adios burdette!

While we have heard different thoughts on Burdette, I'm curious to know what you guys think of Allie Will's decision to skip her senior season. Her current ranking is in the #600s.

She's in the 400's actually: http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/...erid=100067623

I've said previously that I think Allie jumped the gun. Apparently, she promised her family that she would finish up with school, but she felt the timing was right to turn pro now.

I don't get it. She hadn't won anything to brag about in the pros yet and she doesn't look "pro-ready". I hope for the best for Allie, but another year at UF would've been more beneficial than being off the tour would have hurt. Even taking the fall off would've been a better move to get tour experience and still finish her degree.

Nothing wrong with hard work. Gives life more meaning.

Less work gives more time to think about life's meaning

Do you have any new scientific information you can share with us about fertility rates by age, the correlations of various birth defects with the ages of the father and mother, and so on? Or is your position that you wish all this were not true, so you will deny it?

That's right. As a woman, it is her duty to get married and bear many children to replenish the population after the Second American Civil War. Her career is a distant second.

I didn't think you could resist this thread and the direction it was heading.

All women want to bear children. it is in their genetic makeup and evolutionary instinct. and take care of their children and feed them their milk. It is in the genes.

Congrats to Burdette for making it through 3 rounds of qualifying into the main draw of the WTA event in Linz, Austria.

She beat the world #58 and top seed in qualifying, Begu, in the final round of qualies and beat the #109 in the first round.

Keep it up Mallory!

Go College Tennis!

I looked at the stats. Looked like she returned serve very well on a mediocre serving day for herself. Tight match that was a couple points here and there. Impressive mental battle!

[db379]

Yes, she is playing great at the moment. Saw her play her match today and she can hang in there and beat some strong WTA players. When i think she was playing the NCAAs just a few months ago, I am really impressed by her mental strength and her attitude on the court. Well done!

OMG. Just saw this. I know of several women that find this sexist. Boy, does this post sound like it came from a "Standford" grad.
