Hey Maria,
Looks like a busy schedule to me. I don't know how you can play tennis after flying all the way to Beijing, China from Canada to play in the Olympics. You will need lot's rest time before playing. I made the trip this past Jan and it kicked my ass for several days.

lots of flying...about 13-16 hours from Toronto or Newark to Beijing. How can she pass the time? Can she relax with the design magazines or a supermarket tabloid?

dear maria, whatever your decision, wil just pray that you stay healthy and happy.and continue to win. you will win again. what matters is you give yor best. as always. dont change your persona, no matter what people and frenchmen think. make them change ther minds next year. first, wimbledon and beijing and of course the Rogers Cup. go champion. will accompany you in prayers, as always.

jhenzz Jun 11, 2008 at 11:00

can't wait to see you playing in the court..after not participating in wimbledon..especially in beijing olympics..i wish you a great match there with many competitive athletes,,and hope for you to win the gold medal!

Uh-oh, starting to sounf like a fan again Jun 11, 2008 at 16:41

Is it already common knowledge that not only did she win Wimbledon in '04 (which is her sports greatest achievement), but that she lost to the eventual champ each of the following times. You can always stand by your own merit, Maria. Just go out there with fun and focus.

Maria,
I wish you the best luck on the busy shchedule upcoming tournaments!!!!!!!
Love,
Wester

Baaaaahhhhh Jun 12, 2008 at 03:14

o.k. guys, I'm desperate. So here goes my top five things I would love to try with Maria.
5. Cleaning out the gutters(O.K., I would be the one on the ladder getting dirty, but you could be down there supporting me with that cherub face glistening in the sunlight)
4. Practising tennis with you 'til the day I beat you one-on-one.(not stealing your thunder 10 days before Wimbledon)
3. Studying electronics with you until the day we literally drive EVERYONE crazy with our knowledge.
2. Partaking some of that fashion sense from you(of course reversing the gender there)
1. Making Snow Angels with you in the middle of winter off the Lake Baakal shoreline.

Mustafa Jun 12, 2008 at 08:22

Well well well.

THis looks quite a big headeche to me to move here and there in between tournaments without any time or rest...

But!!!! THE 2008 CHAMP IS HERE!

LOVE MUSTAFA!

juanpaolo Jun 12, 2008 at 15:35

Tima Jun 13, 2008 at 10:36

Dear Maria I always support you and I wish you to be healthy to play tennis and win tournaments. You already proved you can be No.1 player in the world so there mustn't be any pressure. All fans love you! Good luck!

Oh my, oh my! That's a very busy schedule. First, a Tier I, then, the Olympics, and after that, a Grand Slam! That will surely be a very exhausting trip from one place to another. But i know you can make it, just take enough rest, a'ight Maria. I would like to see you win them all!!! Love ya
