[edit] Best Serbian player?

Best serbian tennis player ever! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ManiaC (talk • contribs). 21:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

She isn`t, if you look statistics. Best is, by far Jelena Dokic. :))) --Göran Smith 21:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Jelena Dokic is just Serbian-Born tennis player...i must remind you that she was playing for Australia.By the way: Ana Ivanovic is best looking tennis player too :) ManiaC 00:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Dokic has flown the flag for Australia and for Yugoslavia, and also its successor Serbia & Montenegro. Not being the biggest of tennis fans, I am not sure whom she currently represents. It means very little anyhow because tennis is an individual sport in which the country celebrates if their national representative wins a final, particularly against a different national. Not like two Australians playing in the final and thinking "ah, let's not try too hard, we as Australia have won anyway!". Jelena Dokic was born in Osijek; that was Yugoslavia at the time of her birth, and Osijek is actually in Croatia. I believe that Serbian is her ethnic affiliation. So when one speaks of a Serbian tennis player, they perhaps mean the ethnicity rather than statehood; as such, this could mean Alex Bogdanovic of Great Britain, but not Monika Seles, who despite having represented Yugoslavia and came from Serbia, is infact Hungarian. It's a case of give and take here. Evlekis 18:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC) Евлекис

The best Serbian-born player ever is Monica Seles, but she played for Yugoslavia and USA. The best player ever who played for Republic of Serbia is Jelena Jankovic. So, both Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Dokic are not best in any way. Vanjagenije 18:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

This depends on your criteria for "best Serbian tennis player". If you compere all accomplishments (rank in singles, rank in doubles, singles titles, doubles tittles, win/loss statistics). When Seles was on her career high (1991-93), she played for Yugoslavia and she is from Vojvodina (present SERBIA); and Dokic, also ... she was on her career high when she played for Yugoslavia, she is Serbian who lived in Serbian, not Montenegro. In conclusion, no one can add "...she is best Serbian player ever", because that wouldn't be from neutral point of view. --Göran Smith 19:10, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements?

What can we do to improve this article? Let's get it to FA status :) // Laughing Man 21:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that would be hard, because she is still an active player, and there is no FA tennis article, so we wouldn't have an example for FA. What do u think we should add? (btw, I think Jelena Dokic is more FA material, because there is more text about her) --Göran Smith 21:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I guess I was volunteering to help, but not sure what could be done. :) // laughing man 00:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
