I that's what i meant, real shame that it's come to this. Women's game is in a poor way at the mo, and it's worse without Justine.
I agree, she was a fantastic player, I think for her it was a mistake coming back at all as her body has not been able to cope with the pressure it is put under playing the game.
The womens game really lacks anyone who is capable of consistent grand slam performances outside of the Williams sisters who themselves can't be far away form packing in. There is barely any rivallries of note and it is tough to predict who will make the QF neve mind the finals when you look at the draw.
So many players over the last three or four years have flattered to decieve, had one or two good tournaments and then plummeted down the rankings. Ivanovic, Jankovic, even Sharapova, all failed to fulfill the promise they have shown in fits and starts.
Looking at the standard of the mens game compared to it, it is almost as though it is a different sport.
