Default Which number 1 will retire next?
In the last month, Justine and Guga have left the game. Who is next?

Interesting. So many candidates. I'm tempted to say Amelie but for some reason Moya is screaming out to me right now. Perhaps you should make this a poll? Throw them all up there.

From what I read, Lindsay only returned to get back to the Olympics. She may play US Open and go back home to California. But I don't think Mauresmo wil last even that long.

I've been saying all year that Mauresmo, bless her heart, will retire after Wimbledon.

Mauresmo. Losing to Suarez Navarro was the latest in a string of unsolicited calls from Retirement.

Excellent poll!

I voted for Mauresmo. Moya would be my second choice.

Amelie will return to the sea. Hewitt will probably win Queens.

I voted for Moya.

Second choice would be Davenport. Third would be Mauresmo.

I'd go with Mauresmo because her results are just awful. It's heartbreaking to see her like this, so I'd think after Wimbledon and maybe, if she's still up to it, the Olympics, she'll call it a day.

Lindsay is my second guess. She's playing through the US Open, and then will decide whether or not to continue. She has said that it depends on what's best for her son (since he's a year now, it's harder to travel with him) and my own assuption of her results and health.

We shall see...

I'll list all nine in order of leaving the sport:

1. Mauresmo
2. Moya
3. Davenport
4. Hewitt
5. Safin
6. Venus
7. Ferrero
8. Federer
9. Roddick

I picked Amelie just because you can tell she's tired. I'll say she will finish after the US Open and call it quits.

Perhaps ponchi recognized the fact that the very thought of Serena retiring is enough to cause munchin a panic attack and contemplation of suicide and just wanted to save me all of that hassle.

Mauresmo is my choice also. I can't see her continuing much longer, especially if she gets any more injuries.

Amelie seems the obvious answer.

Someone voted Venus to screw with the Venuts, I just know it.

I went with Mauresmo. I'm not even sure that she'll reach the USO, did she even play it last year?

Mauresmo would have been our #1 choice had we conducted a poll BEFORE Justine retired.

So, who knows...

I would have chosen Mary Pierce if she had been an option. I bet she comes back at the US Open, plays some indoor events, her body doesn't keep up, and she goes bye-bye.

I voted for Lindsay because it seems she is playing it by ear as is.

Next choice would be Amelie, but I think if she were going to retire this year, it would have happened already, maybe.

Then Ferrero and Hewitt simply because they're barely standing, but I think Ferrero's not going to forgive himself for going 5 years without winning a tournament, and Hewitt still wants to fight. So, I see them retiring only if an injury takes them out for many months.
