I think it would be not only great but necessary if Jelena Jankovic won the French Open this year given she's the only one left of the Serbian Three that hasn't and has enjoyed (although short lived) the number one spot in Female Tennis. And if that were not enough, Jelena plays extremely hard, very consistent off the ground and is one of the Women's power hitters that truly is a pleasure to watch at times.
I say at times only because on the WTA side, there is a tendency for the women who hit with serious power off the ground, to be void of tactics while in battle. Most seem to approach the game in a "I'm going to win by blasting you off the Court". Jelena is known for her Down-the-Line Backhand which she does a very good job of opening up the Court in order to produce this signature shot of hers and her Opponents know going in that's what to expect but can't seem to avoid seeing those BH winners over & over again. So I will give her credit in being able to execute her Money Maker Shot even when they know it's coming and can't do anything about it.
Jelena Jankovic - Here's to a successful 2009 French Open
