Also I was impressed by Ernest Gulbis (who beat James Blake) and Alize Cornet. Who has impressed you so far? -- Paul, ChicagoFri, 30 May 2008 17:47:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/05/28/tennis.mailbag/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/05/28/tennis.mailbag/index.htmlA quick mid-week, mid-tournament Baguette before we get on the Big Bird for Orly ...Wed, 28 May 2008 15:46:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1779500,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1779500,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsShe became the world's No. 1 women's tennis player thanks to her cool and clinical attitude.

It always struck an emotional chord with me when she would look skyward at Roland Garros in memory of her mother.Wed, 14 May 2008 05:57:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/04/16/mailbag/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/04/16/mailbag/index.htmlTrue or False: Women's tennis is like men's tennis, only slower, with less variety and more errors. Seriously, give me a reason or two that a rational person would want to watch women's tennis that has nothing to do with sex appeal. -- Wafo Rodriguez, San Antonio Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:32:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/04/01/mailbag/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/04/01/mailbag/index.htmlWhat do you see Lindsay Davenport accomplishing before she eventually retires?

It was the longest match ever played in the finals of this event, an epic way for the Belgian to cap a remarkable year.

Her tempestuous personal affairs are behind her and it looks like what we saw of her this year was only the beginning. Can you put on some earplugs to dull the noise and give her some love?Wed, 17 Oct 2007 18:17:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_wertheim/10/09/mailbag/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_wertheim/10/09/mailbag/index.htmlJustine Henin most certainly is not the "worst flouter" of coaching "rules"[Oct. 3 Mailbag].There are several (many) WTA players ranked in the top 20 who interact far, far more with their coaches during matches. Have you seen Nadia Petrova, Nicole Vaidisova or even Svetlana Kuznetsova matches lately? -- Adam, Wiltshire, EnglandWed, 10 Oct 2007 14:03:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/richard_deitsch/09/07/women.preview/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/richard_deitsch/09/07/women.preview/index.htmlNEW YORK -- Justine Henin and Venus Williams were tied at 5-5 in the first set of their semifinal clash and as hard as Svetlana Kuznetsova tried not to look at the television during her post-match press conference, her eyes kept drifting toward the screen. Why? Because you always want to see what your executioner looks like.Sat, 08 Sep 2007 04:34:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/08/18/tennis.toronto.reut/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/08/18/tennis.toronto.reut/index.html#cnnSTCTextWorld number one Justine Henin and second seed Jelena Jankovic refused to be blown off course by recording quarterfinal wins on a wild and windy day at the Toronto Cup on Friday.Sat, 18 Aug 2007 05:35:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_wertheim/07/06/five.things/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_wertheim/07/06/five.things/index.htmlWIMBLEDON, England -- Five things we learned during a memorable day of tennis on Friday:Fri, 06 Jul 2007 08:16:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/frank_deford/06/27/henin/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/frank_deford/06/27/henin/index.htmlWho is the toughest cookie, the hardest case in sports today?

Grunting and screeching are tennis staples, of course, but not for Federer. Usually he embodies the quaint notion of striving quietly. But he had just made his final desperate run at Rafael Nadal and the 2007 French Open title, muffing the last of 16 break points he'd let slip this day. It was 5:50 p.m. on Sunday, in the second game of the fourth set, and after Federer rolled a backhand wide, his first groan echoed across the clay. On the next point Federer shanked another stray backhand and yelled in despair, and the 15,166 fans jammed into Court Philippe Chatrier knew it was done. Nadal had cracked him open for all to hear.

She was sitting in the player's lounge at the 2006 U.S. Open, speaking of the time when she had a chance to meet her childhood idol, Steffi Graf. The two women had happened to be on the same flight to somewhere.
