Ok, Petra is officially my number 2 fave after Maria (her idol ). JJ dropped to number 3, 'cause she's barely a shade of a tennis player nowadays. I don't even get how she decided to play Bogota that is on clay, and then return to play IW and Miami on hard. Probably figured she can scramble more points there But seriously, if she doesn't win that one, forget it, she can throw her racquet in a dumpster. But anyway, I'm her long term fan, and now it doesn't even feel like she's playing, so a retirement wouldn't really make that much of a difference for me, which is sad and is speaking volumes about her level of play atm. Luckily, by the time she slipped, I became an obsessed fan (as opposed to just being her fan ) of the one and only, our Queen

Oh, and if that is true about Petra's management Although maybe she should train with that PR lady more often, after all she did win Rogers Cup in that period

But now I genuinely feel bad for them and I wouldn't mind them winning (of course I'd always be rooting for Maria above everyone else)

Seems like we're on the same page with this .

But if all that's true about Petra's team/management, then...yikes. What a shame.

If her PR lady is Katie Spellman, I'm pretty sure she was pregnant during that time as well.

I need help with your TF e.stalking skills folks... Do you remember a thread in GM with a very big picture of a player serving (during a practice probably) wearing shorts and a top, but her face wasn't visible and someone asked who it was opening that thread? I remember seeing it some time ago (but I think it was an older post) can't find it anymore

BRADENTON, Fla. - Manatee County deputies arrested Canadian professional tennis player Pierre-Ludovic Duclos-Lanier on Thursday night for attempting to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. He will make his first court appearance this afternoon.
Authorities say Duclos, who as of Friday morning was ranked as the 610 th best men's tennis player in the world, was talking with the girl on her cell phone.
Thursday a Manatee County detective assumed the identity of the girl by using her phone. Investigators say the 27-year-old Duclos, better known as Pierre-Ludovic Duclos, continued to solicit the girl to engage in sex and sent a lewd photo.
Duclos then agreed to pick the victim up at an agreed location and then return to his home to have sex with her. When Duclos showed up to meet the girl, detectives arrested him.
Authorities say during questioning Duclos made a full confession.
"Whenever you have a case like this involving someone who is a coach and is around young people, you investigate whether there could be other victims, and certainly we will here,” said Dave Bristow from the Manatee Co. Sheriff's Office.
Duclos is charged with Use of a Computer to Seduce/Solicit/Entice a Child to Commit Sex Acts, Travel to Seduce/Solicit/Entice a Child to Commit Sex Acts, Transmission of Material Harmful to Minors by Electronic Device or Equipment, and Attempted Lewd and Lascivious Battery.
Duclos is being held without bond at the Manatee County Jail.
On his webpage, Duclos says he’s taking a break from his pro career due to injuries and personal reasons.

What tonight taught me: Lana del Rey as the soundtrack to a hookup = guaranteed success. I urge you all to try it.

I actually wouldn't have anything against that Miami is cursed for her, so while losing there she might as well take that ugly IW trophy (bring back the whale )
