Marat was one of my fav players.....Super talented but crazy....The game needs more people like him.

Truly going to miss seeing Marat play. I loved watching the emotion, and the passion. I wish him nothing but the best for the future.

exactly - and Ivanovic-didn't she switch racquet co.'s and then she started losing...money isn't everything

Remember what a big deal was made that Murray wore Perry? How he was the first Brit in a long time, etc.....well, let's not forget that he's a Scot and doesn't like being called a Brit. Jumped ship from the line as soon as the money was there. I never did like those Fred Perry 2 tone hats. Ugly.

I'll have to drop in and volunteer once their up and running

Wish they had this in NYC.

There's definitely orgs like these being founded in Vegas, Miami, Seattle, but I don't know of any in NYC. I'll let you know if I come across something.

yeah except for a few that did not get the"wear a white dress" memo..hahahaha

LOL Raoul, I was wondering why Serena is wearing pants?

:(

lets hope for a more exciting 2010 !

Yes, it will be... WTA is going to be a whole lot better! I hope...

Some here have expressed their belief that men only get a slap on the wrist. At the 1987 USO, McEnroe was fined $17,500 and suspended for two months for misconduct and verbal abuse. When you consider prize money, that's an astronomical number compared to Serena's fine, $10,500.

On Tarango, Times of London:

The ITF has labeled (Serena's) tirade a "major offense" that may be penalized by a fine or suspension from one or even two grand slam tournaments. American player Jeff Tarango was suspended from two tournaments in 1995 when he called an umpire corrupt and refused to play a match, reports the Times of London.

I am a junior player and I do yoga a few times a week and also I feel faster at my tournaments because of it

Especially start stretching now as the cooler weather approaches

Serena is not my favorite tennis player. But I respect her determination, athleticism, and her power! She made a mistake and we all need to move on. Sooo many athletes have said threatening things...usually in other sports the men get thrown out of the game or suspended for a few if they talk back to a ref. And that is it.

@ Tasha Green Mixon
lol No wonder you're all so upset with men. You make stuff to and get pissed off about it.

Pretty good. 4.5 Men's USTA league
