Has anyone heard about Karina's plans for next year? Does she plan to continue her play on the tour? In 2000, she only played in 10 WTA tournaments, all which she failed to advance past 2 rounds, resulting in a ranking outside of the top 100. Has anyone heard anything about this talented former top 10 player?

Unfortunately Karina played only 10 maindraw events, but in fact, she actually played 21 in total, but was unable to reach the maindraws through qualifying. She also played several larger challenger events to try and get ranking points and matches aswell.

My personal thoughts are that Karina will continue to play for a couple more seasons most likely, as long as she can maintain a ranking which could get her into the grand slams still and play some other larger events at least in qualifying. I think she still has good tennis in her for sure, and as long as she keeps working on her consistency she will be able to bring back up her ranking. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the replies guys! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> There is no doubt in my mind that Karina has enough talent to be ranked higher than she is, definately top 75 IMO.

Randy, are you ever on ICQ? I miss chattin' with ya.
