    What Happened to Women in Tennis?

    Sunday, August 31, 2008, 06:46 PM EST [WTA]

    Justine Henin and Kim Clysters retire and  the WTA is in chaos.  There seems to be nothing left but a bunch of chokers who operate better off the radar than ranked number one. 

    Maria Sharapova gets ranked number one and then she can't win a major and eventually gets injured.  The injury could end her career.  Mauresmo tries to hold on to number one for a few weeks and she now can't even reach a semi-final of a major.  Is she even ranked in the top ten today?

    The gorgeous Ana Ivanovic hits number one and then hits the skids.  She can't even get to a quarter-final in a major tourney.

    The Williams sisters would be ranked one and two if only they were interested and they interest lay in movies, design, modeling, and just being a celeb.

    What happened to the days when Everett or Navratilova held on to the top ranks for years and dominated their opponents.  Ditto for Graf, Seles, and even Hingis.  What a sad state of affairs.  At least the WTA could get Anna Kournikova back in the mix.  She would at least give them something to talk about.
