Alicia Molik calls it a career - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**JRixlcvF** · 04-09-2008, 09:43 PM

AUSTRALIAN tennis lost one of its charismatic and gifted talents yesterday with the retirement of Alicia Molik.

Molik, 27, hangs up her racquet after 11 seasons on the professional tour, a stint crowned by a career-high singles ranking of No. 8, Olympic Games bronze and grand slam doubles success.

Articulate, personable and driven, Molik has mulled her future for the past two years while recovering from the inner-ear virus vestibular neuronitis.

And for a while, she showed so much promise.

Best of luck in your future endeavors, Alicia.

Whenever we got to see her, she always seemed to be playing someone like Lindsay or Venus, and I couldn't root for her.

**ArrichMer** · 04-09-2008, 09:49 PM

I always really liked her a lot. And missed her when she had to go through the infection. Hope she is happy!

**Anamehuskeene** · 04-09-2008, 09:51 PM

best wishes to her. She never regained her health, it seemed.

**trowUrillioth** · 04-09-2008, 09:58 PM

Best of luck to her.

**BuyCheapest** · 04-09-2008, 10:06 PM

Godspeed, Alicia.

I'm sure she'll have a job in Australian commentating waiting.

**indianstory** · 04-09-2008, 10:08 PM

Godspeed, Alicia.

Oh great, now she's died.

**nitivearchit** · 04-09-2008, 10:09 PM

Oh great, now she's died.

Who was driving the bus?

**indianstory** · 04-09-2008, 10:09 PM

Who was driving the bus?

nelslus. As always.

**BuyCheapest** · 04-09-2008, 10:14 PM

Oh great, now she's died.

Huh? That's like a wish for good luck.

**indianstory** · 04-09-2008, 10:14 PM

Huh? That's like a wish for good luck.

Yeah. In heaven!

**Emunsesoxmete** · 04-09-2008, 10:16 PM

Too bad she could never get back to her top form. Good luck in your post-tennis career, Alicia.

**Ikrleprl** · 04-09-2008, 10:22 PM

That virus Alicia has destroyed her career, which is so sad to see as she was such a talent and a great all around player. For me personally, she's the other half of the only match I have ever given up complete hope of Lindsay winning, the 2005 AO quarterfinal, Alicia was the cause of my premature gray hairs.

Bless her and her future, at least she'll always have her good memories to out weight the bad ones.

**pongeystrhjst** · 04-09-2008, 10:39 PM

Hopefully, Alicia will have a nice post-tennis career as her ear infection stunted her tennis development.

**huylibizonoff** · 04-09-2008, 10:41 PM

HEY- she got two Slam doubles titles. That'll always impress me.

Best wishes to her.

**Andoror** · 04-09-2008, 10:43 PM

I will miss Alicia

**Buildityrit** · 04-09-2008, 10:45 PM

Allez, Alicia!

**seodiary** · 04-09-2008, 10:58 PM

Alicia will be missed, but it sounds like she's happy. Best of luck in her future endeavors!
