What ever happened to Jennifer Capriati and Monica Seles, two ladies
who, when they are at the top of their game, can beat just about anyone?
I know Seles had an injury; USA Network said that she is quietly
plotting a comeback. When did Capriati leave the game, and is it for
good, and under what circumstances did she leave the game?
-- Terry Tyrpin, Schaumburg, Ill.

This might sound like crazy talk coupled with wishful thinking, but it
wouldn't surprise me to see either back in 2008. As for Seles, a
comeback is obviously a much longer shot, particularly given her age.
But then again ... she never retired. She hits regularly with Nicole
Vaidisova. My moles on the bayou tell me she looked sharp beating
Navratilova in a New Orleans exhibition recently.

Meanwhile, Capriati has been outspoken about her desire to return. We
heard that she underwent still another shoulder surgery last week and
will return to rehab. Say this: If the tennis fates owe any players the
chance to leave on their terms, you'd better believe J.C. and M.S. top
the list.
