I think you'll find Seles has 9 to her name (and probably would've reached late-teens in GS wins if she wasn't tragically robbed of 3 years in the midst of a glittering career).

Henin has 5 - gunning for 6th mikesiva.

Go Jankovic/Ivanovic. Games needs someone who is 'genuinely' nice to come through. Lets have a smiley-final !?. ;o>

"No woman in the open era has as many grand slam trophies as Serena in their cabinet."
--------------------------------------------

18 Grand Slam singles titles for Navratilova.
22 Grand Slam singles titles for Graf.

cloudxx, Serena has won only 8. what on earth are you talking about?

------------------------
Not to mention Chris Evert....

"I am really surprised more opponents don't complain about Sharapova's grunting".
A bit difficult: most of them do.
If she plays as she did against Serena, Justine will win the trophy. I think the other finalist will be Masha, although she has been a bit low as of late, but she is increasingly getting into it.
Both semis and the final of course will be very beautiful to watch. Not to be missed!

ONLY 8, i think you will find 8 is quite alot of slams in this current era. Obviously 22 is more impressive but 8 is quite alot. Well done to Henin for beating Serena in straight sets. Henin played well, Serena didn't play her game at all. Deep down i knew Serena wouldn't win, i was just hoping she would. I want Jankovic to win RG now, shes played very well during the clay court season.

I believe Serena wasnt making excuses about her loss to Henin, the fact is that Serena did not play well during the match. Yes, Henin is of course an amazing player, however when Serena is playing at her best, there is absolutely no one who can beat, including Henin. Serena was far from her best in this latest match.

dear twinbeyond, you should ask yourself: 'why' ?

Once you get the answer, you will undersatnd why Serena lost.

As in many other sports, you play badly because your opponent makes you so.
Once again we saw it yesterday. Not easy to see, but if you take time and analyses, it becomes obvious.

Methinks it's going to be a Sharapova v Henin final, and in a shock repeat of Maria's maiden GS at Wimbledon over Serena, she might just pull off a win, denying Justine a hat-trick of back-to-back titles.

I was surprised that sharapova made it to the semis. she was lucky to have a comfortable draw. i dont think at all sharapova is a favourite against ivanovic. ana is in very good form. she is very powerful and if she plays her best tennis she will make to the finals.
jankovic vs. henin. it will be another close 3 sets match but henin will prevail again. it seems that jankovic lacks the mental edge against henin. she was 4-0 up in the 3rd set against henin in their last match but she eventually lost. her form and titles boosted her confidence. still, I think henin will be the champ of rg

i think both games could be close or the two serbs getting blown away by nerves. I hope the games are tight as the only great game so far was sharapova v shnyder. I also think maria has done really well to get this far considering her shoulder. Am looking forward to 2 interesting matches.
