At least he took the monkey off his back and the only way is up.

BTW, what's up with Miss Lil Bit . Has she won a match since loosing the US Open final to young Emma?

 

[the AntiPusher]

Lookie who was in the stands to watch Grigor

I guess she CANT retire because she may feel she will loose all those endorsements. Has SERENA entered ANYTHING in the next few weeks, months, years or century?

It was probably the only reason Seles returned in '95 after her stabbing! Her endorsements were hanging by a thread! After all this time I still can't believe it happened! I'm more apt to believe it now with the sick F#cks roaming this Earth, but not back then!

She has kinda disappeared for now.She is good and maybe busy signing on the dotted line.She is appearing on a commercial and tells us that she speaks three languages.

Gotta sometimes hit it while it's hot! More than likely she rode in a wave of being "in the zone" and we'll never hear from her again! Not to be rude but what did Chris Lewis do after getting to that Wimbledon Final back in 1983?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The almost laughable part here is that they had to dismiss the complaint. I mean was she drinking and driving? WTF!

One of Ash commitments just after she won the AO was to go to the Channel 9 commentary,where there was Casey Dellaqua,Alicia Molik on the panel,she was handed a small bottle of beer,Ash took a sip,that was all.I mean the AO has been over for over a couple of weeks,some one reported this now? it was laughable.

I don't think she will lose too many endorsements. Look how many ads she's done when she hasn't been actively playing.

Was Dubai a 500 or a 250 level?

WTA 500

That's my point, her career has been prolonged be she is still considered to be an active player. How many tournaments have she played in the past two years, I doubt it's been more than 12

@kskate2 @Moxie @MargaretMcAleer Question? Who is the better player Maria Sakkari vs Sara Sorribes .. The Greek Chick or the noisy Spainard.. I would say Sakkari

 

[the AntiPusher]
