I'll go with a live announcement by either Pam or Mary Jo.

Ditto!!!

If Venus is really pulling out, the women's field will be a disaster.....

No kidding!

Technical Difficulties!!!

Geezes!

I'm trying hard, realy hard to chill out!

I don't see why Tennis Week would pull such a hoax and undermine their reputation.

I'm tryin' too!


If it's a rumor or whatever,
Media outlets in their attempt to be the first to break something
get either the wrong info or notcomplete info.

Pam and Mary Jo have said...nothing yet.
This is big news so if it were offical they'd say something
like they had some bad news to report at the top.

Come on now, it is not Darla's fault

check out www.tennisweek.com

it is right there on their front page.....

I know we dont want Venus out of the Open, but we will just have to wait and see what the other media groups report

I've been checking around and no other media outlet has mentioned anything about Venus pulling out. The BBC wire is the only place I've found that is talking about Venus and it says while she's not 100% she is going to play and that Serena will be in the stands cheering her on.

I won't be critical of darla but you have to admit it is suspicious,
considering no other outlet has said anything on this "Big news" and that this is her first post and this is what we get. Hmm...

I dont, but that is not likely. But if it is, then the story is most likely 100% accurate Tennisweek is a world renowned publication in the the sport. Go to any ATP/WTA tourney, and you will see their booth their. They are usually the 1st to break news in the sport.

Well it seems that this time in their attempt to be the "first"
they've not gotten the right or complete info.

I can see not getting the date right,
but they didn't even get the injury right.
Last I heard it was her abdominal muscle not her groin.

Born yesterday ? Check little bit of AO history...
So 1 & 2 players (in real world) out , maybe. Big deal, it is more interesting if there isn´t one or two that dominate/destroy all others. ie. Navratilova - Evert, good matches between them but there is more depth now and growing all time.

Tell the sponsors that when they see the ratings!
