Roland Garros will be the last singles event in the career of Anabel Medina Garrigues, a Spaniard who reached #16 in the rankings five years ago and won 11 tour-level titles. She won her first round qualifying match today, only her third win in her last 15 matches, a struggle that dates back to last September. She’ll continue to play doubles.

How about the pathetic Neil Harman tweet implying Woz breakup is somehow on the same planet of sadness as Baltacha dying of Cancer at age 30 ??
