Career Break


We've all seen the slow breakdown Harriet has been having and it got me thinking.  Of all the top Women I think she is the only one that hasn't had an injury that allows her to utilise a PR (Heather may be another one)

It got me thinking how hard it must be for the Players ranked below 50.  They literally have to keep grinding it out year round to maintain any kid of career. Maybe the WTA and ATP could look at allowing 1 6 month non injury related break with a PR.

I've never thought about it before but   

Maybe anywhere from 6 months to a year?
