It is Pat. She has had wrist problems earlier this year, but her and her agent were more afraid of the 88 rule, than anything else.

I feel more sorry for Ashley Gomes. This wonderful young lady is trying to make a living out there and was the last one bumped from the tournament when the sponsors gave Wie an exemption. I know she puts people in the seats...but for God's sake, honor you commitment. Even if you do suffer a real injury, stick around another couple days and make sure you keep the sponsors happy.


This girl has a long way to go and alot to learn.

just another addition to the long list of spoiled young athletes that has truly lost the edge to compete.....it's crazy what a lot of money will do to the attitude of some.....make a 10 and quit because I still have my endorsements...they forget where their bread is buttered and then it becomes too late and they are the one that had all the potential but never realized it.....shame....

Mike Celizic is one of my favorite sports writers. I think he's pretty spot on with this one.

As I've said before, she needs to dump her Dad...but I don't think her game is washed up,just stagnant! She's also using her age to side-step responsibility for her actions. Only time will tell

Do the Williams sisters come to mind here? Granted they did prove they belonged by winning at the highest level, but had their Dad not been running around like a maniac with his cameras and signs and totally disrupting their development. Now they are basically has beens that people have little interest in. Serena still brings something to the table, but for the most part it's over for them.

Samm: Venus just set a record for speed of serve! Granted ..we haven't heard much from them recently,but both can still if motivated. Believe me..the bucks are still rollin in

Timm,

I know the bucks are still rolling....much more for Serena though....I'm just saying the Williams sisters did what they did in spite of themselves....speed of serve means little....Wie is longer off the tee than anyone....none of it matters when the potential isn't realized....and although the Williams sisters did a lot in a very short period, imo they were/are nowhere near what they could have been had they been sound between the ears....same with Wie....

I'm pretty certain Serena won the last grand slam event played in Australia. That's hearing something I believe.
