Ivanovic was defeated by Pironkova in 2nd round of Rome. What do you think?

Question

I think she is overrated on clay. People said she is very good on clay just becase she reached rolland garros final last year. She is not that great on clay actually.

Answer 1

Yeah, i totally agree! She was just lucky to reach the French final last year... she was easily defeated by Henin, 6-1 6-2. That was her 1st match on Rome this season, right? Sadly, that's gonna be the last. Well then, she'll have to find other tourneys that could help her prepare in defending her points in RG (lol). I felt pity for her especially her dying-hard fan, "sportsfan" (this guy might be crying on his bed now).

Answer 2

not completely shocked. ivanovic did not play well last week and she had been out about a month or so prior to the start of the clay season with injury so it could be the reason she was beaten early in both tourney's.

Answer 3

I agree, i like Ivanovic but she definitely isnt that great a player especially on clay. Good luck to her tho for the upcoming tournaments  ! Vamos Rafa x

Answer 4

i think top players cannot win every match they play. Hopefully she does better in the next tourney. She better or she will be loosing points!

Answer 5

she never played Rome since 2005.... it looks like she's not comfortable at Rome and pressure on clay as she came as a top player this year at all tournaments..  last year, no pressured and she just outside the top 10.... and loosing yesterday was not affected her points and rank because she don't have points to defend in Rome..... and maybe she will stay at number 2 after henin retirement.. pressure on defending champion, jankovic and last year runner-up, kuznetsova...

while sharapova will remain top and Serena will be up to the top 5..

Answer 6

yes i agree...

she's not a very good player on clay unlike her performance last year...

if it will continue, until RG.. she will lose 700 points!!!

and by the end of the year... she's at the bottom of the top 10 or out of it!
