Can Elena Dementieva ever win grandslam?

Elena is a very good tennis player, but sometimes she plays not as good as she can! If she believes in herself more and is more relaxed she can win!!!

Actually there was a woman this past week that did it twice in one game.\n\nMost women are too short to do it.

Bjorn Borg won the French 6 times I think along with his 5 straight Wimbledon titles but the US Open eluded him, losing to Jimmy Connors twice and John McEnroe twice in the finals.  Ivan Lendl won the French 3 times, US Open 3 times, and Australia at least once but he could never take Wimbledon.  I know it wasn't exactly addressing your question but it just letting you know about other top players who had one grand slam leg elude them.

I think she will.  She has talked about retiring , but she may want to do some kind of farewell season.  At least playing the majors if her health holds up.  Lindsey playing hurt and banged up has been going on her whole career. So I predict she will announce that the 2007 US OPEN will be her last event prior to the AUSTRALIAN OPEN.

i think ana ivanovic will most likely be the winner becuase it seems like she is playing better than safina. she has won both of her first and second round matches in straight sets, unlike safina. also she can hit the ball pretty hard when she needs to.

Nina Carberry made history as she was half of the first pair of siblings to ride in the same Grand National - along with her brother Paul, who won on BobbyJo several years ago.\n\nShe is not the highest placed woman rider (she finished 9th on Forest Gunner this year), that honour belongs to Carrie Ford who finished 5th on the same horse in the 2005 Grand National.

i think she definitely can,but it"s all up to her.\nHer talent and come-back strength has never been in doubt,however if she is hungry enough to be called the greatest the sport has everknown. dont rule her out.\nremember when pundits used to doubt whether the Williams sister's had it them?well the rest is history...dont jump into the moldy books of history.

No, but he is among the greatest players of alltime. The fact of\nthe matter is, if he was able to win the US Open a few times,\nhe might not have left the game so early. He could have been\nthe greatest player ever, since the rate he was winning Slams during his peak years was even better than Sampras. His failure to win the US Open, despite four trips to the final, is what ultimately forced him to retire prematurely. If he had won even once in those four trips, I'm guessing he would have hung around the sport longer. Another factor is he didn't like to play so frequently, and the new rules that were coming into play would\nhave forced him to do that to retain his world ranking. Those two\nfactors probably had more to do with anything else for the reasons he didn't retire in his 30s, instead of his mid 20s, when\nmost players are about to hit their prime, or are in their prime.\n   No one has able to achieve the French Open-Wimbledon\ndouble in the same year since Borg did it (1976, 1978,1979,1980). Jim Courier (won 1993 French Open, lost in 1993 Wimbledon final), Rafael Nadal (won 2006 French Open and lost in 2006 Wimbledon final) and Roger Federer (lost 2006 French Open final, and won 2006 Wimbledon final) have come the closest in this regard. Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg also came close. Ivan Lendl won the 1987 French Open but lost in the 1987 Wimbledon final to Pat Cash. Stefan Edberg lost in the 1989 French Open final to Michael Chang and the 1989 Wimbledon final to Boris Becker. Bjorn Borg the French Open six times, but it wasn't in 6 consecutive years (1974, 1976, 1978-1981). Manuel Orantes won the French Open in 1975, while\nGuillermo Vilas won the 1977 French Open men's singles title.\nI think Borg didn't play the French Open in 1975 or 1977, but I'm\nnot sure. He did win Wimbledon five consecutive years (1976-1980), and made the final in 1981. Roger Federer has a chance\nto equal Borg's modern era record in 2007 and has to reach the final in 2008 to equal Borg's mark of 41 consecutive wins at \nWimbledon in the modern era. I forgot about how close John\nMcEnroe came in 1984 to winning the French Open against\nIvan Lendl. He went on to win Wimbledon and the US Open\nthat same season. I think his 1984 season is still one of the greatest seasons in tennis history for a male or female player.

For men, you'd have to say Pete Sampras.  He won Wimbledon 7 times, against relatively tough competition.  For clay, I'd probably pick Borg who won the French Open six times.  Although I'd believe a modern player like Nadal would beat Borg, that has as much to do with modern equipment as anything.  For hard courts, I'll pick Ivan Lendl.  Lendl had perhaps the worst win record of anyone of his talent, but he reached the U.S. Open final from 1982-1989, which is 8 consecutive years in a row, and he won it 3 years in a row.  Had Lendl been just a little tougher mentally, he would be considered the best player ever.\n\nFor doubles, hmm, I'll go with the classic of John McEnroe and Peter Fleming, although there were many very talented doubles teams.  Its popularity has fallen due to a lack of a top singles player.\n\nFor women on grass, I'll pick Martina Navratilova. I know. She won Wimbledon 9 times, and she was a finalist 3 more times.  That's a lot of times to reach the finals.  Steffi Graf won 7 times as a baseliner, but I prefer to see a serve and volleyer on grass, especially considering how few women play this style of tennis anymore.  On clay, Chris Evert was the queen of clay, winning the French Open 7 times and reaching the finals twice more.  Women's hard courts is a close call.  Martina won the US Open on hard court 4 times, but was finalist 4 more times.  Steffi Graf won it 5 times, and was finalist 3 more times.  I'll give the edge to Graf. \n\nFor women's doubles, I'd pick Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.  They're the only doubles player to win the Grand Slam.  They won 109 matches in a row, a record.\n\nIf you had to pick mixed doubles, you'd have to pick Margaret Court who won a mixed Grand Slam in 1963 with Ken Fletcher, then again in 1965, with three different partners (John Newcombe, Ken Fletcher, Fred Stolle).

It's possible, since her comeback is impressive. For that to happen, she needs to improve her fitness and game, or hope there are quite a few upsets in the Slams for her to claw to the final. JHH and Clijsters would present the most formidable obstacles for her in terms of her trying to complete the Career Slam with a French Open title. She plays well in Australia, so that would be her most likely chance to win a Slam. At Wimbledon, she has to contend with  Sharapova, Mauresmo, Henin-\nHardenne, the Williams sisters, and others. I don't fancy her chances there with the fast courts. The US Open could be another tough place for her to win with the competition, the atmosphere, and the surface.

Ginepri is playing well and Sampras has not played a match in a long time. However don't ever underestimate the abilities of Sampras. I mean he has won 14 grand slams. Come on. It could be a good match if Sampras is in shape, otherwise Ginepri is able to win.

she will be in the top 10 again coz i swear she is the most talented player i have ever seen\ni mean how many players can come back after three years and play the way she has so far this year\n\nshe was the whole reason i got into tennis in the first place

NO WAY. \n\nThat title goes to Danica Patrick.

I think it was a bit of a fluke that Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon.   Her competitors have caught on to her one dimensional game.  She's okay looking for a toothpick.  Exactly why does she make all those millions in endorsements?  Lately she hasn't delivered at the grand slams.  Hmmm....is she feeling the pressure from her corporate sponsors?  Arrogant, but she's only 19.  (Or whatever age she is now.)  Proud?  The way she's playing, she's got nothing to be proud of.  Remember Jamea Jackson upset her at Eastborne in the semis.  That's hardly a vote of confidence going into Wimbledon.

Jimmy Connors holds the record for most titles in men's tennis in the modern era.  I believe he has somewhere around 105 tournament titles to his credit.  Pete Sampras holds the record for most grandslam titles with 14 but that was not really the answer to the question you just asked.

I think Nadal has a decent chance to repeat, however there are many good competitors on this surface. I would'nt dismiss the possibility of Federer capturing this title, but he reminds me too much of Sampras, somewhat impatient for an outstanding clay court player. Look out for Nalbaldian, Gaudio, Coria and Davydenko!
