Apparently, she got double bagelled in her last match. Not a good way to go out.
Perhaps, but at least she won't be doubting that it was time to go. She gave it more than a good run.

Melanie Oudin is the ultimate cautionary tale that once the vets get a look at your game for more than a year...then let's talk about being a real contender.

Pliskova has fired her coach David kotyza

I hate when players fire coaches 'cos they play badly w hi en much of the fault is their own. Hopefully she'll do better at the slams next year as I thought she had a good chance this year to win one. She's a bit robotic and her movement isn't great but nice aggressive game when it's clicking.

Is this the article you mean? Doesn't seem to be about divorce.

it mentions that Christine was there with her boyfriend and she was with her boyfriend in Rio last year at the Olympics..I think the parents are divorced...never seen Keys father and have heard that he played college basketball..and his family has Jamaican roots.

I feel a little uncomfortable seing Billie Jean King palling around with pova especially with her drugging history.She was inviting her to her events when she was on her ban...what message is she sending to the tour..that she is okay with taking drugs...she literally held her hand during the ban.I know BJK is not a fan of Serena and didnt look happy when Serena won Wimbledon 2015...I hope she didnt encourage pova to write this mess.

Bottom line is Sharapova's illegal drug taking lasted about a month... probably more through negligence than anything else. Anything she was taking before the cut off date doesn't count as they weren't banned.... just like most players will take anything legal to give themselves an edge.

drug cheat is what is on her resume...no matter how she wants to spin this she will forever be known as a dope fiend in the annals of history...100 hundreds yrs from now every kid will know that she was caught drugging...
