Williams wins in Stanford

I guess she is ready for US Open because at one point I really doubt her participation

Li Na to retire?

 

[ron436]

Li is struggling to stay injury free. Hope she keeps playing, but if she calls it a day,the timing is good.

 

[Chris_2593]

Li Na officially announces her retirement. A great carrer over. Always been one of my favourites.

Wow must be the day for retirements. Ash Barty has walked away from tennis at just 18 years old. Hopefully she will return soon.

What the hell? There has to be a story behind that one.

Plain bizarre and just a waste. Shocking news. i would suspect she comes back eventually though.

"Williams brothers"

I guess I missed the part where the comments (ie. 2 words) were racist, but I'd expect nothing less from a pathetic individual like Serena Williams.

Really?

Just caught up with the news about Barty, tough to see as she really did seem to have some talent.

Wow! How did I miss this? I had no idea this had happened. Hope she has a change of heart, I think she has huge potential.

Kind of odd that that is your take on this, to be offended by what Serena said and not what the Russian coach said...

I agree, I should have stated that what the Russian coach said was inappropriate especially given his position.

However, I will not ignore that Serena has yet again pulled the race card. Her achievements on the tennis court are amazing and will go down in history, but she has some serious character flaws that have nothing to do with her gender or the colour of her skin. Some of us choose to not overlook her own behaviour over the years.

In doubles maybe. She is too small, just no chance of competing against the likes of Serena & co in singles.

Not really. The sample size is way too small to draw conclusions. People who don't understand statistical analysis shouldn't throw the word 'statistics' around like that.

Wow must be the day for retirements. Ash Barty has walked away from tennis at just 18 years old. Hopefully she will return soon.

She played a bit of tennis recently in the APTL , hopefully she returns to professional tennis when she's ready although it might be a while away.
“You never know, she may. But speaking to her, I know she is very happy and just enjoying life,’’ Gajdosova said.

“Tomas will skip the first round but he will play the quarter-finals or the relegation tie,” Czech manager Miroslav Cernosek said.

“He has swapped his coaching team to boost his individual career and his hopes are pretty high.”

Very good news for us.

I missed this piece of news, great news for us. Still not easy but now we have a solid shot.
