Maria, because she is more focused on the sport than outside interests. Anna, for all her talent, never had the mental capacity to win even one tournament at the pro level. She could have built up her confidence by playing the satellite events and Challenger series tournaments (the minor leagues of pro tennis), and winning a few of those, because it is unlikely any player in those events could compete with her. Anna had plenty of potential as a future tennis star. Remember, she was a 16 year old semifinalist at Wimbledon. However, Enrique Iglesias, fat endorsement contracts, not to mention her celebrity status were too much for her. Maria was very close to being the #1 player in the world, and she has won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open already. There is hope she can win the French and Australian Opens in her career. I think Anna is pretty much done as a player. It's obvious\nMaria is the better tennis player. Anna might be the betterlooking of the two since I'm assuming she gets more money than Maria for endorsement contracts, but Maria is very attractive also. The\ndifference is Maria didn't let her life outside of her pro tennis career distract her to the point where it adversely affected her \nresults, Anna did.

I think so too ! Justine will win . I dislike Sharapova cuz of her arrogance, disrespect to other players, self centered ,mean & only for money & fame, especially when she told the press, " show me the money ".

I do agree with u ! I think most of them will move up, except the Russian girls. Sharapova will drop 4 to 6 places & by next year, no one will even remember her cuz she will be out of tennis or in the 20 to 30s rank.

Williams sisters accused of breach of contract in lawsuit\n\nBy BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer\nNovember 17, 2006\n\nWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams reneged on a deal to play in a 2001 "Battle of the Sexes" match, costing the promoters millions of dollars, an attorney claimed Friday during opening statements in a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the sisters and their father. \n\n"This case is about the sanctity of a contract, a case about men and women giving their word," said John Romano, attorney for promoters Carol Clarke and Keith Rhodes, who are suing the sisters and their father, Richard Williams, for alleged breach of contract. \n\nClarke and Rhodes, owners of a company called CCKR, allege that Richard Williams committed his daughters to play in the match and that they reneged on the deal. The promoters had not yet secured agreements from any men's stars, Romano said. The promoters are seeking unspecified damages. \n\nThe Williams sisters claim their father could not make such a commitment because he did not have the authority to enter into the deal. \n\n"Not one time, not one document will you see where Venus Williams signed any agreement, signed any note, signed any letter, obligating her to participate in a battle of the sexes," the sisters' attorney, F. Malcolm Cunningham, told jurors. \n\n"Similarly, Serena Williams did not sign anything," Cunningham added. "The case begins and ends there." \n\nA first trial in the case ended in a mistrial in December after more than two weeks of testimony. This second trial, before Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jeffrey A. Winicoff, is expected to last five weeks. \n\nThe sisters were present in the courtroom Friday, sitting at a table with two silver laptop computers in front of them. Their father also was present.

Sania Mirza, of late has been paying lot more attention to her looks than her playing standard. At this rate, she might turn out to be the 'Indian Anna Kournikova' !\n\nConsidering all the factors (like commitment, attitude, court presence, results achieved, etc.), I feel Leander Paes is the most attractive tennis player India has produced so far. Mahesh Bhupati is very close to Paes.\n\nVijay Amritraj was really charming and had lots of talent but he could not produce results in proportion to his potential.

You know, every country goes through a period of rebuilding once their champion players retire or begin to wind down. It's not fair to expect to produce champions at every turn. We in Oz have never had the pleasure that others have had with multiple champions or choices of them. We have produced some great players though, some of the best, just not all at the same time. Just be grateful that no matter where the players herald from that we still get to see fantastic tennis. I know what you are saying in relation to representative tennis. Sadly a lot of players do put their personal careers ahead of country. Although I personally find that a little sad ( as none seem to mind the chance at Olympic Gold) They have the right I guess to limit their matches and games if it's the Grand Slams that they have their eyes on. We tend to have unrealistic expectations of our players. Maybe it's just that other players are finding form or new players making their mark. I'm sure they are trying. They wouldn't want their fans to be disappointed in them.

While Sharapova is a terrific player in her own right.  The truth is that the top ITF junior boys hit with a lot more spin and pace off the ground, have bigger serves, and cover more court more effeciently with their foot speed.  This is to take nothing away from Sharapova, because she is a world class player.  If Sharapova played some of her best tennis she might be able to compete at that level, but it would be some tough tennis.

Federer seems like a pretty good bet. He's won the last three and he looks like he's adjusting to grass well this year.\nOn the women's side there's not really a clear favorite but Sharapova's got a decent chance. Maybe Mauresmo too.
