I would say top 20, definitely not top 10. She could have been in the
top 10 but chose not to.

Federer pays tribute to retired Henin
12 hours ago

HAMBURG, Germany (AFP) — World number one Roger Federer admitted the
tennis community were shocked to hear on Wednesday top-ranked female
Justine Henin had announced her retirement with immediate effect.

Federer, who is in the third round of the Hamburg Masters Series here,
said he was stunned to hear Henin, who has won seven Grand Slam titles
and nearly 20 million dollars in prize-money, had announced her
retirement in Belgium.

Henin, 25, withdrew from this week's WTA tournament in Rome, but
Federer says her announcement has stunned the tennis world, especially
as she has won at Roland Garros, which starts in less than a
fortnight, for the last three years.

"I have only just heard, but it is a shock for the tennis world,
especially as she is number one at the moment," said 26-year-old
Federer.

"I am sure she has her reasons, but it's particularly surprising as
it's only a few weeks before Roland Garros, where she has had so much
success, and Wimbledon is later this summer, which she has never won.

Never would have thought. When was the last time a world No.1 retired.
This is shocking.

Let's take:

Graf/Parche vs. Seles/Joker

would be really interesting. Who would win? What do you think?

That's quite interesting! What do you think?

?????'

CAR TROUBLE

died.
After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly
She says, 'What's the story?'
He replies, 'Just crap in the carburetor'
She asks, 'How often do I have to do that?'

SPEEDING TICKET
A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely
if he could see her license.
She replied in a huff, 'I wish you guys would get your act together.
Just yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect me
to show it to you!'

GOP Stunned By Loss in Mississippi
By Reid Wilson

In a major blow to national Republicans, a Mississippi congressional
seat that once voted for President Bush by a twenty-five point margin
elected a Democrat on Tuesday. Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis
Childers beat out Republican candidate Greg Davis, the mayor of
Southaven, by a 54%%-46%% margin, a spread that several Republican
strategists on Capitol Hill characterized as a startling wake-up call
for a party in dire straits.
