And a retirement. Tennis stars do seem to have a life outside of tennis. Lindsay Davenport is retired from tennis and awaiting the birth of her first child. Martina Hingis is engaged to Czech tennis player Radek Stepanek. Justine Henin-Hardenne will probably be dropping the Hardenne from her sirname in light of the rumored break-up of her 4-year marriage. She cancelled her appearance at the Sydney International tournament as well as the Australian Open for "personal reasons". What reason other than marital could be keeping the world's number one away from the first grand slam of 2007? In a break-up of the tennis sort, Lleyton Hewitt's coach Roger Rasheed walked away from Team Hewitt last week following a reported tirade from Lleyton during and after his loss at the Adelaide International last Thursday, going down to 94th-ranked Russian Igor Kunitsyn.
On a happy note, former golf great Greg Norman and former tennis great Chris Evert had gone public with their love affair, walking around Sydney holding hands and no longer repeating the refrain "very, very good friends", but looking to all the world like the 50-something lovers they are.
