Kim is considering to stop playing doubles at all.

Her shoulder played up once and a while over the last 2 years and surgery will not help, the only thinks she can do is take periods of rest throughout the year.

That's also way she will probably not play in Antwerp

How sad

But hey, it's good that she wil focus on singles. Doubles aren't that important when you're a top-5 singles player...
I hope the arm will be better soon!!

She'd better not play doubles than

She's way too young to have this kind of injury!!!

if it isn`t good for her then she should quit it, and only concentrate on singles and take rest when she needs it.<P>I hope her arm recovers soon!

A wise decision by Kim; after all, she can always change her mind in future if her shoulder improves.

I also feel relieved for Ai, who is now free to find a different partner! Two Slams in a row being left in the lurch, that has been quite a blow for this former #1 doubles player.

Best of luck to both Kim and Ai!

I'm happy Kim took her responsibility

It's official now; she will not play in Antwerp

 

[arn]

and it's 100% sure she will not play doubles again this year!

I wonder who will be Ai's new partner.
