this thread is for discussion and talk about JELENA JANKOVIC

i somehow like her and ana alike. she has such a positive attitude and always smiles, on and off court...although it sometimes makes me wonder if it affects her game in a bad way, as we could see that she tends to lose matches which already seemed won by her

oh, well, some stats:

Residence Bradenton, Florida
Date of Birth February 28, 1985
Birthplace Belgrade, Serbia
Height 5'9 1/2'' (1.77 m)
Weight 130 lbs. (59 kg)
Plays Right-handed (two-handed backhand)
Status Pro (2000)

WTA titles: 5 ; YTD: 4

she's the n° 3 of the world and n° 2 in the race to the championships
she's also teh best serbian female player followed by ana ivanovic

here's a nice description of her i found on wikipedia:

Janković is known for her amicable temperament on court, and is often called the "Smiling Serb". At Wimbledon 2007, in a mixed doubles match at the semi-final stage she invited a ballboy to come and sit with her and began asking him questions, much to the crowds amusement. Though the boy was clearly enjoying himself, he swiftly jumped out of the chair when a riled Jamie Murray returned from his toilet break. The British press have linked Janković and Murray romantically but she has remained coy their relationship; despite using kisses as a way of motivating the lovestricken Scot.

for me, she is the second best player behind justine henin at the moment. going on like that she possibly could catch maria sharapova's place in the world ranking

yeah i do like her myself ,but she sometimes needs to think before speaking lol but arent we all guilty of opening our mouths when best left closed sometimes !!

i didnt like Jankovic earlier... i remember times she played such bad tennis uff...
and i remember how myskina complained that JJ is such player who cares more about looks on courts than about the game itself :lol:
but things changed as we all know and i hope she'll win a GrandSlam Winning the Us Open would be too early and too hard i guess, considering that fear-opponent Ana Ivanovic might wait in the 1/4s
