Neither have I.
Do you really think Kim writes any of this stuff herself. I mean,
she's been on holiday on the Queensland coast or in Adelaide or
wherever for the past three weeks, and doesn't come within a thousand
kilometres of a Belgian newspaper. I imagine she phones to the
webmaster once or twice a week and tells briefly what she's been up
to. The rest is made up right here in Belgium. What is abundantly
clear though is that this website is not doing her any services at
this moment, nor are the people around her who run it.
As for the Sugiyama partnership, it was more or less implied at the
beginning of the season that this was to be a one-year arrangement,
the ultimate goal being that Kim would then start to play doubles with
her sister Elke. But that plan now seems to be on the backburner too.
Elke's "stellar" results and slightly less than fully professional
attitude may play a part in this.
