Kim came back because she sensed an opportunity. Kim was never the strongest mentally. She had a nice game, but against Henin, Venus, and Serena she fell flat on her face. With Henin out, Venus and Serena at that point well it was always hard to tell what was going on with their careers at that point in their lives, so she came back and won three slams.

As for everyone else, Azarenka seems quite happy she is pregnant, so I hope she enjoys it. I have my doubts that she can come back from it and be a consistent force. Her body broke down consistently before having a baby I can't imagine what toll having a baby might take on her body.

This is the point where players like Kvitova and Radwanska are not taking advantage where there are advantages to be had. Let's be real: Serena has been there for the taking, and if we are being honest she has been since the 2014 season even though she eked out tough wins to get slams in 2015, and you have players who should be winning slams muddling their chances.

My opinion is that Vika is overly optimistic. She has no clue how tough it is to have a baby, let alone raise one while on tour. She might try to come back but won't be successful. What a shame.

Serena is the benefactor with her gone, especially in Rio and at USO.

We will have to see. I mean Kerber has been a nice contender when her nerves aren't shot. We will see if Muguruza can recalibrate after Wimbledon. I don't know if going to Rio is the smart thing for either sister as they seem susceptible to acquiring a lot of illnesses especially Serena. How many times have we seen Serena play tournaments sick? Serena will be a much tougher out now that she has 22 off her shoulders and will probably want to win the US Open out of what happened to her there last year.

Shvedova says the tour will be quiet (literally) with the absence of Screampova and Gruntenka.

If there was ever a more enjoyable match AO 2005 semi between Serena and Maria. It was the start of Maria falling apart against Serena. It was particularly satisfying as Maria was at her screechiest worst. Serena took that match right out from under her. Very, very satisfying.

First Haelp. Now Pliskova. She too does not want to be infected with Zika.

Including Vika (as she announced her pregnancy after ITF released the list), there are now three vacancies in the entry list.
