If the Sony Ericsson players are smart, then they know better than to make New Year's resolutions. But if they're going to make them, here are the ones I wish they would make:
Maria Sharapova: "I will be treated by a whole new team of doctors, some of whom will actually know how to look at x-rays."
Jelena Jankovic: "I will shut up about being number 1 and just win a major (I promise, however, not to shut up about anything else)."
Patty Schnyder: "I will seek the services of a hypnotherapist ten years ago--wait--now--I'll do it right now..."
Laura Robson: "I will ignore all the stupid adults who tell me to be careful what I say."
Ana Ivanovic: "I will stop striking child porn poses for magazines and websites."
Daniela Hantuchova: "I'll take the appointment right after Patty's, thank you."
Venus Williams: "Despite what my sister says, I won't be around forever, and I will increase--not shy away from--my feminist activism on the tour so others will learn to emulate me."
Anna Chakvetadze: "I will consider the possibility that I really was traumatized by the break-in and attack."
Serena Williams: "I will not sulk for more than a few moments when I lose."
Svetlana Kuznetsova: "Are Patty and Dani out of there yet?"
Lindsay Davenport: "I will use the "r" word.
Elena Dementieva: "I will learn why people think freedom of the press is a big deal."
Dinara Safina: "I will not play myself into the ground and burn out."
Olga Govortsova: "I will find Edina and make her my doubles partner again."
Marion Bartoli: "I will get a new coach."
Agnieszka Radwanska: "I will volley, just for the hell of it."
Elena Gallovits: "Where's Olga?"
Sabine Lisicki: "I will learn to think and hit the ball at the same time."
Tamira Paszek: "I will find some kind of consistency in training and coaching."
Flavia Pennetta: "I will believe."
Vera Zvonareva: "What Flavia said."

I would love to see Lindsay use the R word sometime this year. I will miss her when she's gone but she has a great career as a commentator ahead of her if she wants it or she could be a full time stay home mum.
Bethanie Mattek: "I'll continue to make everyone, including myself, wonder why I didn't give substance equal footing with style years ago." ;)
Great list:-) I wonder what Elena said about freedom of the press?
Great list. Of course, I like the Jelena Jankovic one the most, especially the "I promise, however, not to shut up about anything else" part.
Vicki, I never thought I would say this, but I'll be glad to see Lindsay go. She has gotten on my nerves in the last couple of years. I would just as soon not have her as a commentator, either, but we could have worse.
Nice addition, Todd. I welcome additions!
Nina, Dementieva is a passionate supporter of and apologist for Putin.
Marija, I doubt if Jelena will be tempted to shut up about anything!
