I shouldn't have doubted that it was a meltdown after all is Ivanovic. Azarenka seems to be consistent on the tour now a days. I'm thinking she will go deep at RG 09. Maybe there is parity in the women's game and the reason why there are a lot of upsets in tournaments. Besides a meltdown an injury easily could derail a player from a seemly victory.

The last piece of news was that her doctors declared that she would be out from two to twelve weeks. Almost two weeks have passed since then. Nothing new about Zvonareva's state.

I think that Venus will win Rome but I think that Dinara should because it could help her to settle into being world number 1. I want Azarenka to win it though! It really could be anyone in Madrid. Personally I'd love to see Ana win Madrid because she has not won anything so far this year. I wonder if Sharapova will be back for Roland Garros. I still think that it'd be a miracle if she's back in time for Wimbledon. Any news on Vera Zvonareva by the way?

I wouldn't count on Jankovic either. Those you mentioned, especially Dinara and Svetlana, are the best contenders (if things don't change in the meantime).

Although Serena the way she's been playing has given me some doubts. When I mentioned those four players as contenders I meant to say other than Venus and Serena.

Right now I'm thinking that the main contenders have to be Kuznetsova and Safina? Maybe Azarenka or Dementieva? Although these days in the women's game nothing is surprising and if a complete outsider won it wouldn't be a huge shock.

On hard court in the finals at Memphis and now on clay, so far Azarenka is clearly playing on a higher level than the rest of the youngters.

Where? I think that the comparison is simply the product of clumsy writing, nothing else. Don't you agree? But I have to notice Dinara's statement: "I'm practicing and I'm playing great and aggressive and suddenly I come on court and it's completely like 360 degrees, a completely different person playing on the court." Hahahaha :) if you turn 360 degrees you go back into the same place. Zuleika, where are they listed, on the WTA's official website? Where?
