The WTA tour doesn't care much about thier players health, and would like to see all of the top players rack up frequent flyer miles playing event after event, shine brightly for a few years, then fade into the sunset only to be replaced by the next generation.

I for one applaud the players that generate interest in tennis (the tour) and get what they want (majors).

Martina Hingis was one of the few players who was able to play week in and week out, and still achieve her career dreams.


Todays cash cows

Anna Kournikova - You see her face on several tournament web pages, but when's the last time she's played a tour event?

Kim Cljisters- The tour must be happy to see her at the top of the rankings, sure she's not winning majors, but she shows up every damn week

Dokic- What's not to like a hottie who plays close to 40 tournaments a year.

WTA=greed

their next t-shirt will be green and say "get in touch with your greedy side"

The term "Cow" is merely a figure of speech, and is not intended to demean.

...nobody makes them (...especially Dokic...) play that much...

 

[anton]

if kim plays 30 events then serena and venus will be thinking about playing more to even out the playing field. right now they both have 10-13 zeros where kim has 100-300 points...

dokic is another story.

i think it's their decision to play many tour or not. if WTA is greed, why don't they change the rule best 17 to best 25? the players are gonna be play every tournament in every week for sure.

 

[anton]

the ranking right now has no punishment for losing in the first round. that is a mistake right there.

also they cant make it 25 because that would be too obvious...
