Monica Seles vs Lindsay Davenport

[fudgeballs0808]

you can tell by the way your opponent is hitting the ball whether it will be a topspin or a slice. if you can't differentiate between the two different strokes, then don't bother playing tennis.

[RuthlessFerocity]

i can play tennis better than you, idiot!

[fudgeballs0808]

ummm ok? i play tennis and im good but ok! WTF !!!!!

[RuthlessFerocity]

Lions roar - 110 decibels

Seles grunt - average 105 decibels

Sharapovas shriek - average 101 decibels

Grunting is a form of cheating. As Navratilova has frequently argued from 1992 until June 2009, grunting prevents your opponent from hearing the sound of ball coming off the racket, which could either be full topspin, flat impact, heavy slice, slight underspins, wicked underspins, etc.

Monica Seles was the first grunter-cheater.

Come on..this is bull shit...Grunting is not a form of cheating, it is just part of the game. A 6 year-old tennis player who grunts doesn't do it to cheat. Some people learned tennis grunting and some others didn't, I guess it is part of the game. Don't blame your losses on the grunting!

Lions roar - 110 decibels

Seles grunt - average 90 decibels

Sharapovas shriek - average 105 decibels RuthlessFerocity, you have your facts all wrong. Seles' grunt was not that loud and its not a form of cheating, its a form of exhaling when striking the ball. The only cheater who grunts todays is Larcher de Brito. I don't care if she claims it is exhaling, it's LOUD for no reason. her shriek is 109 decibles, and a lion's roar is 110. Exposure at 110 or higher a lot makes hearing problems.

Grunting is not cheating, its effort. And, just for record, JIMMY CONNORS was the first grunter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! Way before Monica

[olaraay]

er i think connors and jonny mac had a little shriek going on b4 seles

[Menexpert]

Both big strikers of the ball but neither has great mobility. Nice to see Monica get a win over a big player near the end of her career...

[olaraay]

2001/2002 she beat everybody

Hingis, Davenport, Capriati, Venus and Serena, and Vicario and even a young Sharapova!!!

its a shame those wins were spaced out over a year and not during one tournament to win a slam!

[kljMN2]

This would be their second to last match officially - they played one final time in 2003 in the Tokyo final (after the Australian Open) won by LD in three sets. But, this match is by far my favorite MS/LD match.

[ILOVESELES]

FUCK YOU ASSS HOLE!

[ILOVESELES]

of course, you´re more elegant than me. But your words are a SHITTTTTTT!!!!!!!

[ILOVESELES]

Spanish!!!!????? wonderful only a spanish can be so Vulgar, i dont understand what you said, but im sure that are alot of stupoid things!!!!!!!.......spanish...­. of course, now i understand.

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

Understand what? Everyone is superior to you, even the mongoloid of Seles

[afroditapandemos]

Porque no escibes todas esas ordinarieces en ingles cosa de que Xavier te entienda, yo tambien soy español y vivo an argenina, y creo que no tienes necesidad de ser tan grosero. A ti te gusta davenpor a el Seles, que mas da?!!!!

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

A llamar vulgar y gilipollas a su madre

[joshwatts803]

Seles would have won many more slams if she was never stabbed. She was the most talented player in the 90's and this shows why and how. Hope she returns>>>>

[trent8002003]

Great to see Monica returned the favour a little. Lyndsay has been having Monica's no consistently during that time. Shows what a great champion Monica was. She may be in the twilight of her career but she still packed a respectable punch.

[McGuywer]

Many of today's girls aren't that fresh at 18 as Monica was at 28 in this one.

[LivingProof21]

I miss her so much :-((

[aaron1983]

Lindsay has amazing shots! Monica isn't grunting as much :)Maybe because its indoor it will echo horrendously?

[cherub7210]

please upload the 3rd set

[Wht4BlkNC]

Oh how I miss Monica!!

[kinglear]

Great example of Seles' talent. Intense and exhausting. Bravo!
