jahrock It's very interesting to see how short peoples memories are, because Michael Schumacher went thru a lot of times when people said he was too aggressive, but at the end of the day, it is that competitive spirit that makes these guys want to get into those...

abhishek111 @abhishek111 (377) • India 17 Aug 08

What I feel is either of Maria Sharapova or Anna Ivanovic has the potential to reach the level set by greats like Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova in women's tennis.

jahrock Well trinihd, I think we actually agree in general, and it's interesting to think back to the glory days of Steffi Graf or Martina Navratilova, and very few women were missing months of competitions because of injuries. The Williams sisters in the present game...
