Dementieva Retires! :(

I am so sad to learn of this. Yet, at the same time, I love the way Schiavone played her match against her! It's a bitter sweet moment for me.

Ya I'm sad too, she one of the greatest wta player, and well I think it was too early to stop :s

[q. reese]

Yea. In my opinion, she struggled with mentality and a bit with her service. She is very talented; and, in a lot of ways, she reminds me of Davenport. Mentality was their biggest weakness. For some reason, I do believe she will be back. She just needs a mental vacation and time off from getting injured.

That's very sad. I hope the best for her.

Yes. It is. Yet, welcome to the place here man! Good to see a new arrival!
