The ranking system is not 'stupid', it is a legitimate systematic mechanism but perhaps it is best like the entirety of the global tennis community to acknowledge each player's individual strengths and weaknesses and to not manipulate the facts via only presenting or (implying) once case. and hence you question Dinara's talent and potential of a championship?

Though the present prospects are disheartening, Fina will emerge from the shadows to and hopefully revive the 'Dawn of Dinara Dominance'. …And she will be if she manages to restore her peak form during the latter half of 2008-nevertheless, she had a quarter of a year to do such and has yet to find the solution to the ultimate realm of gold glory.

I BELIEVED IN HER AND HOPED THAT SHE CAN BE A #1 PLAYER AFTER THIS TOURNAMENT... IVANOVIC'S LOSS DIDN'T SUPRISE ME AT ALL! SHE CAN'T FIND HER GAME(IF SHE EVER HAD IT!) AFTER ROLAND GARROS.

IVANOVIC'S LOSS DIDN'T SUPRISE ME AT ALL! SHE CAN'T FIND HER GAME(IF SHE EVER HAD IT!) AFTER ROLAND GARROS.

But out of the players mentioned, I saw Zvonareva as the most stable at the moment. Good point, streams. But out of the players mentioned, I saw Zvonareva as the most stable at the moment.

ITs not uncommon for them to have a slump after winning one tournament to have a slump in the next. Its pretty tough to keep up top form day after day for weeks on end .. like Rafa says, its rough if you win cos you have to keep playing! Hope Dinara and Jelena can get happy again soon! They look so sad! Don't really agree that Zvonerava going out was a big surprise. ITs not uncommon for them to have a slump after winning one tournament to have a slump in the next.

Inconsistency is no longer acceptable for a champion with such a calibre; with a ranking of World. No.2, it is only logical and reasonable for fans on an international stage to expect at least the semi-finals from such players and their respective rankings. If Dina continues, she will indeed plunge into a career depression, at WNO, 10-20, this is negligible, but at WO.2. such successive third-round losses are purely shocking. One would think that her monumental successes last year was due to the eradication of such ‘inconsistency’ which hence would render these characteristic ‘excuses’ implausible.

Zuleika, you are being very hard on Dinara, I agree with Carlos, Dinara's always been a very good player, but inconsistent too. It is strange that so many top players exited the tournament so early, but it's not too surprising either when you think it through: Ana's been having problems, not to mention Jelena, Dinara's always inconsistent, Elena exited the Indian Wells early too. Zvonareva is the biggest surprise in the crowd. It's true, the Williams sisters are proving to be the most consistent, and they deserve all the respect for it.
