Well she's right and I said as much at the time. I also said they probably wouldn't do anything beyond giving him a fine and so far that holds true. They're appearing pretty spineless right now.

Just watched a video of Darren Cahill and Amanda Anisimova practice session at Indian Wells

The next Aussie BJK Cup tie was supposed to be played at home.But they've come to an agreement w/the Swiss to play in SUI.
Makes sense logistically given it's in April, during the Euopean clay court season.,the tie of course now will be on clay.

Well , I truly feel her window is less than a year or so from being closed. If she stick to the same schedule and routine as she has the past 5 years ..it's closed already but she isn't accepting reality. IMO

Well I would be surprised if Serena said she was giving up? that is not in her DNA.Though I have to agree with you,I also feel her chance to win more Grand Slams has passed her by.

Kanepi had to take most of the tour off a few years ago due to achilles injury,like Serena,maybe Serena isnt a great healer,also her age is a factor.
