King, Melanie Oudin, Liezel Huber and Alexa Glatch will face the formidable Italian team of Flavia Pennetta, Francesca Schiavone, Roberta Vinci and Sara Errani on clay in Italy on November 7-8.




Serena’s remarks about agassi were laughable. She never heard of crystal med…give me a break. Her usual statements are always the same me, me and me….
I never heard of crystal meth either, and i’m 5years older than Serena. you Americans just love to hate the Williams sisters.
Are you related to Mary Carillo? I dont think so,you people, you people.
As a Jamaican ,i am so proud of my country’s
motto, which is, out of many one people.
You guys need to think the same.
Heatred and jealousy, not a good combination, and neither is good.
I’ve never heard of “crystal med” either. ;)
I heard of it, but if you put it down in my face, I would not know what it was. So why can’t Serena not have heard of it. From my understanding from the people I work around, it is usually made in trailer houses. Several have blew up in the little town I work in.
