Too fragile! Justine will be the top player of 2008 but I can’t see her dominate the way Federer does. Too fragile!

But there are other very good players, too. I hope no one dominates; I think that is boring I don’t think anyone will totally dominate, not even Henin, and she is, in my opinion, the best player on the tour.

OK, so she lost one match when she shouldn't have...big deal. She isn't a hulk like some other players, but she has style, intelligence and guts. She is also determined to improve. She deserves to dominate. I think Justine’s just going to continue getting better and better. OK, so she lost one match when she shouldn’t have…big deal.

Justine needs Wimbledon or else she'll fall into the same category. As for 2008 I predict more injuries! :-P I agree that Federer is one of the greatest players ever, but if he finishes his career without winning the French Open he’ll be just another Pete Sampras with an asterik at the end which will **** for Feddy.

The current field of players so strong now. Serena was the last great dominate player until 2003. Since then, there hasn't been one clear dominate player. Justine has been the closet to Federer I've seen in a while. And I think she proved it this year (except for that blip at Wimbledon). I agree, Justine will be the most dominate next year, but she's no federer! Nope. The current field of players so strong now. Serena was the last great dominate player until 2003.

Again. However, with Lindsay, Serena, Venus, and possibly Pierce as well, it should be much more competitive. If Sharapova gets her serve together, we have six potential slam champs right there. And who knows what Kuznetsova, Jankovic, Ivanovic, or Chakvetadze have under their sleeves? So, while Henin won't dominate, she will be the most dominant next year I believe.
