Surprised Ash is splitting w/ Vika. Maybe Vika plans to retire or limit her schedule next year as she let Wim go too.

I was also surprised,they both had good results as a doubles team this year.To get her ranking up to me she needs to play more tournaments,though her personal situation may not allow that to happen.You could be right she may plan to retire at the end of this year.

Wonder where my latest comments have gone - have I offended anyone or done something wrong?

Well - one can open his eyes, but it might have been a good idea to write that there was a new thread - eh?

I heard an interview where Serena stated she wanted to have another baby close to Olympia's age so they could play together.

You know I was just thinking of that when I saw the picture of Wozy... I would think that she would go the route of a surrogate mother this time instead of the possibility of another difficult pregnancy. Either way, I would assume this is Serena’s last year.. Vee too.
