Venus Refuses to Give Excuses on Her Paris Loss
Venus
Williams refused to indulge in any form of self-pity as her dubious
fitness, compromised after being diagnosed last September with Sjogren's
Syndrome, contributed to a second round French Open exit.
“Obviously it's frustrating at times. I don't know if there's anything
mental more I can do at this point, but there's a lot of stages to go
through with this kind of thing. I'm still playing a professional
sport, so I have to be very positive. And I'm going to have ups and
downs. I hope I never get to the ‘Why me.’ I'm not allowed to feel
sorry for myself.”
Haas
is Not Ready to Retire
Tommy
Haas is showing that over-30 tennis can thrive in today's game, with the
German using his experience to advance at the French Open. The
33-year-old father of an 18-month-old daughter and ranked No. 112 said
there is no reason he cannot continue for a few more seasons as well
Bartoli & French Federation to Begin Talks
Marion
Bartoli and the French Tennis Federation (FFT) might be ready to start
mending fences.
Under
current rules, a player must maker herself available for Fed Cup for two
ties during the two years prior to the Games. Bartoli has not made
herself available under those circumstances. The FFT has said it will
not change its team rules just to suit one player.
Williams Says Her Health Will Determine Her Olympic Schedule
Venus
Williams said that her health will decide if she can play two doubles
events at the London Olympics, with the 2008 Beijing gold medalist
hoping to team successfully with sister Serena in that event.
"I have
to see and see what I'm elected for. Maybe doubles and mixed is better
for me. For me, any medal in any event, even if it was the javelin,
that's a medal."
