At the time I thought it odd when Venus went out east to win some cheap points in some very ordinary tournaments merely in order to crawl into the line up for Madrid.
A kind of justice that she couldn´t make it but Serena did take her place knowing full well she was crocked. Why deprive somene else of a place?
Null point, Serena.Not even for allowing Bartoli to walk into a barn door of a Belgian with little chance of showing what she can do further in the competition.
