When you become number 1 after that initial run - in order to sustain it with all the pressure- I'm not sure many find it "fun." If she feels she needs to step away for a while great for her. Many players step away - and some never come back. Step away is great for the reasons she cited. There is Agassi's autobiography in which he stated he despised tennis. And called the sport an extremely lonely one. Chris Evert also spoke of loneliness on the tour and marrying John Lloyd because of it. Tennis is a brutal sport. Nothing wrong for a champion to step away. [/QUOTE]
