Are there anyone that can tell me an alternative to the WTA website as it seems to be totally f...ed up. No draws, order of play etc. from various torunaments. I'm e.g. looking for information about the WTA125K in Chicago - and it's useless - so help the old Dane. Has this tournament a website? Are there any streams? etc.

I totally hear you, @Hoergren. I think the WTA website sucks. The ATP one is better, but not always. I would so love it if they would join IT forces.

Venus Williams has just announced she has withdrawn from the USO.Venus says she has been having leg issues this Summer,and has decided to withdraw.

This is directly related to Serena not showing. Vee doesn't want to play w/o her there.

They also said Vee was taking dating applications. I guess she's not engaged to that young media mogul anymore.

Venus has been engaged a few times,hopefully one day she finds 'the right one'.

@Hoergren -- I agree with Moxie. The WTA site is an embarrassment. I used to check it for info about tournaments (seeded players, draws, etc.), but have given up.

There must be something to that. Maybe Cahill doesn't like him
