I just learned that one of my favorite players in the WTA tour, Sybille Bammer from Austria has decided to retire this week after Bad Gastein. I remember her very well because she's one of the few players I know who has a 2-0 win-loss record against Serena Williams! Yeah, you read that right, the mighty Serena! Even Sybille does not know how she did that - but she did! I was really happy for her when she reached the quarters in the US Open in 2008 and she has also won two WTA titles. I also remember her having to travel with her daughter while she played - I think she's the first mother to win a WTA title! Of course now, Kim Clijsters has taken it a step further by being the first mother to win a Grand Slam!
Anyhow, thanks for all the great memories Sybille and we'll miss you!
