2008 Sydney QF:N.Vaidisova-J.Jankovic Highlights

[rRunner266]

This is what women tennis needs. (furthermore an Ana Ivanovic in shape :P)

[Nuxice]

I so miss this Jankovic. Sad.

[JamieOwen03]

one of the match ups that never happened, but i was desperate for it to is nicole vs maria and the us open 2007 they were set up for a R4 meeting and what happened? both lose in R3 lol.

[KFactor93]

The Jankovic of 2008 is so much more aggressive than the current incarnation, it's pleasant to watch. I really couldn't see the current Jankovic playing the point at 0:36 , let alone coming into net.

[petunia0809]

@KFactor93 she's playing much more defensive now.

[jankovictennis]

love Nicole, apparently she is coming back in feb!

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

I miss Vaidisova, and I was never a fan

[sealboysmells45]

i still dont understand why people put double faults into HIGHlight reels. not really a highlight

[Merseykmight]

@sealboysmells45 because those are break points or I wouldn't put them im highlights

[lacheyrulez]

@Merseykmight

so its not a highlight, they may as well put the entire match up then because people hit balls out and to the bottom on net of game/break points

[forcemajeur08]

Vaidisova. Very talented but doesn't have the edge in terms of mental toughness. Shame.

[rRunner266]

A hugh miss for the tennis world = Vaidisova. I hope she comes back soon!

[falks941]

how the hell did jankovic win a point against this girl?! amazing match! i really wish nicole hadn't retired, she was such a talent, and she could've been even better than this in years to come if she'd carried on. she would've been future top 5 at the VERY LEAST if she'd continued to play.

[slutfacedh0ebag]

Azarenka and Rezai WISH they could bash the ball as well as Vaidisova did.

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

What an excellent match!!

[KFactor93]

Jankovic looks so, so, so much faster here than she was all 2009 season, and how she's been all 2010.

[valtrus]

Amazing the Nicole will forfeit a promising tennis career just to get married. Hope that she doesn't regret this decisions in the coming years, although she is still relatively young, can return to the Tour and still have more than decent success. She has a lot of talent, as evidenced in this video. What a waste of talent and a potentially successful career, if she never returns to the Tour. Yet, wish her all success in her life, regardless.

[arthurspooner60]

oh the good old days. come back soon, nicole :S

[portfaz18]

she retires from tennis going to marry with radek stepanek.

[arthurspooner60]

@portfaz18 ... yes i know that. that's why i'm asking her to come back :P

[fjaoaoaoao]

jj's anticipation at 01:14 :D

[fjaoaoaoao]

jankovic has great hands and great anticipation :D

[NoMoreMrNiceGuyBitch]

Sadly Nicole has retired :(

[abt74]

Please come back Nicole!!

She obviously has the game, top 20 easy.

[JonnySV]

She might have had the power, but if you look at the top 20 right now, all but Sharapova have great movement. Vaidisova might have better movement than Masha, but her point construction and mental game are abysmal to be perfectly honest. Nice girl, like to see some anger on the WTA tour, but idk if we'll see too much from her in the future.

[slutfacedh0ebag]

jankovic has great hands

[RafaelJankovic]

WOW!! jankovic really shouldve seen those drop shots and drop volleys coming, i mean come on... Vaidisova used it every time she had a short ball/volley on her backhand.

[petronije1001]

Lova JJ.......too bad for Vaidisova :(

[milot1masha]

Its so sad to see Vaidisova ranked so low when I know she can be much better than that..she is way more better than Wozniacki,Azarenka in the top 10..and the main thing Vaidisova isn't a pusher she goes for her shots and doesn't depend her game just by winning points during the errors of the opponents..

[Mathiu36]

02:23.

[RafaelJankovic]

lol, she is not good at the formal apologies liek other players... that was a "step off bitch!!" lol jk

[orbitalwarrior]

Vaidisova will be back sooner or later. She was such a talent! her strokes are so fluent, flat, and very precise. And she has got some sweet touch. This shows that the mental aspect is so important in tennis. She just has to believe, work hard, and think "i've got nothing to loose". She's a lot better than azarenka for example. She deserves to be in the top 10, at least, if not top 5.

[danieln1]

Vaidisova is too talented to be ranked this low... and she should have won this match much more easily, because she´s much better than jankovic

[ilikeatingcats]

Vaidisova's forehand is beautiful

[bjorncerovsek]

@ilikeatingcats

it just goes... and goes... she really has good feel with it, too.

[petunia0809]

@ilikeatingcats very fluent... and smooth ^^

[wozniacki15]

it's sad watching this as this was the final good moments in vaidisova's career before she fell off later in the year, hope she can get herself together, i really do. for her to be so good and be ranked 145, is really unsettling to me.

[SunderedPrey08]

I really love Jankovic's backhand.

[wozniacki15]

me too, she can disguise better than anyone, hopefully she can win cincinnati today.

[SunderedPrey08]

She did. It was a little sad for me though because I love Safina, even though I think I'm the only one who does.

[wozniacki15]

what are you talkin about i was talkin about vaidisova not safina.

[MusicaDeLaVida]

i love safina too!! she is such an amazing player!!

[kingjoshy93]

NO, safina = massive choker & the worst #1 ever

[oneilljus]

wish nicole still played like this :(

[xaniimax]

nicole is ranked 67!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kennethfraipont]

uhh ... no ;)

147 Vaidisova, Nicole she's the number 147 now :)

[kennethfraipont]

And ...She lost again 6-1 6-1 :s Against Y. Wickmayer Nr 55 :(

[falks941]

@kennethfraipont yeah but wickmayer is a fantastic player now.

[kennethfraipont]

@falks941 I know , but lost 6-1 6-1 is very dissapointing ,i'm a belgium so; i followwed wickmayer from the beginning , she's a wonderful girl

[allrounder85]

shes just lost the 1st set 6-1 :( her demise has been so quick from someone who used to regularly make slam QF's to someone now who loses 6-1 6-2 to the world no.585

[lostintranslation901]

God, what happened to Vaidisova? What is she ranked now, 140?

[kennethfraipont]

149 :( she will now play in LA against young Belgian talent Yanina Wickmayer number 55

[lostintranslation901]

Did she have to qualify?

[kennethfraipont]

i don't think so

[hawaiian2991]

Great match

[kevkid14]

this was like Nicole's last good match. What happened.

[sheremeti]

Great Match From Vaidisova..And I am still waiting to see it on HQ..Nice JOB..
