As u can see in the Asian threads i mixed up Tokyo & Beijing.

SERENA WILL NOT PLAY TOKYO !!! (note, she didn't confirmed China either; just mentioned the Fed Cup in november).

(could this have diplomatic consequences?)

Still, sorry[:$]

No sweat. Frankly, I'll be a little surprised to see her before Fed Cup & YEC. I think she's still burned in Tokyo by the '09 USO pictures. Hey, there are some children of Nippon who want payback for that. [;)]

[quote user="Nella"]If you keep going to fashion shows , like last week in London and wear high heels up to the sky , you will never recover from this so called injury ! Even if not a 100%, she should have gone to Asia and see what the tourny will bring . But no, too lazy to take a flight and too tired to  carry her suitcase. No, forget about the injury , Serena is depressed and needs a shrink !!!!  [:P][/quote]

Can't argue with that last part. I've maintained her mental instability for years--and the USO '09 isn't the last you're gonna see. Averting Serena meltdowns is a constant preoccupation of her handlers & family. This is a danger that comes with the celebrity territory. Elvis? Duh. Unless an individual is very well grounded to begin with, "superstar" comes with a high price.
