She is grand slam finalist, because when she was on her prime, she was able to outsmart a lot of her opponents. Although her serves and ball tosses were worst on WTA tour, she was able to those weak serves to a full potential. She made up for her weak serves with excellent performance and smart play.

Well, you can laugh at her game, but she proved herself in a way. She made the QF of Australian Open, SF (and another QF) at US Open and then a Final, SF and 2QF at the French Open four years in a row. She also made the QF or better at EVERY single WTA 1000 event.

She always won at least a set

She's even one of the few players to have won a career grand slam, albeit in doubles with her partner Roberta Vinci. Great achievement! I do agree with our Latvian friend that she is very much able to compensate her terrible serves by outsmarting her opponents on court.

@@akizaizinskii well thats wta for you..

I do remember. It was the Estoril tournament and you stayed in Barcelona.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the bit that gets me is on match point when the crowd sighs as well 😭

Yeah really great mixture of everything!:))

And yet she still reached a French Open final....

Also she won every grand slam in doubles ahh zorry

Oh i don't know lol. That is a tough one because that 2007 French Open final between Henin and Ivanovic was hard to watch.

Sorry. It must be Errani.

Ana’s ball toss in her earlier years, sure. But in the later parts of her career, it became a weird asset to her game.

I hadn't seen much of Errrani outside of the Slams, but this was ridiculous, LOL

I thought her clips would be of a couple of games but just one match alone? Jeez, just underhand serve if you can’t throw straight up.

Was there actually that many wrong tosses, or did the creator of this video just replay on loop :P.

@Douglas Bell yea, I thought same... Still crazy for a professional tho...

@@douglasbell7351 They're real, and not only in that video, her hole career is like that.

I was literally unable to finish it LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

AHHHHHH Sorri😆😆😆😆😆

If it so ,i believe the power was done for the grunt not for the hit the ball lol

Dementiava had the worst second serve her entire career. Held her back so much.

Mladenovic doesn’t seem to have a good second serve. Always does many double faults and doesn’t have as big a serve as Aryna.

She doesn't play anymore, but Anna Kournikova would definitely have the worst serve.

maybe could be fixed if tennis players had to play with directional microphones and speakers, and listen back to their own yells with some delay

Years ago she got a standard then she switched to a slice forehand and what’s crazy is that it’s actually pretty tricky she just uses it way wrong

Her backhand is better

Check Brengle serve then. Couldnt believe when I saw it live in Rome earlier this year.

Pam Shriver had one of the worst forehands in the history of the game. But she did very well, especially with Navratilova as her doubles partner.

Yeah I don't mind explosive ferocity on court, but roaring like she used to at the end of every point was just plain hostile. Glad she changed it when she reached the big league.

I think a lot of that came from the college tennis route that she took. I think she realised that it didn't always make her look good so she's changed it. I like her though - as someone with chronic illness, I have a lot of respect for her and what she's achieved.

But her scream was quite exaggerating, and interesting. Lol

Yeah right! As the Dutch would say: I miss it like a tooth ache

Not really. She still "come on"s quite a bit and even yells at her box to cheer her on. There's a lot of yelling. But I like Danielle. She seems like a total sweetheart off the court.

Haha. I think Coco is funny. Very entertaining.

Think of Putintseva about the worst on-court attitude: honorable mentions Cornet, Strycova

And rip audience ears

Well, the majority of the players he listed were top 50 players at some point or still are. In fact, many of them are top 10/5 players as well so this player would absolutely make the top 50.

@@PravoslavniVitez Come on, let's be real all these players compensate their weaknesses by being great at other things, you're being ridiculous...

@@poupoulechou8591 nah the wta is just trash.

Lol no way in what way would this hypothetical player find a way to win xD.

that player would basically be the Yuji Ide of tennis

Absolutely agree. On her good days, her backhand was really really good

On her good days, her backhand was good just because she hit it very much on the rise. But she had very bad feel on the ball, and actually, her lack of feeling on the two-handed shot (her backspin was not bad) was the only motivation behind her decision of trying to fix it by taking the ball so early. A very arguable decision il my opinion. It was just the same decision taken by Stosur, who plays a very bad two-hander as well. I'm quite convinced that this thing badly spoiled her career. Maybe, she should better have chosen playing the one-handed backhand instead, given that she shows good feel with the few slice backhands she plays. She just had not enough sensibility with two hands.

I really have no clue

She almost never hits a topspin FH, slices 99% of the time. How is it possible to be top 100 with such FH??? Anyone can be in this case. I know some girls were really thrown off by her game though

@@gabrielametodieva8360 Her slice though can be extremely nasty on grass or lower-bouncing indoor court (see Luxembourg). And her topspin forehand used to be somewhat serviceable when she was hitting a double-handed one (albeit it was early on in her career - circa 2009/2010).

@@gabrielametodieva8360 Sure, it's not a shot that deals damage. But she is a defensive player, and her consistency with that slice is very good. The only real problem is the passing shot, as you could see in the video.

@@gabrielametodieva8360 Stop talking shit, man. "How is is it possible to be top 100 with this forehand?" You partly answered your own question afterwards: It's annoying, it throws you off. It's difficult to return because people don't usually train for that. And lastly, you can get a surprising amount of pace on the ball, especially if it's hit from high above net height (basically a given since almost everybody else hits heavy topspin). In short - she'd take apart lower-level players, which is why she has that ranking.

ostapenko isnt terrible at volleying though

It's should be rather Halep who is terrible at the net, than Ostapenko who is good in doubles

Ostapenko is a good volleyer, especially swinging volleys

​@@janetcarole1286 Please...she can't hit a classic volley

@@janetcarole1286 she has gotten better cuz of doubles, but 2017,2018 she was horrendous

She’ll be back at Wimbledon this year…

I do. Her attitude is zero same as her game. Lol

@@leo.ouellette hopefully she'll be out soon

I remember Dementieva saying after losing in the French Open final that she didn't know how to serve, admittedly she was upset, but what professional says that?

I was about to say Andreescu for the same reason

Muchova

Emma Raducanu.

Muchova or Raducanu.

"Is her last name Jankovic?"

Vandegwe is worse tou

I think Sakkari beats her on that.

wait when did this happen?!

There's no way I could sit through a Larcher de Brito match.

Sun in her eyes.

You can count:)

She's really hateful

That's terrible LOL Stosur and Ivanovic actually had analogue backhands troubles, and they both tried to fix this problem by hitting it very aggressively on the rise, but their lack of feeling with two-handed shots remained just very obvious, and in Stosur game this problem was even worse than Ivanovic's. Sam hits a totally rigid two-hander, quite painful to watch something like that at professional level.

I agree with you I've watched your matches the last few tournaments will just on KZfaq you know and she doesn't scream anymore she's quiet I don't know if she decided that she can win without it or if she decided that she didn't want to be the most hated woman on tour anymore

Osaka in worse

Her traditional volleys were not that great, but she rarely used them anyway. Sharapova's swinging volleys, on the other hand, were lethal.
