i think she can, but how much motivation does she have left? when she is on, it is very hard to stop her.
i hope to see positive signs at AO.

If she stays motivated, I'm sure she will continue on pace, like she has. If she starts losing in big tournaments it will be because she's making players beat her, not because she's throwing it away mentally (like in the past). I do hope that the competition lifts a bit, so we can see more people challenging her though. Having done so much this year though, her expecations will likely be higher. She won't be happy settling for second best - ever - not that she ever was in the first place  |

by way of probability, it's very difficult for serena to have as good a year in 2003. it's pretty hard to better three slams in a calendar year. that said, i hope she doesn't anyway. i hope jennifer kicks her big booty. granted serena is an amazing tennis player. but considering she is only 19/20 and jennifer is 26/27 and their games are so close, it makes you wonder...if they were both 20 and peaking, who will beat whom?? but i hate "what if's". let's just see how things go.  |

I think Serena will be very very vulnarable to defeat at the beginning parts of year, AO. History shows that Serena doesn't perform well at AO, and also when she won Us Open 1999 she went on to los in a shocking lost in the fourth round at Australian Open(it was so shocking that I cried, one of the few timew I cry, especially when watching tennis, lol  ) I just hope both Venus and Serena will bring their best to Austrlaia, uninjured, like at the last AO. I kust think the heat will be too much for Serena this year, and Venus will trive on it. I say Venus wins it by beating Kim in semis, and Serena in finals. Of course, Jennifer and Monica will especially have to say something about that. But I have faith in Serena that she will duplicate her, or even better, her performance on this ear, of course that unfortunately will have Venus at a loss. Oh Venus, please kick some ass in 2003  |

I did nothing wrong on WX. If not for Esther and her incorrect assumptions, that were followed up with a lame cop out, the Andre thread would have been spared of my company! I'm still waiting for somebody to call me a basher, even though I haven't bashed Andre in there. And wouldn't, for that matter. Anyhow, you want to mod this? Why not, nobody posts here I'm still waiting for you to get really greedy and ask me for an Andre forum |

I meant our argument about Serena basically we have a rule that you can bash players on your fanzones-and I don't bother to reply to such posts,cause they can have their fun there if they are afraid to come out and play on General threads and being a moderator for this forum is a part of my master plan to take over this whole board |

Yeah I'll put your name on this forum when I get around to it. I'm too lazy atm.
Yeah, I know that you can bash in fanzones, provided you don't bash a player in their fanzone. But again.. if Esther hadn't piped off with her sweeping generalizations that were obviously an insult to either me, Maly, or... well that about covers the Ferrero fans there, doesn't it? If people want to insult me in a thread that they think that I don't read, and I see it, they will have to deal with my irritating retaliation.
I can't stand people who are all talk but have absolutely no balls to back it up *shudder*

Yeah they like Ferrero, but they don't talk about him much What was with that totally pathetic, weak rib from Esther about his lack of a fan zone on worldcrossing? *yawn* God knows that he has one everywhere else |

let me just say that Andre fans are specific (so are Pete's)...

Post by The Chloe on Apr 4, 2003 2:49:59 GMT -5
Specific how? I'm still waiting for her to come back and back up her remark about Ferrero fans. I mean really... not that I don't talk everyday about how he's the best player in the world, while covering it up by praising Hewitt and Andre despite not liking them, making fun of his bad losses, and being all together critical of him... I mean really, it took a real genius to uncover the "Ferrero is number 1" from all of that. Unless she was talking about Maly, Jena, or Chris, who also clearly scream "Ferrero to win Wimbledon" at every waking hour. Alright. I feel better having gotten that off my chest. My weakness has been discovered, and I will just ahve to deal with it. Here I was thinking that I could hide my subliminal messages in my posts as I was before, but apaprently I can't go on like this anymore  |

now that I'm a moderator here,I can ban you! ;D I've never argued with EK,and I don't know if she's reasonable or not,cause I don't join Dre fans arguments...for Pete and Dre fans (die hard fans) the world and whole tour usually revolve around only those players,and every negative remark can lead to you being stoned same is with Monica/Steffi fans...I originally started posting at cnn back at 98 during FO,so it's gonna be 5 years this spring,and I was posting at Seles fanzone...I grew tired of the fights (you have not seen irrational yet),I think I matured a bit and I moved on and had a campaign to get Safin zone (it was harder than you think at cnn),and basically I rarely posted on other threads than Marat zone,and in the meantime I was alrady a member of WX.WT was created later,and although there are a lot of people from cnn,it's so much better,cause a lot of fans created their own special threads to cherish their players....I must say we have peace at WT,cause a lot of Graf,Seles,Sampras adn Agassi fans don't post there |

I don't get into the Steffi-Monica debate, as I've always found them to be pretty useless. I think that I've added to civil discussions about them both maybe two or three times in my two years as part of an internet tennis community... And I don't have any problem with EK overall, but her comment was completely uncalled for, and instead of admitting that she was wrong, she keeps going on and on about how Ferrero lost to Costa. Which is nice and all, seeing as maybe I've forgotten or something Anyhow... I do things that are uncalled for and act like an asshole sometimes, but if I am able to see my fault, I admit it in the end Sometimes I don't see my fault though ;D |

I was quite aware when I was posting that you would spot my inconsistency I am nothing if not predictable. That said, I need a nap of some sort. You shall likely be long gone upon my return, so have a swell evening. It's Friday, but I have exams on Monday and Tuesday, and it's bloody cold and frozen outside  All of which translates to me having a thrilling evening, I'm sure... |
