THE LOW DOWN: Will Venus skip the French Open?
What's going on with Venus Williams these days? When we last checked in with the 6-time Grand Slammer she was clearing the air about her supposed "hiatus" from tennis for an undisclosed medical reason saying,
To be very clear, I am healthy, I am not on an indefinite leave of absence and I will be back on Tour next month beginning in Rome (May 12).Now comes word via Tennisreporters.net that V may be skipping the French Open:
According to Davis Cup Committee Chairman Bill Kellogg via the SD Union Tribune's Jerry Magee, Venus Williams won't play Roland Garros.We haven't heard a peep from the 27-year old since her last blog post. Anyone out there have the inside scoop?

True dat. She is a favorite every year on the grass. But lately Henin has done pretty well on that surface. Of course, Masha can get in her way too.

LOL - V's pretty much on the straight and narrow and that's great.
exactly i'd love to see her win either the Aussie Open or French she tends to do much better in the latter half of the year. i think her best bet is another Wimbledon - which wouldn't be too bad either!

Ahh, that's too bad. I always like rooting for Venus - and at 27, she may not have many more roland garros chances left. Ask Guga!
hmmm. what's the mystery medical condition. With most celebrities, when I hear that I think nose job or booze, maybe some valium issues... but Venus? nahhh.
