Richard Williams on burnout in women's tennis
No child should be pinned down, running from country to country, from state to state. I wouldn't do it. If you go back and look at Martina Hingis, Justine Henin, you look at Kim Clijsters and other girls. Why is it they had to quit at 25? Tennis has burned you out, tennis will kill you. Venus is 29, she is ready to play. She didn't burn out at an early age.
Richard Williams, quoted from the BBC's Wimbledon Live page.
