  3. Venus, Maria, Sveta, and Aga already out for the rest of the season. I would not be surprised if Dinara, JJ and others are going to be following suit. For some reason this season seems to have been especially tough on the women.

    Heres hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel for 2011
