You say that Russia has only one three Grand Slam titles. While there are only three Russian women as champions, Sharapova has won two titles (both against non-Russians who were the tourney's number 1 seeds.)<BR/><BR/>And, the fact that Russian players ended up in double-Russian Finals isn't proof that they can't play against non-Russians. Indeed, in 2004 it was proof that no one could play against Russians.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197640406885293301noreply@blogger.com
