Re: Tennis Random, Random
After seeing a sudden single success of first Stosur and now Krejcikova (to lesser degree Mladenovic and Garcia) I wonder if there are more so called doubles specialists which ought to concentrate on singles seriously.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
What? He has a foot or leg injury from yesterday's match. Why are you making this kind of leap?

Because I had not heard that he had that injury. That would be understandable, then.

Please God no. That's a true miscalculation of her popularity and likability.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
I find it very unfortunate that singles and doubles success are seen as being mutually exclusive now, with players giving up doubles to "concentrate on singles". It's bizarre, because doubles is actually less taxing today with the no-ad scoring, 'super tiebreak' 3rd set, etc., in the majority of tournaments, than it was 30, 40 years ago.
Perhaps Navratilova should have a talk with the current generation, and encourage them to keep going in both disciplines.
Well... Umm...
Uhh...

It makes me wonder if this is a comment on Genie Bouchard or a comment on The Tennis Channel.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
That's an unusually early end to a career these days. She'll be 30 in December. All the best of course.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Yes, Caro retired after Aussie Open last year, so I think she was 29 at the time.
For Kiki. I think this recent injury and bouncing back has taken a lot out of her.
And along with other considerations, I am now thinking more and more about what Kerber said about friends on tour retiring. Could very well be a factor for Kiki as well, a few of her closest friends have bid farewell to the tour in the last couple of years.

A player that was a bit incognito for me. The few times I saw her, it was nice. But it was very few times.
The best for her.
The best for her.

Yes, but that also was much sooner than most. I think the average is more like 32-33 these days.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
I'm guessing you're right, but we've had several bigger names that have been a bit younger than that recently. Aga, Julia, Domi, and Ana come to mind in addition to Caro.
