Rumor of Venus retiring from tennis at the end of 2016. Can anyone confirm?

Where did you hear this rumor?

I was searching for possible links to that and all I found was this which I said I'd post 'cos it's a perfect example of the total unpredictability of sport. They were writing Serena off 6 years ago in 2010 and since then she's won 8 (!) slams. Pretty incredible stuff.

This is an article that was written in 2012 and it's 2016. I thought you just read or heard something recently. Are you trying to start a conversation? Something more recent would be more acceptable to start a discussion not an article from 2012.:puzzled

My friend who knows people in the sport such as coaches and players told me yesterday. Maybe nothing has been announced. Maybe Venus has not committed to the decision yet.

You totally missed Front's point. He was simply providing another example of rumor that was spreading in 2012 which turned out to be false. So, he is simply giving a warning not to believe in current rumors either.

Ok we all know the injuries can appear but not like this - is it political this time?

Caroline has done some waves again - again in should I say partly in a "nude" swimdress. Here a couple of pictures from the SI swimsuit party. First she's sitting with her pages :

God, that must have been torture sitting through the painting session for 15 hours. IMHO, she could have skipped that part :heart:

I'm glad Caro has been able to show all her hard fitness work.
If you're doing body paint as a swimsuit you REALLY need to be on point bodywise and she is, so congrats!

On another note, Hannah Davis (young lady to the left of Caro) is EVERYTHING and is also Derek Jeter's fiancee :D

GSM, you have to get familiar with the 'young people's talk'..LOL...When you say someone is EVERYTHING, it means you really like them i.e. they're everything great :D
Hannah is Sports Illustrated's #1 girl. She had the cover last year and is generally seen as a very nice person in the fashion/modelling world (which is rare)

I agree, she is EVERYTHING (even though I don't know anything about her).

apparently Kerber went to the buddhist monks in Thailand that Zenka used to go to when she won her two slams.....do they pray over these players or what.
