trying to push and tell myself to fight, push, push, push. Just regroup every point and try to push through it."
-- V. Williams

All players have to adjust and move their feet to properly hit the ball, Weenus.

Q. It seems that today you are trying to be more aggressive and shortcut the rallies, means to put more in each balls, in each shot. Is it true?
JUSTINE HENIN: Well, I was pretty tired. Yesterday was tough. I really slept only four, five hours, so I was pretty tired today. And I knew I had to be aggressive and just push myself, be really intense. I was a bit scared before the match that I would be tired, not being aggressive enough. So I pushed myself on every point. I just kept the intensity all the time, and I was there in the rallies. I didn't give her a lot of free points. I didn't serve my best today, but I've been so consistent in my game, so that made a big difference.
