Australian Open - Women's Third Round
30 Andrea Petkovic d 4 Venus Williams - 1-0 ret.
Gifts for back home: I do love seeing these stars in the ol' towel-grab.
That's four - that I can see. She played 3 rounds - that's a good 12 gifts!

Poor thing. Venus sure gave it a shot tho. Can't fault her for that.
Amazing: In 52 Slams played this is her 1st retirement in a major.
The last tour match she retired from was in Los Angeles back in '04.
That was 294 matches ago.
Venus: I was just hoping for some magic that it would feel ok.
So, both Williams Sisters are back on the disabled list.
I hope they are healthy by the time Indian Wells Miami rolls around.
That would be a real treat.
