You’ve got to be kidding me ! Queen of what? I’m so sick of Justine, and she’s only played two tournaments! Serena and Venus are the best in the world! Get over your racist views!

Love the article.
Just saw the Justine vs. Kim final and am so happy to be able to watch Justine play again. Her elegant and smart game was sorely missed. Very sad the good old days of matches between Justine and Amélie are over but at least one side of the court will be interesting to watch again.

@kannan: “It ought to be framed and put up in the Louvre along with all the other classics.”

I totally agree with ur assessment of the game today, the ugly monotony of the two fisted shovel has made tennis so unwatchable. It would be great to watch the variation and subtleties of the single fisted backhand and Justine is simply the best, pound for pound the best single fisted backhand i have ever had the privelge of watching in tennis. It ought to be framed and put up in the Louvre along with all the other classics. Welcome back Justine.

A little correction:
“To get the audience to come at smaller events the tour needs stars”

Bill & JT I think you are right on with your comment about “sporadic dominance” of Serena. Her major-only approach to the tour is a good tactic to earn enough points to earn a good ranking and keep the sponsors happy. On the other hand, it does make her less credible as a top competitor. When I was watching her play at smaller events sometimes I doubted if this was the same player… I value Justine because she has always been the truly committed to the game and made fans believe it is not only grand slams which matter. The tour cannot survive only on slam tournaments, they also need to get the audience for smaller events. To the tour needs stars. But when your stars are not too keen to raise their game at other than big events…well, you need a new star.

Nice article, I appreciated the comment about Serena’s sporadic dominance. I can’t stand that about her. She’s trying to break into acting which I find repulsive. I’d like to see her drop out of the top 5 while failing to win a major in 2010. Her “Randy Moss” inspired approach to the game hurts the SE tour.
