any chance of a decent pic? CorvetteZ51 (talk) 11:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the height and weight according to those listed at the WTAs website. They seem more appropriate. Kaleks 15:15, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone else thin k it's unnecessary to include her mugshot? Agrippina Minor

I agree that it's unnecessary. Tennis expert 05:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing it, if anyone feels strongly about it put it back and we can talk further about it. Agrippina Minor

Where is she now and whats new with her life?>

yeah, bigger question: is she in shape to play tennis? 35 years old. if she comes back now, she might have three or four good years left, and then she could re-retire at 40!! 206.192.35.125 (talk) 19:35, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have started trying to rewrite this article. I'm no expert in tennis players, but I do know this article needs a rewrite. If anyone from WikiProject Tennis could help out that would be great! --Solumeiras ^talk 11:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you thing the article is better without a photo of her in the infobox? --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 17:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The photo appeared out-of-focus and slightly poor quality. Not that it violates
  WP:NFCC, just that if there's no good-quality one, then the infobox should be left blank. --Solumeiras ^talk 18:21, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

Sorry, strongly disagree. "The perfect is the enemy of the good." wikiquote:Voltaire It is much better to have a mediocre photo than no photo. That's really the basis of the whole Wikipedia, which, you may remember, starts each article from a tiny stub edited by amateurs. If you can improve it, do so, but if you can't, leave it alone. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 18:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, I get your point. I'm not trying to make an article perfect, but then again, no-one wants an out-of-shot, blurry picture, do they?? Anyway, I'll revert it. --Solumeiras ^talk 19:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a long, ongoing discussion at

This "article" completely ignores her much-publicized, tumultuous drug use! Why isn't this in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 (talk) 10:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded.

Probably left out of the article because she's not the only one to be using drugs. A lot of other pro tennis players on the tour have used drugs. She popped some pills; smoked some weed. What is the point? She takes a dump after dinner, are you going to put that in the article? She got busted by the cops; Was she threatened with hard time? Dont try to make a story, where there is none. 206.192.35.125 (talk) 19:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with OP it is further exposition on why she "took a break" just because "other people were doing it" doesn't discount it as a part of the story.

is that too much to ask ?CorvetteZ51 (talk) 11:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right now we have where she was born, her parents names, and then her rap sheet. Hopefully this could be improved to provide some balance.

I also removed the recent stalking allegation. Maybe wait to see if any charges, ect or brought or how she responds. --Malerooster (talk) 00:08, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
