Where's Esther Vergeer at the 2013 AO?

Leelord337 · 01-24-2013, 09:21 PM

She has something over 500 straight wins in women's wheelchair tennis..and I was shocked that she wasn't competing this year at the Aussie Open. Does anybody have any news if she is injured or what? Can't find anything on it..

As far as I know she has taken a break from tennis.

Leelord337 · 01-26-2013, 10:05 PM

I know she married her long time (abled) coach recently...maybe going to have kids? idk

Was wondering as well when i read someone else won the women's singles in wheelchair tennis.

Well according to her twitter account she said she's at a little tournament by the JCfoundation? but "not as a player but as a coach"...not sure if this means she retired?

Maybe ASH SMITH knows as he is coaching the British kids at Tarbes?
Looks like she is out there coaching...

According to this Dutch news article, she's been on a hiatus since winning gold at the 2012 Paralympics:
