It's disspointing that she was not able to finish the season out liked she said she would. Her retiring at the end of the season was hard to hear but now even earlier than previsouly thought is a shame. But at least she is happy

I feel a bit sorry for her... she could accomplish so much more. I hope she'll decide to come back, but I don't know....

I really don't think she'll come back because once a player has lost his/her hunger to win, it's enormously difficult to get it back. I think Kim announced her retirement too early, she was already concentrating on other things during 2006 and 2007.

Kim will not come back. She retired mentally and emotionally a while back. She lost her will to fight, and hunger to compete. Getting that back is nearly impossible. It's rather unfortunate, as she had the game to win more than she did. She had so many chances that she squandered, and would surely get many more. I can't help but get the feeling that she will look back on her career and regret never seeming to care about tennis as much as other players.

I do wish her the best though. She was one of the best champions in tennis.
