Yes and I can never see it changing, just doesnt seem very fair to me.

MMB

Discrimination, racism, ... none is 'fair' at all. But what does it solve when you keep venting and pouting about it? Nothing, on the contrary. You just have to focus on the good things in life and society, cause in the end the good things will prevail and make you happy.


I'm really curious to see what the future will hold for both Serena and Venus. Venus keeps being bothered by (small) injuries and Serena keeps postponing her return. I don't like it ...

ForeverInLoveWithJus

Its crazy and getting ridiculous now. I hope Venus returns soon.

MMB

Where is Venus anyway currently in the Overall Ranking? Top 20 somewhere?

If Serena doesn't come back soon, she'll drop out of the Top 10 and if Venus doesn't come back soon, she'll drop out of the Top 20!

Elke Clijsters, the younger sister of Kim Clijsters also participated in the single competition and the doubles competition (with big sister) at the Diamon Games in Antwerp, Belgium.
After her participation she climbed 209 spots on the world ranking to #273!

Also don't forget about Kirsten Flipkens, the Belgian youngster who proved herself already in major youth tournaments by beating all of the competition. Kirsten is currently resting due to wrist surgery.

With Elke, Kirsten, Justine & Kim, the Belgian tennis future has never looked this bright!

Its looking good for the Belgian game! I really hope the Williams sisters can return, it isnt the same without them.

MMB

Yes, the tiny country is roaring and making it's voice heard! And I love it

I also hope Venus and Serena can and want to come back as soon as possible. Of course it isn't the same without them. We went from 4 top contenders to only 2 ... it's natural quite some excitement got lost ...

ForeverInLoveWithJus

I think thats what the womens game needs. I enjoyed watching the Williams sisters, it isnt the same anymore. I lost a lot of interest in tennis when they havent been playing so much.
