It has been quite awhile since anyone has heard news on Jennifer Capriati, but Karen Crouse at the New York Times has written an article on what life is now like for the former world number one.
It hardly seems like it has been eighteen months since Capriati left the tour due to an acute injury in her right shoulder. Crouse asserts that the pain is still intense to the point that Capriati is unable to play fetch with her dogs, yet Jennifer still remains hopeful that one day, sooner or later, she may be able to return.
She said she was constantly being asked when she would resume her tennis career. “Basically, I’m retired until I can play,” Capriati said. “That’s the easiest way to put it.”

I cannot imagine what will be going on in Capriati’s head over the next few weeks as she watches Roland Garros, the site of her 2001 French Open title, from the comfort of her couch. Her competitive nature drove her to the top of the tennis tour, but will it be enough to lure her back once again?
