Well said. Except that she had reached pre-quarter finals of U.S.Open few years back, there is nothing much to remember. Became famous because of her good look rather than any worth-while performance on tennis court.
She can never win any title on her own but needs anyone to back her. Hope she is not back to continue; a lady with full of attitude nothing else; media & rediff are just hyping her. I do not think she has that stuff for all these hype just apart from unwanted attitude which even could not help her in winning any title.
