Will Daniela ever win a Grand Slam singles title?   Message List

Re: Will Daniela ever win a Grand Slam singles title?


My guess is that Daniela will win a Grand Slam title in singles, it
will probably happen in near future. It depends on many conditions
and circumstances. But Daniela definitely needs to go up with her
game, if she will, than she has a chance - not with what she is
playing now.
Sharapova might become No.1 but I don't expect her dominance in the
same terms as it used to be for Navratilova or Graf. Why? There is a
lot of excellent players out there and Maria is not winning her
matches 6:1, 6:0 even against avarage players, in other words her
game is not far from the others. Her will to win is stronger than
her game. Also, it depends how long Maria is going to play...for
now, it looks for many years, but what will be in two-three years? A
year ago, Justine looked unbeatable with her sensational one-handed
backhand...where is she now??? Let's wait for Roland Garros and
Wimbledon - how the things will turn out...
