Since she came back, from 2001 to 2004 (when she got injured) she was always in the semis or quarters. Serena was #1 in 2002 and never was again. But she's always a contender for the Grand Slam titles.

Jennifer is one of only 18 number ones. If she wasn't great I don't know what was she.

You gotta love Capriati. She showed so much personality on court.

@grafgirl27

massive LOL about Kuznetsova.  it pisses me off to think that she won more slams than players like novotna, sabatini and martinez who were so much better than her.

[saar144]

of course capriati is in the top 50 of all time. if u consider women only, she's even in the top 20. that's a fact

@djjs91

again, capriati's return to tennis was in 1996!

@flipocb

capriati came back in 1996 not in 2001.

@grafgirl27 for her 1st slam she got through seles, hingis and davenport the number 1, 2, 4 seeds. seles was no mug even though past her prime slow and fat. she was the 4th best.

Davenport i dnt care about the head to head, if she only beat her once , she beat her when it mattered for her !

the others u have point but they certainly knew how to hit ball and had been around for long, they wernt in nappies even if clijsters was 17.a win over serena in 2001 was big, even on clay.

[personify505]

@grafgirl27 lol good point

though she has been to 4 slam finals so she has the ability to at least win 6 matches

and her win over serena before she captured the RG 2009 was not luck, just sheer mental strengh so she deserved that one !

[grafgirl27]

@personify505 You say you cant be lucky and win multiple slams. Have you ever heard of Kuznetsova?

[grafgirl27]

@personify505 Lets look at the people you listed:

Davenport - ok big win. Still overall she was mostly owned by Davenport even during her peak of winning 3 slams.

Hingis- ok big win again.

Seles- Seles was way past her prime and not a big threat to win slams

Clijsters- a 17 year old kid far from her prime.

Mauresmo- another player far from her prime years.

Serena 2001 French Open- Serena back then sucked on clay. Had never been past the quarters of a clay event. Not a big win at all.

@grafgirl27 cmon luck is winning 1 slam , u still think shes lucky winning 3?

some people

and if remember she did beat Serena, seles, davenport, hingis , clijsters, mausresmo, en route to three of her slams

some people

@MARBLES81 and those players better than Capriati this decade like Henin, Venus, Davenport, Clijsters, and Hingis, all beat Serena more often than Capriati did. :) Your point.
