Love your strawman argument. How long have Nadal and Djokovic played?

Sounds like you needed to train harder and it wouldn’t have been so grueling, and you might have been of significance.

She can always play in the JTA.

Naomi Osaka actually went pro in 2013...on tour for 8 years now.

I did okay...actually went to the same high school as the number one player in the world (in doubles) back in the day.

I agree that Naomi Osaka will be back. I hope so - she's a fabulous player.

How old was Seles when she “burned out?”

If she builds up her sensitive feelings she’ll be back. No big loss either way.

Yep, made her money and turned martyr.

In other words, you were nothing of significance but you went to the same high school as someone who is, lol.

It didn't help that this deranged fan stabbed Monica Seles to get rid of competition against Steffi Graf!

Excellent attempt at deflection. How old was Seles when she “burned out?”

I won my share of tournaments...more of a singles player though...not number one in the world but did okay. Tennis is not as easy as you think...especially at the top levels. Is a little like gymnastics where youth is at a premium with year round constant training and pressure with minimal time off.

If you were anything of significance you would’ve posted it. You’re obviously living in the past with no tennis career anywhere near anything of significance.

How old was Seles when she “burnt out”?

Love the jealous assumption. She’s proven to be weak and is sitting somewhere playing the martyr. She’s no big loss.
