Go for Venus……….
She had a tremendous late season surge……….

Aus open would be great for her………
French open maybe next?

Vera came to mind when I first read this post the other day. Sam Sumyk has got her playing well.

But speaking both from the heart and the head, I see my Marion winning a slam before Vera does.

Janky for sure, but what about Wozniacki?!?

I think 2009 will be for Wozniacki what 2004 was for Sharapova. There’s been lots of chatter about her, but this will truly be her breakthrough year. And, she has the perfect game for grass!

I think Elena really had a HUGE chance to win the French and US Open this year. I hope she wins a slam in 2009 before time runs out.

Excellent choices, everyone! Jankovic will certainly have her work cut out for her in 2009, but like many of you, I think she’s up to the challenge.

Jim, Zvonareva definitely has a chance to go deep at a major, especially now that her ranking is high enough to avoid many of the top players until the second week or so.

I am concerned about her mental game, though. I didn’t like what I saw come out during the Doha final when her emotions took over.

The scoreboard clearly showed that the match was not finished, yet once Zvonareva collapsed on court in tears, it was pretty clear that she would not be able to summon the strength to rebound.

If she can just take her game this one step further, it’s not unlikely that we could see her reach the Top 5 in 2009.

I think that Jelena Jankovic has the highest chance of winning one, but I would really like to see Elena win.

Hi Aaress!

If she avoids injury, I think Vera Zvonareva must be in with a chance. 2008 saw her highest ranking and the best tennis of her career thus far. And Olympic Champ, Elena D if she can maintain the form she showed.

I think Jelena Jankovic should finally win a slam.

Jelena Jankovic for sure.
she’ll win atleast one maybe two but she has the ability to win them all.
