Not doing as well as he'd have liked, either. Nor has Armstong. Of course, what both they and their hyping-up journalist friends forgot is that Schumacher without team orders is not as good as Schumacher with team orders; and that Armstrong semi-clean is not the beast that Armstrong doped to the gills was.
Now, Kim Clijsters... she claims she went back to tennis because she thought she would enjoy it more than she did when she stopped. I suspect that she also came back because she thought that, even after having had a baby girl, and at nearly thirty, she could still volley rings around these teenage upstarts who try and reach number one these days.
Difference is, she is very merrily proving this correct. I wouldn't put my money on Zvonareva tonight.
Originally posted by chesstora When the so called "sports stars" retire; why can't they stay retired. Some try to make a come. The most recent one that comes to mind is Lance Armstrong. Jordan did it, "Magic" Johnson did and a few others gave it a try.
But once retired why don't they just stay retired?
Why don't you try supporting a wife and a harem of girl freinds. If its so easy lets see you do it. If you ask me, there is no retirement, you just keep plugging away till you drop!! 😛
