jankovic

sharapova

serena

my top 3 dark horses

safina

dementieva

zvonareva

Answer 1

I completely agree with your choices, I have almost a similar thing in mind.

My top three favorites would be Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and Jelena Jankovic. So far, only these three girls did well on the clay court season this year. Serena won Charleston, Maria took Amelia Island, and most recently, Jelena Jankovic successfully defended her Rome title. I would say Ana Ivanovic, but she didn't really have a good clay court results, losing to a qualifier and unable to defend her title at Berlin.

One of the biggest threats (dark horses) at Roland Garros would be Elena Dementieva, Alize Cornet, and of course the new giant-killer Dinara Safina. Alize Cornet, who did so impressive at the clay court season this year, jumped out of nowhere at Amelia Island and again at Rome by reaching the finals after beating big names like Svetlana Kuznetsova and Anna Chakvetadze. I guess I don't need to say anything about Dinara after defeating retired and former World No.1 Justine Henin, Serena Williams, and Elena Dementieva and taking her first ever Tier I title at Berlin.

My top 3 dark horses

1. Alize Cornet

2. Elena Dementieva

3. Vera Zvonareva

I must be the only person who answered this question so far that thinks Sharapova definitely wont win it, she'll probably do well, quarters or semis depending on the draw but she needed 3 sets to win the 3 matches she had in Rome against lesser opponents than she'll face in the latter stages of this tournament. I think Serena is rightly the favorite with the form she's been in this year, and has proved she can master clay by winning this tournament before. Safina is a big danger on the form she showed in Berlin, she was simply too strong and consistant for Serena when they met in the quarters, but she's never made it passed the quarters of a Slam before and she could bottle it in the semis or final if she got there. Jankovic is great on clay, no player other than Justine Henin could beat her on clay last year, in Warsaw, Berlin and the French she lost to her and she won in Rome where Henin wasn't playing so without Henin this year and coming off the back of defending her title in Rome she has to have a good chance, as long as she doesn't meet Ana Ivanovic who she has a very bad record against.

Answer 15

top 3- maria sharapova... serena williams... jelena jankovic (maybe venus williams as well)

top 3 dark horser- elena dementieva... dinara safina... vera zvonareva

Answer 16

oh i agree with you completely. i think ivanovic has a chance because she always do well in grand slams even though she has bad results on the previews tournaments...
