just before her match with Justine :rolleyes:

Take a look at the following excerpt from this article published yesterday on Yahoo sports:

"She pulled out of every event in the 1 1/2 months since spraining a ligament in her left thumb at Wimbledon, and while that hand is fine now, her father indicated something else is wrong.

"Serena has a few problems that we haven't talked to no one about," Richard Williams said, but wouldn't elaborate. "I think she's done a marvelous job of hiding it. Extremely marvelous."

When Serena is on the court, there's no protective tape on her left thumb or anywhere else, although there was a Band-Aid wrapped around a toe when she walked out of her news conference in flip-flops.

Asked whether something was affecting her physically, Serena replied: "I would be the last person to tell you, just in case Justine or Safina reads it, and they're like, 'Uh, I know what to do."'

Her two-fisted backhand was off and her footwork was slow at the start against the 10th-seeded Bartoli, who broke in the first game and went up 2-0 with two aces. Then Serena snapped-to, breaking back to 2-2, and again for a 5-3 lead when she sprinted to reach a drop shot and swatted a cross-court backhand winner"


How convenient is that? roflmao roflmao :doh: :doh:

You actually trying to stir here QJ....theres nothing official there saying she is injurred and you should know better than to worry about Richard Williams!

:tsk: I'm only posting what I saw from another board .... that's all :shrug:

Fair enough but its also like you taking a stab at her for no reason.Lets just watch the match and then we can debate about it afterwards.Is that cool with you?

Of course :ok:

I doubt either of the players would think that. :rolleyes:
