I'm confused so Serena is at Stanford practicing with Venus. She might as well have played there add some cushion at #1.

Such a waste of a career , Thanks Stepanek :mad:
dont blame Radek blame her family...remember Nicole was born out of wedlock and her mother married that man who became her stepfather and had more kids...he introduced her to tennis who knows the dynamics in a family like that maybe she was not completely loved by her stepfather who wanted to exploit her for money or she never knew her biological father just like Hingis and went out looking for a father figure and ended up with Radek an older guy.
She had too many family problems to deal with..marrying Radek was a symptom of family problems defying her mother and stepfather.

I read her mother introduced her to tennis? Whatever the reason it's a shame her career got wrecked she was a good player.

Caroline Wozniacki has withdrawn from Montreal - not much going her way this year me thinks.:nono

@TennisChannel says Wozniacki has a left bicep tear, from her MRI. Needs a few weeks off

Caro should probably sit the rest of the year out, heal, and regroup and hit 2017 hard.

Also, what happened to all the Chinese players? Did they go soft when Li Na retired?

My crystal ball knew that would happen. She carried Asian women's tennis and they built all those stadiums because they thought she was going to hang around at least until the next Olympics and that didn't happen. There's no other player willing to take up the mantle over there. :nono

Summer has finally appeared for more than 1 day - here in Denmark -so I fell in a map with summer videoes and what appeared - a video Caroline is in as guest - Dame vida (Give me life) enjoy and have a nice day:

[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c70S9bnYQOY[/video]

Another thing - this is from 2011 when she was #1 - not many seems to give her credit for being #1 in such a young age - she was #1 on 11.october 2010 just 3 months after turning 20 - not many has done that. Keeping the post for 67 almost straight weeks (minus 1 where Kim took over)

Latest is that she should be ready for the olympics she just have to nurse her elbow a bit.

I don't think Woz ever won a set at a grand slam final?

Still doesn't take away her #1 ranking. She did earn her place in both finals by winning 6 matches and beating some pretty good players along the way.

She has the dubious distinction of being the player who was ranked #1 for the longest time without ever winning a GS. Especially considering that she achieved her #1 ranking as a teenager, she surely mismanaged her potential (assuming she had it).

p.s. Sorry, didn't mean to be too harsh on her. But, there is no other way to put it.

On ESPN Evert said Serena wanted to be closer to the boyfriend. What guy is she dating that lives in Cali?

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/serena-williams-is-dating-alexis-ohanian-the-co-founder-of-reddit-20152810...
he has an Armenian last name ...I hope Kim Kardhashian didnt introduce him to her.I think she would be better off with an older guy who is successful on his own and is ready to settle down.She should not date like she is in her twenties..she should be dating with marriage and kids in mind..
