Jelena Jankovic - will 2008 be her Grand Slam year?

I think Jankovic still need to prove that she is grand slam winning material, for now yhis 2008 will show the likes Venus, Serena, Sharapova and Henin winning a slam this year. The only chance could be at Roland Garros but she will need to defeat Henin

Jelena Jankovic is one of the greatest players, even though im a true Williams fan, i still always always look forward to watching the Serb perform. i think she has a great chance of wiinning a grand slam, I think she is underestimated a lot too, and i agree that she is better than Ivanovic. It's very possible she could make it to number one in the world, she made it to number two in the world, and with Justine faltering thus far its going to leave the door wide open for her. Great article though!

Great article! I agree that her game is underestimated and that she is better player than Ivanovic and I hope she'll prove it this year!

I think that Jelena is a great player, and that she has greater potential to be a No. 1 player than Ana. Don't know why she always looses to her. Also, Jelenas game suffered a slow down lately, but hopefully she can continue to improve even more, and that she can start by taking the Miami masters tournament.

I've always said Serbia is the new Belgium. Remember at the beginning of Henin and Kim's career? Kim had more success (and buzz) but towards the middle through to the end, Henin overtook Kim. It might very well be the same for these two Serbs.

i really like Jelena as a player, she has a great attitude specially on coutr, imagine she can still manage to smile even if she is loosing, she also has a great chance of winning her 1st grandslam title as far as her playing tactics are concern.GUD LUCK AND BEST WISHES TO YOU JELENA IM YOUR NUMBER 2 FAN

Jankovic is a good player but not yet a great player. If she wins a grand slam this year it would be only because the top guns e.g. Serena, Venus, Justine and Sharapova are not in the tournament. I do not think she has what it takes to beat them in a championship match. She may beat one of them to get to it but if all of the top 4 are in it, one of them will stop her from winning the big match. She still hasn't proven that she can beat her fellow countrywoman, Ivanovic. Yes, it appears that she is better but until she actually does it, then it is still wishful thinking. Perhaps she needs to take some of those smiles and replace them with grunts. She is entertaining on the court but not a true champion yet.
