Of course itwouldn’t be the first time Jelena has accomplished somethingunprecedented in WTA tournaments and rankings. In 2008 she became the only No1 in history without an appearance in a Grand Slam final, a fact she erased few weeks later earning a spot in the US Open title match. As 2008 came to a close she was crowned as the first WTA World champion without a Grand Slam title, a fact that Jelena gets rash about whenever questioned in the media.
“Grand Slams are not the only tournaments in tennis. There are other big titles I have won”, seems to be Jelena's stock answer when the question arises. I believe that deep down, she knows what the most important titles in tennis are, and won't give up fighting until she has one of them.
