WTA(P) Charleston 4/13-4/19/2009 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**goolen4you** · 04-13-2009, 09:34 PM

Aw, give her a break. She's clearly injured, and has played two matches that she already probably shouldn't have.

I missed her last two matches. How bad does the injury look?

**altosburg** · 04-13-2009, 09:51 PM

Oh no way. She's good against big girls with suspect movement. Venus will spank her.

True, but have they played before (I'm too lazy to look it up)? Venus is perhaps the most guilty of the top players of coming to the court without scouting someone they've never played before.

I missed her last two matches. How bad does the injury look?

Not overly serious, but bad enough to be seriously compromising her serving ability. Without that serve, she doesn't stand a chance of winning at Roland Garros.

Well she did play Marbella. So who knows what she would do with regards to here? So yeah It is a bit shocking although her not playing is a wise decision IMHO.

what happened to your sense of humor?

**TheBest-Host** · 10-04-2009, 05:36 PM

Looks to be a good list, even without Serena. I thought Roadmap was supposed to kill their chances at so many top ranked players. Did I fret for no reason?

**FelixQY** · 10-04-2009, 05:37 PM

Serena finally decides to wise up and skip Charleston.

**TypeTeasiaDer** · 10-04-2009, 05:46 PM

Very nice draw. What do I need to sacrifice in order for Venus to show up healthy and reach the QFs?
