It's so funny you asked this. She was feeling and moving fine while she was ahead but as soon as Anna got that second break she called for the trainer. I knew she was going to retire as soon as she called the trainer. She was just mad cause Anna had more game that her today.
I think she also got nervous because she new she would get plastered by Justine tomorrow. tsk tsk tsk too bad to I really wanted to see Justine whoop her again. Oh well. I guess I will have to settle for Justine taking back that loss from Bartoli.
Oh and I forgot first she was blaming the raquet then when she couldn't blame the raquet anymore it was her knee. What bull. Go Anna

Actually, I hadn't notice that she seems to get injured when losing a match. She's gotten plastered by Henin and other players this year, while blaming her misfortunes on injury, she didn't quit the match.
I was also very disappointed that she was injured again. I think my disappointment came from is that she knew she was not 100%, but she was talking so positively before the tournament started. I think that she should have skipped this tournament and allowed a healthier person to take her place.
I'm a Serena fan, but this latest episode left a bad taste in my mouth.

australian open 2007 final,serena williams at her best.no injuries and thrashed maria,which she did again in miami.we all know serena is a loud mouth but there's no way she pretends to be injured.if serena wasnt injured last night even after the set she lost she would have faught,so she only quits a match if she's injured,which she was and reinjured her left knee which she's had so much problems with in the past.venus is the best though.

She has also lost a few times to other players like Justine even when she hasn't been injured but it seems to me that in the last 5 years or so she is much more prone to injury than she used to. Makes me wonder if there is a problem with the way she trains now.

I think there is the tendency for many players who were #1 to have difficulty in accepting that others have moved ahead. I'm sure Sarenna struggles with this as well as the belief that if she would only play at 100% level, then she'd still beat everyone. I wouldn't say that her time is over, but she can't expect players to roll over just because she hits big shots.
The hardest thing for any champion in sports to do is to lose gracefully.

You people are crazy you spoiled brats. First off you can't even spell spoiled. Second Serena is by far the most fun person to watch, she is so determained. And she only looses a match when she is injured which means that if she was not injured, then she kick everyone's butt. There should be one Venus and one Serena you spoiled nerds.

serena gets injured very easily and some people are less pain tolerant than others so I think it's good she decides to pull out instead of ignoring injuries. it was a tight match anyways so why would she pull out if she was healthy.

Of the 2 sisters, you are right - Serena is one more spoilt! However sportmanship wise - not too glaring as there are many other players too who will employ such tactics to 'buy' more time?

Woman's tennis would be boring as hell without the Williams sisters, just as it was before they went pro. Besides if they get out of the game who would you haters have to hate on then ???

actually both sisters are the same, jackasses//// however rumor has it they are getting ready to quit tennis to pursue something else. venus wants to write a book called "I'm so dizzy" and serena will be starring in a movie to be released in the spring called "Queen Kong" that's right she plays the beast and see her in the end climb to the top of the golden arches at Mickey d's with johnny mac under her arm screaming "you can't be serious"//
