Well, I guess Stalin "kept winning"...Keep winning? Well, I guess Stalin "kept winning" for many years too, if you want to look at it in a weird way.<BR/><BR/>People have been saying that about her for years. It took her TWO YEARS to get back to a grand slam final. You have no evidence whatsoever to support your case, and you certainly can't refute any of the facts laid out in the text.<BR/><BR/>If "she's gonna keep winning" is the best you can come up with, we're even more right than we thought.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, care to put your money where your mouth is?<BR/><BR/>By the way, if your right, then it takes America to make a Russian great.La Russophobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672264388217953086noreply@blogger.com
