BLAKE Retires From Tennis

Sure hope spending 15 years just hanging out with the white guys was well worth it as opposed to making up his mind to defeat them at GS.

LOL. Vee clearly won't miss James.

Q. You heard of course that James Blake today announced his retirement. What are your thoughts on what he has meant to the sport?

VENUS WILLIAMS: You know, James, obviously the US Open was a special place for him. I understand how he would want to end here. You know, I think he still has, you know, a lot of great tennis in him, but he's decided that now is the time for him. He has a family now, so those are important priorities from what I hear. He's ready, so all we can do is support him. Hopefully he will be able to contribute to tennis outside of the game, outside of playing pro tennis, in whichever way he chooses.

Q. What have you admired most about him during his career?

VENUS WILLIAMS: What I admired period about him was how he gave back, you know, obviously using his tennis career and celebrity to give back, especially to cancer because his dad passed. And also the excitement he brought to the game. I think he brought a lot of people into tennis. It's always great and also sad to lose someone who helps grow the game. People are always interested in James, so that's what I'm going to miss.

Venus needed to hold hands with JB and retire at the same time. Her retirement is long overdue.

Too funny that he married a woman no white guy on the tour would marry because they'd consider her too old.

Grosse is white in the skin and black in thought. I understand why you will give in to anger HammerDown, but "an ignorant, racist piece of shit?" Come on.

I take umbrage to this, actually.

LOL. According to Sloanie, James is an amazing player, husband, father and friend. Talk about fake.
