Serena Williams Vs. Jelena Jankovic 2007 8/8

Jelena is the best:)

i love both players they was going at it the whole match and i love watchin them shake hands they have great respect for each other and its always a friendly handshake and jj always seem to put a smile on even when she lost a great sport!

31 shot rally? looked more like 23.

NICE discovery......kudos.

4:00 thru 4:15. . . I love it!!!!!

lol I agree with you for a change...and even if Serena wasn't playing better than Sharapova, she still would have been in Sharapova's head, and thus would have grabbed the W anyway.

I beg to differ. I thought she was playing better than even Sharapova until that point. If she had met Maria in the semis in that form, we all know how that match would have turned out.

The 2008 quarter between Serena and Jankovic WAS very painful and odd as well. In my opinion, Serena had been playing the best tennis up to that point behind Sharapova and it was very odd how her form just took a major nosedive. And as we all know, against Jankovic you can't take a nosedive. But, Serena has since won Bangalore and Miami (beating Jankovic in the final) and let's hope that good form continues on!

I can't bring myself to watch the 2008 rematch as I like Serena and I hate watching her lose in a grand slam and thanks to a truck load of unforced error.

I just watched that handshake...it wasn't too bad lol...she even said "good job" or something...it's also harder to be so gracious when you lose on your own error...and it's not like Jelena was playing a great match...they both played horribly, with Jelena playing just a little better...remember Serena's loss to Justine at the French last year?...that's as gracious in a loss to Justine as she's ever been, because not only was Serena not playing her best, but Justine was pretty much playing hers.

Great match for Serena, no doubt that she deserved this win in light of how well she played. But I also admire Jankovic, especially her courtesy at the net, towards the end. On the other hand Serena should adopt that mentality as well when she outplayed. Her handshake at the 2008 AO when Jankovic won was icy. Just a point

AMEN!

I like jelena more than ana. . do they have this years aussie open of her vs. paszek!!?? that was intense. . .so proud of serena here though, I dont think anyone can come into a grandslam unprepared and win the damn thing. . only the williams sisters!!

CHEERS MATE!!!....:)
