I read about that and I must say I'm dissapointed in Kim! It's so clear she doesn't want to make the effort anymore to train or go to tournaments. If she wants to retire, that's fine as she does get a lot of injuries etc, but she shouldn't go around playing a tournament here or there, not even bothered about winning! She should have stopped after the Diamond Games in Antwerp, imo.

I don't agree with that. Her body just can't take it anymore to play so many tournaments and she really wants to end at Wimbledon. She still wants to win every match she plays, she just tries to keep it to a minimum for her body.

She doesn't seem to mind whether she wins or loses. She said on her website that the motivation isn't there yet and that she's only still playing tournaments because she wants to say goodbye and she promised people she'd play there!
Besides, she's not ending at Wimbledon, she's still going to play in Stuttgart in October...

Wimbledon as the last grand slam then... Even if the motivation is missing, I still like that she keeps her promises.
You could be right though, maybe I'm disillusioned because I can never admit something negative about her, she's my favourite player ever. yes
