Fill me in on the ins and outs of this Vika deal where she "can't leave the country"... why can't she?

Baron, we discussed at length last year when it first came up before the USO. Visit this thread and start with post 286 and then again with post 370.

12 years her junior. Some serious cougar life. Go Venus w/ yo bad self.

I'm picking Venus in my draw challenge, just for the happiness. (OK, and she was the finalist last year.)

At the end of the day, it's their choice. If they're happy it's nothing to do with anyone else. It's their life. No one should interfere & I hope they're good for each other & happy together.

Alize Cornet in a little trouble

^ Not much sympathy. One miss is careless... two is dodgy, three is....

Further, the WTA/ITF is not announcing this. The player is announcing voluntarily. This is exactly what Meldopova did also.
They said they changed the rules and henceforth, they will immediately make these things public and not wait for the entire
hearing to be over. ATP/ITF already violated this with Belluci and now WTA/ITF is also violating. I don't trust these
organizations. They got great publicity when they said they are changing the system in Oct. 2016 to no more silent bans.
But, they are not following it.

I never thought Cornet could be this kind of player...really disappointing and a bad ex not to follow

Well just to remind you that temper can be crucial sometimes if things don't get your way - have fun

A little interesting ACEwise - little surprised over number of aces from Caroline - Aceniacki ?

 

[Hoergren]

For those of you who like a good story - here is one which was brought in a Danish newspaper and then translated by a Canadian living in Denmark. It's about Carolines AO and how close things are - very well written and really worth reading - go for it:

Have you tried facebook & niume? I was introduced to niume on twitter. It's a platform where people write about all different things but you have to have a title, put everything under the right category, have more than 4 lines & a picture. I wrote under the categories of fiction & poetry. I had 50 subscribers & positive feedback until I started having p.c. problems. I haven't gone back to write more there as I joined writer's groups on facebook & a science forum & often can't be bothered to find a picture & think of a title. It's about collaborative writing but people just like to look at my poems, give me positive feedback & subscribe. You could obviously write something in sport under tennis & just accidentally on purpose mention this forum. Just a suggestion.

Stats can be interesting to read - I think this one is - maybe a bit surprising to some of you

Hate to say it because she made the WTA more exciting, but I think she’s done being a factor even if she comes back to the tour. At least she managed to win two majors which should get her into the Hall of Fame. How a wealthy athlete can get into a situation like hers is unfathomable.
