we don't know what was really wrong with her. i'm sure she realized that the world was watching and she would get a lot of heat for retiring. she's always been a fighter and a hard worker on the court. that's why she is so popular. so she must have been feeling SOMETHING to make her throw it all away by retiring. her reputation, her, fanbase, her standing in the game, her chance at a major . . . .
i mean, she's no dummy. this will be one of the most talked about tennis moments of the year (and beyond, perhaps). already her 'fans' on this board have thrown her to the dogs (with friends like that, who needs enemies)! no sane person would choose to put themselves through all this s**t without a good reason.
all credit to mauresmo. you finally did it, girly! kudos!
