Well, I figured there was probably more to this.

Zina's record DID suck. But the only elite athlete who truly committed to her was Venus, but her body didn't always cooperate. Serena was on her professional walkabout for much of that time; Lindsay struggled with injuries and had a baby. So Zina was basically stuck with Venus and a collection of scrubs. So Zina's record is more of a reflection of a lack of commitment and a dire shortage of talent.

Mary Jo's record as Fed Cup captain will be much worse than Zina's. Lindsay is gone. Venus is loyal to Zina and will be happy to give Mary Jo the middle finger. And Serena just doesn't much care about Fed Cup.

For me, the most disturbing part of the piece was the players' complaints about Zina's communications skills. I don't know what they mean about that. But if she was an ineffective leader, then she doesn't deserve to have the job.

It's a shame, however, that it has come to this.
