Apparently she just had really bad back problems. Fairly believable imo.

Dinara hasn't returned though...not once.

Don't fill up this thread w/ speculations about doping. There is a thread for that in the General tennis forum.

I've always believed that those two years Justine "retired" she was really on a silent band from the game because of PEDs. It was very abrupt and she asked that her name be removed from the ranking list. I believe that's one of the stipulations when one is given a silent band.

That is not true. Maria's name is still on the ranking charts. Marin Cilic's name was also on the ranking list.

But, Justine did quit when she was at #1 (and when her ambition of winning Wimbledon had not materialized) and so it sure does raise questions. On the other hand, she might have come back after a legitimate retirement, seeing that Kim was wiping away all the trophies despite being away from the game for child birth.

Justine was a great player with a stankass personality. I don't miss that player who had very questionable sportsmanship.
