I love, and have a huge amount of respect for Jon. But there are moments when his grammar leaves you wishing SI would hire a personal proofreader for him.

This sentence means (at least) two different things, depending on the placement of the comma.

• Having withdrawn before her second rounder with a dodgy knee, Lindsay Davenport might retire, having won her final match at Wimbledon. How many other players can say that?

So does he mean she won't be back to Wimbledon, but can say she won her last match there?

Or does he mean she is re-retiring, and she can say she won her final match, which occurred at Wimbledon?

I would read that to mean that she might be finished for good, as in the latter of your two scenarios.

Same here, she's done - that she played and won her last match at Wimbledon. Then he goes and throws in "might."

While I won't comment on the comma, I can say that Lindsay was pretty candid in her BBC interviews. She basically all but said that she'd be done at the end of the year.

Expect a California hard court event, the Olympics, and the Open.

Maybe Bali if she's got frequent flyer miles lying around.

I'm watching to see if she makes her scheduled play with WTT - Thursday and Saturday this week.

I read it as version two, but with emphasis on might.

I think the comma's actually in the right place in either case, but the order of phrases is confusing.

I'm assuming he meant that's her final match at Wimbledon.

She still sounds hellbent on playing the Olympics.

She's all for honoring commitments but this one seems like a no go. Why risk it with her sole reason for coming back, the Olympics, mere weeks away?

I don't think anyone expects her to come back after this year. Thank goodness I buried and mourned her a year and a half ago.

Let me put it this way. If we're still talking about Lindsay as active player this time next year i would be very surprised. From most of the stuff Lindsay has been say in press conferences lately I think she will play her last career matches at the US Open with a retirement announcement. coming not long after. I will really miss her too.

Re-retiring before Wimbledon rolls around again - agree that it will most likely be after the US Open, so she will have won her final Wimbledon match (but not necessarily would that be her final match.)
