2008-02-05 04:11:00
It is being "reported" that Serena has withdrawn from the Proximus Diamond Games in Antwerp. This information is being obtained from http://www.sport.be/proximusdiamondgames/2008/nl/. I inserted the following dutch text (in its original form) into an online translator service. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS AN ONLINE (AND NOT HUMAN) TRANSLATION THEREFORE THE TRANSLATION IS NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT. The news is disheartening (because I love to see Serena in action) but life happens. Serena, I'm wishing you a safe and speedy recovery. Get well soon. Have a safe, enjoyable and productive day.

Serena's run is over...... (sad)
2008-01-21 21:43:00
Serena has lost her Quarter-Final match to Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 6-4. Serena's serve was totally off, just gone, on vacation, couldn't buy one. Errors were in abundance also. There were too many second serves and she just seemed to be "off." A clip of Serena practicing (before the match) was shown and she looked very frustrated and unhappy, even repeatedly banging her racket into the court. I pray that Serena is ok and resolves whatever is going on. She's still a champion and I wish her well in Doubles and her next tournament! ...
