This is weird. I have never posted before, and never saw a box to write in when replying when I tried to post .. so now I'm replying to my blank post .. Anyhow .. I love to read this forum, although never post. I thought I would do now though as there has been some speculation on Fran's retirement. I was watching the match and she was playing well, not much sign of injury .. then after a few minutes not watching, I returned to see she was limping .. essentially it looked like she had a 'dead 'leg' so maybe she had cramp. I didn't notice a trainer on court for a massage, which I thought strange. Aa few games later, she couldn't even jog, so a gentle lob over the net fro her opponent was enough to win the point. I couldn't see why she didn't retire sooner and it seemed she retired during the last probable game. Hope that helps

 Unfortunately Fran seems to suffer from cramps much more often than most players, a side-effect of her EED perhaps?

 Possibly but some people are just more prone to cramps. I know I've mentioned on here before that my Son is one of those.
