Neither will ever again be a significant force on the tour. Obviously Anna COULD come back. Look how long Maggie Maleeva was out. But Anna was literally becoming a joke when she stopped playing. In 1998 - 2000, sportswriters and analysts with no other interest in tennis used to comment long and longingly on Anna's looks. In 2001-2002, that had become bad jokes about all time losers. I can't see her returning unless she was SURE she'd be a winner.
Monica's playing team tennis soon. If she tears up that circuit, and suffers no ill effects, she might give the US Open a run. But until I see Monica in a skin tight. form fitting something, I'm not going to beleive in her fitness.

anna got up to 33 in 2002, i believe . she was working on it and she WAS improving . granted, she still had mental issues in GS, but regular tournies she was doing pretty good . then she got injured again . tried to come back . failed miserably
now it seems like she just doesnt care . shes happy and in love . and im sure thats all that matters now
