Dementieva retires, loss today was her last match of her career!

She obviously had made up her mind to do this with the way it seems like all the players were with her for this. Can't say it was a bad decision. Her career was in a rut and you have to think she was tired of trying to figure out how to serve. Bye bye hot stuff.

Yes, that is Elena!

I was surprised when I first heard this. She wasn't winning tournaments, but it's not like she was sucking. She's still a lot better than a bunch of the other women out there.

I think she's just mentally beat down. I don't know that a comeback is in the cards for her. Say she takes just a year off. She's 30 and rusty at that point ... she's not a Justine Henin or Kim Clijsters who both retired early in their careers and conceivable are as good or BETTER than before they retired. I think we've seen the last of her in WTA.

She won't come back imo, that's it for her, and I think she's at ease with it too.

Good luck to her.

Join the WTA and then quit?

Goodbye Elena. I'll miss backing her. She was a solid Top 10 player for a long time and went out while still an elite player.
