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

Need to give her props for that beautiful one handed backhand. She is like the last of the Mohicans. A great warrior 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.

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.
