First, my thanks to Gallofa for giving us the good news of the Indian Wells tournament with Daniela.

Martina has also entered the Kroger St. Jude event in Memphis where she will play with Liezel Horn-Huber.

I wish them all the best! And want to thank Martina for giving her fans the opportunity to see her one more year!!

Go Martina!

 

[Adrian]

Yeah Go Martina and Liezel...when is this tournament?


(I hope martina takes a regular partner though, want to see her at the season ending )

 

[Mateo Mathieu]

What?!

Liezel and Martina together!! Liezel is my favourite doubles player!!

Best of luck to Liezel and Martina!! I hope they win the tournament!!

 

[Zummi]

Adrian, I don't care about the season-ending too much. I want Martina to have fun this year. She tried making the final 8 last year and hated every minute of those final weeks when she & Arantxa were under so much pressure to qualify. She doesn't need that kind of pressure anymore. Now is the time to enjoy the tennis & appreciate every moment. That is what she is trying to do, I think

PS: the tournament is in 3 weeks time!

 

[Adrian]

Thanks Zummi


Actually, maybe not worring about the season ending, will be better for her....


I heard somewhere she was was going to kick off in France, but heck, it's only 2 weeks later

 

[Philbo]

Excellent... Another chance to see the old girl go round one more time...

 

[anton]

is Martina also playing the singles?

 

[jd4eva]

No, I don't think Martina is playing singles.

The current top 4 seeds are:

1 - Jelena Dokic (YUG)
2 - Silvia Farina-Elia (ITA)
3 - Amanda Coetzer (RSA)
4 - Lisa Raymond (USA)

 

[anton]

the tournament director is hoping the Dubai event will be cancelled and Venus and Monica will then play as well.

 

[Rollo]

You can bet this will help attendence. Marti just made one tournament director a happy camper

 

[Bright Red]

Martina N. please retire. What more can you do? You are the all-time greatest, but enough already.

 

[anton]

I think she may be getting paid to be there.
He paid Agassi a reported $300,000 for a 50 minutes loss to Guga.

 

[essielewis]

With a line up like this, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the promoter paid Martina to play. She would be the biggest name there, for sure.

Andre Agassi usually gets $300,000 or more to play in small tournaments. In my opinion, WHY NOT? He's famous so why shouldn't he?

I seriously doubt Martina is going to get $300K.

Hey that's really cool! Liezel is one of my fave players! I hope they can have a good tourney!
