Justine Henin's retirement inspires yawns, Part II
Thursday I had a post noting that it took SportsCenter 44 minutes to get around to detailed news of Justine Henin's retirement, which said something about the state of tennis or the state of American interest in non-Americans or both.
In fairness, I later read my trusty Newsday, and we got around to the story 19 pages into our sports section.
Again, I'm not being critical here, just finding it interesting, that's all.

Why are you obsessing over this? Women's tennis hasn't been the same since the days of Graf, Evert and Navratilova. Anna Kournikova is the most famous player today, and not because she plays good tennis. It's over.
If Venus or Serena had retired it would have gotten much better play, dude. Go back to Matt Walsh and leave me alone.
Justin who? Can you please repost that link to Anna K? Pictures too.
How can anyone have interest in a sport that Chris Russo likes?
If you don't have anymore Anna Kounikova pictures, Gabriella Sabatini will do.
Of course ESPN has great tastes in sports programming. Rodeo gets four hours this afternoon on ESPN Classic.
No one in sports history perspired more attractively than Ms. Sabatini did.
I'll take Sharapova's grunts over Sabatini's perspiration anyday.
