[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's clearly a flash in the pan wash up.

Just like Andy Roddick was 16 to 18 years ago. Nobody made it some huge deal when Roddick's career quickly fizzled out but with this annoying spoiled brat we all have to coddle her, make it some huge production, change rules, and whip up a dramatic mental health awareness infomercial to scapegoat a loss of fire/talent. There is a flash in the pan male golfer on the PGA Tour literally every 12 to 24 months. [b]I'm tired of hearing about this woman.[/b] She's a washed up attention-craving phony.[/quote]

You saw the title, nobody forced you to open and read this thread. [/quote]

I don't think you can call anyone who has won four major titles and then some in a short amount of time a flash in the pan.

I wonder how much of the pressure to come back quickly is related to how the rankings system works as well as endorsement contracts and feeling obligated to sponsors.

Mental illness is so tough.  If this were a torn ligament or something, there would be lots of experts explaining how much time off she would need.  It is probably difficult for her to know until she gets back in a tournament whether or not she is ready.

I think she is a tremendous talent on the court and off the court, has gone out of her way to be very candid about her struggles.  I wish her well and hope she can find her way back.[/quote]

What do you call golfer David Duval, if you even know who that is? Same sort of flash in the pan career.

Maria Sharapova's career also fizzled out after a couple of years. Then she got caught doping later in her career.
