JCapriati: Hello everyone... Jennifer is ready!
STARKEISHA: Your obviously a great player that can
challenge the top players, i would go as far to say that you are better
than any of the top players, what do you think separates you from them right now?
JCapriati: Thank you. Not much
separates us at that level. It's more of a mental game and who is
feeling the most confident. I can still improve on my fitness level and
be more aggressive.
Francisco: Hi Jennifer. Everyones knows that you
have an incredible forehand, but do you have to train it or is something
natural? Francisco Venezuela
JCapriati: I think it's something natural... but of course, I have to practice
PURE: Do you think the Williams Sisters are
talked about to much. And do you get tired of people asking more
questions about them in your interview than asking about you?
JCapriati: It's not too bad. But sometimes they ask at the inappropriate time.
Kelton22: Has there been a specific opponent in
your career that you have always enjoyed playing against?
JCapriati: I'd have to say... probably Martina Hingis and Steffi
blooby: Hi! I know you like wathing movies, but I
don't know if you have time to! Have you seen XMen2? Will you go to
watch Matrix 2 Reloaded?
JCapriati: Yes I do love watching
movies... No to X Men and I definitely want to see Matrix 2. I was
invited to the premiere but I couldn't make it because I was playing.
Doerte: Jennifer, is your brother going to come
with you to Roland Garros? If yes, are you going to play mixed doubles
again? Good luck in rome! Take care, Katharina and Doerte
JCapriati: No, I think we have given up on the mixed doubles career.
JenFaninMexico: Jen, Do you practice Yoga to improve your
concentration during matches?? Is it helping you?
JCapriati: No, not that much, although it's something maybe I'll try to get into more.
Bex: Hi! Good luck in Rome. Your comeback
really inspired me to play tennis. Which achievement means the most to
you one of your Grandslams or your olympic GOLD?
JCapriati: Grandslams... because it
was after I came back and was one of the most difficult for me.
Simon: We've heard that you trained with a known
athelte. Is that true and who is it?
JCapriati: My trainer now used to be
a track athlete, but not professionally
Kelton22: If you had to pick one, what is the most
memorable match you've played so far in your career?
JCapriati: The finals of the French Open against Kim Clijsters because it was the
intriguing and exciting for me and for the fans also
kira: Do you think it's fair that some players
are labelled as being pure power players while others are called "cerebral"?
JCapriati: I think the good ones have a little bit of both. You can't just have one
or the other to be a top player
JenFaninMexico: Jen, your family is wonderful. How
important are they in your performance on court?
JCapriati: They support me a lot on
and off the court and when I'm feeling their presence, it helps me to
stay calm and more relaxed, and off the court, they support me a lot so
I'm positive on and off the court
RobertG: Hi Jennifer! In your pro career, you won
almost everything possible except US Open and Wimbledon. Are these
titles your goal now?
JCapriati: Right now, I'm setting
small goals for myself. Itry to take one match at a time, one tournament
at a time since I haven't won a tournament in a long time, I probably
want to just start by thinking about the next tournament I play.
mandy7: Is it true that you are gonna play
doubles with Daniela at the Eastbourne tournament? I hope so cause she's
a absolutely great player don't you think?
JCapriati: Yes, she's a great player,
and I'm planning to play with her in Eastbourne.
Siobhan: Hello Jen! Good luck this week, always
supporting you even here from Scotland :-) My question is, if you were
able to play a movie character in any movie, which would it be and why?
Thanks so much, Siobhan x
JCapriati: how about Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 weeks!
Nick: Hello Jennifer my question for you is do
you feel that your second serve needs improvement and has it let you
down in tight matches?
JCapriati: It always will need
improvement and I'm working on it every day and it's getting better, so
it's not the thing that lets me down as much anymore.
IVKA_svk: Hi Jenny! What does your fans mean to you?
I ve got feeling that you really appreciate our support. You are always
so nice to your fans. Thanks.
JCapriati: I
really appreciate the support always, without you guys we are nothing as
players. We are well aware of the fans' support and be nice on AOL
message boards because I read them!!
Lonfoong_Hong: Jennifer, you are having a pretty
difficult draw in Rome! First match maybe against Zuluaga, followed by
Seles and Mauresmo!What do you think is the key to beat Seles and Mauresmo?
JCapriati: First, I have to beat Zuluaga if she wins. We'll start with that.
I: Hi Jenny... If you were to play 'Who
wants to be a Millionaire', which player would you use for 'Phone a friend'?
JCapriati: Martina Navratilova
blooby: Jennifer, I'd like to understand
something about you! You were two times defending champion at Australian
Open (winner in 2001 and 2002), but too, you didn't pass the second
round in 4 consecutive years (95/98), and this year, you lost against a
middle player (Panova). How can you explain so much extreme differences?
JCapriati: Two more questions, ok? Next question
Simon: In 1992, you were around 16 years old,
and you became yougest player to surpass $1.000.000 in career prize
money! How did you felt at this time? Did you realize what happened?
JCapriati: I never really t hought about money at that time, I
just enjoyed playing tennis.
JCapriati: last question
WilliamsFan: Jennifer, with the recent rise of Justine
and Kim, and the great play of the Williams sisters, how good do you
think are your chances at the french open?
JCapriati: Of course, I always think I have a chance to win
and beat anybody, but it's going to be tough!
JCapriati: Thanks everyone... I have to go... see you next time
