Maybe she is going to take care of her sister's dogs so they don't eat anymore employees, or help her father's "management" company with contract negotiations.
Adios, Big Bird.

Without a doubt attitude wise she's slightly better than Serena. Too bad couldn't witness myself Sharapova going to kick her *** on upcoming FO.

Maid? This is far more believable, eh? Internet Thief Claims Venus Williams Wants To Eat His Head

Serial plaintiff and convicted online ID thief Jonathan Lee Riches has launched a claim against the U.S. Open and tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams.

Proving that anyone really can file a lawsuit, serial plaintiff and convicted online ID thief Jonathan Lee Riches has launched a claim against the U.S. Open and tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams.
In handwritten papers filed last week in U.S. District Court in Virginia, Riches claims that the tennis balls used at the recent U.S. Open in New York were comprised of "electrons and neutrons stolen from my head" and that Venus and Serena Williams "told me they want to eat my head for supper." Riches also says he taught Venus to play table tennis in county jail.

Riches currently resides in federal prison in Salters, South Carolina, where he is serving time for his role in an Internet identity theft scam that lured its victims to a phony AOL site. He has become so infamous for whiling away his days in the slammer by filing outrageous lawsuits that there is now a Wikipedia page devoted to his efforts.

Riches previously sued Michael Vick, claiming the disgraced Atlanta Falcons quarterback helped bring down Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland. He's also filed claims against President Bush for implanting a computer virus in his body and sued the entire Internet for abetting identity theft -- the crime of which he is convicted.

Riches may be an unsuccessful Web scammer, but he's not lacking for imagination. He once sued Barry Bonds, claiming the San Francisco Giants' slugger used Hank Aaron's bat to crack the Liberty Bell.

Riches will have lots of time to dream up more lawsuits. He's not scheduled to be released from prison until 2012. Carlos Fleming, the Williams sisters' agent, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

You got that right - it never happened before

It is like "Safin retired from the practice courts at 22 - still playing in ATP"
The Williams and Safin stopped training in their early 20s. They might compete whenever they get bored of other things, no worries.
LOL

I want to know what grand slam tournament she has withdrawn aside from wrist tendonitis/surgery, abdominal injury, where she has given a reason.

Keep hoping, because you might be a little more disappointed than Hewitt getting his ticket out of the ATP by several journeymen, or is he there already?

Yeah i'm hoping and still hoping for Hewitt. He won't dissapointed his own fanatic supporter

. He won't just give up like that. Too early for him to retire. Target to be Top 10.

Sure as a fanatic fan to another, we can only wish the best for our players. At the same time, I just hope everyting turns out fine for Venus and she gets back on tour as soon as possible.

I am not agreeing to that bull on your part. If that was the case Hewitt should retire also, with his Bugs Bunny of a wife that many claims to be hot.

You have your opinion and I have mines.

Meaning as a man you don't allow her to retire and get marry to someone out there and to build her own family. If she prefer for retirement you should wish her luck and hoping the best for her.

Basically, I would respond to that comment, but that was too easy. Whatever Venus decides to do I wish her the best, she will be in the hall of fame no matter what happens.
