And I think she intended to, regardless of popular opinion.

I agree, JJ

After what I saw today, it makes perfect sense. Serena needs rest.

On the other hand, there was speculation before that Serena's commitment to playing the Fed Cup final may be tied to her trying to make some amends with the USTA. While I really think this is about her injury and needing some rest, I can't help but wonder if perhaps there is some disciplinary action headed her way, she's knows it, and she's basically saying, "Well, screw it." And the injury isn't really part of the equation.

JUST speculation. But I can't help but wonder.

I am more inclined to think that it's the injury. And if it's not. SO WHAT?! People seem to forget that the athlete are human and their bodies can break down. Plus lots felt she did not deserve to be there, so I don't get the "I should have known" rants. And I don't mean on this forum
