LONDON -- It was clear something was wrong with Serena
Williams from the moment she began trying to warm up for
her Wimbledon doubles match Tuesday.
Chris-Conte-Buccaneers-Jersey/">Chris Conte Jersey .
She weakly pushed volleys into the net from a couple of
feet away. She whiffed on practice strokes. She even had
trouble with the simple task of collecting tennis balls
from the ball kids. After Williams was examined for about
10 minutes on the sideline by medical staff, including a
check of her blood pressure, the match began. After three
games, though, an out-of-sorts Williams and her partner,
older sister Venus, stopped. The tournament referees
office and WTA later said Serena, who lost in singles
Saturday, had a viral illness. "I am heartbroken Im not
able to continue in the tournament," Serena said in a
statement. "I thought I could rally this morning because
I really wanted to compete, but this bug just got the
best of me." About 1 1/2 hours after leaving the court,
Serena walked out of the All England Club, still wearing
her white match outfit, and with a tournament towel
draped around her waist. She got into a car and was
driven away. "Unfortunately, Serena has been feeling
unwell for the past few days and she just couldnt play to
her potential today," Venus said. "Im really proud of her
for trying because we just love playing doubles
together." They have won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles as
a pair, including five at Wimbledon. In singles, the 32-
year-old Serena is ranked No. 1 and owns 17 major
championships, the most among active women; five came at
the All England Club. "We were all looking forward to a
great match. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of
the fans for their cheers and understanding," said
Serena, who was beaten in three sets by 25th-seeded Alize
Cornet in the third round of singles. "I look forward to
returning to Wimbledon next year." While being looked at
by a doctor before the start of the second-round doubles
match against Kristina Barrois and Stefanie Voegele,
Serena hunched over and covered her face with her hands.
During the delay, one of the Williams other sisters,
along with Serenas agent and her hitting partner, left
their seats in the stands. Eventually, play began. With
Serena serving in the third game, she was broken at love
with four double-faults. One of the best servers in the
womens game, she hit balls that bounced before reaching
the net. At love-40 in that game, chair umpire Kader
Nouni took the unusual step of climbing down from his
perch and walking over to speak to Serena. She then
served another double-fault to fall behind 3-0. Serena
and Venus walked to the sideline holding hands, and Nouni
announced to the crowd at No. 1 Court: "Ladies and
gentlemen, unfortunately, Miss Williams has to retire."
Serena wiped away tears as she walked toward the courts
exit. Her career has been marked by health problems. She
missed eight months after having surgery on her left knee
in 2003, the year she had completed a self-styled "Serena
Slam" by winning four consecutive major titles. Days
after winning Wimbledon in 2010, Williams cut both feet
on broken glass while leaving a restaurant, leading to
two operations on her right foot. Then she got clots in
her lungs and needed to inject herself with a blood
thinner. Those shots led to a pool of blood gathering
under her stomachs skin, requiring another hospital
procedure. In all, she was off the tour for about 10
months, returning in 2011.

The one-time utility player turned All-Star pulled aside
the clubs young, fourth outfielder and offered him some
advice.NEW YORK – It was the second of two from Tyler
Bozak and an overtime marker that saved the Leafs from
complete disaster in the Big Apple, a three-game losing
streak emphatically put to bed. Generally speaking, it
was more of the same from a one-line wrecking machine
which has carried the Leafs offensively all season, but
especially since the calendar turned to 2014. Torontos
top line of Bozak, Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk has
now combined for 35 goals in the new year or 10 more than
the rest of the forwards combined in that span and a
staggering 49 per cent of the teams total offence.
Secondary scoring from the likes of Joffrey Lupul, Nazem
Kadri and Mason Raymond has been spotty. Kadri snapped a
six-game skid with his 16th of the year against the
Rangers, depositing a Nik Kulemin rebound beyond the
grasp of Henrik Lundqvist. Two days earlier, Raymond
scored the lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Columbus, then the
third-straight for the Leafs. Such contributions, though,
have been the exception rather than the norm in recent
months with the top unit terrorizing opponents nightly.
Kessel is on pace for 90 points and trails only Sidney
Crosby in the scoring race. van Riemsdyk has smashed
almost every previous career-high, already boasting 26
goals and 52 points. And Bozak, the most maligned first-
line centre in the league, has managed 37 points in 40
games this season, including 23 in the past 23 games. "I
think at the start of the year, we thought one of our
strengths would probably be our balanced attack," Lupul
told the Leaf Report before Wednesdays 3-2 overtime
victory, "and it hasnt really been that for a number of
different reasons, injury probably the first one you look
to." Dave Bolland has missed almost the entire year,
David Clarkson has offered little offensively and Kulemin
only shows hints here and there of the offensive prowess
that scored 30 goals only three seasons ago. Its been the
second unit though, cemented by Kadri and Lupul, thats
just been off somewhat, rarely running in concert with
the Kessel-led trio. "We havent really had that game,"
said Lupul, "the breakout game where you score two or
three or four goals." Though he remains on pace for a
still respectable 24 goals and 48 points, the 30-year-old
has just four goals in the past 19 games. He had a
terrific chance to beat Lundqvist on a backhand rebound
attempt in the second, only to be stymied by the right
pad. His emergence down the stretch alongside Kadri would
certainly stand to benefit the Leafs attack. "For me,
usually thats what I look at is scoring chances because
eventually theyll go in for me," said Lupul, who has felt
better physically since the Olympic stoppage, the
extended layoff offering opportunity to heal some nagging
concerns. "Ive played long enough that I can self-
evaluate and at the end of the game I know when I played
a good game or a bad game for the most part. Right now,
Im happy with my game to a point. Sometimes youve got to
find a way to put the puck in the back of the net,
especially when your teams down by one. But I feel good
right now and I feel like were on the verge of having one
of those games where we break out and score three or four
goals." Lupul also stressed his belief that the eventual
return of Bolland, who missed his 49th-straight game
Wednesday, will aid in attempts for greater balance.
"Obviously, theres a little bit of excitement to finally
play a game where we have everyone and see how the team
looks with Bozak, Kadri, Bolland, McClement and then all
of our wingers," said Lupul. "Thats an exciting prospect
for us to finally suit up that full lineup. And I think
youll see, once we do that, the balanced attack will come
a little bit. I mean, having Bolland centring your third
line it makes a big difference." Goal-scoring has never
been an issue for the Leafs this season. They remain one
of the leagues highest-scoring teams, almost entirely
because of the top lines dominance (and a productive,
until recently, power play). But if that trio slows even
a little down the stretch – shooting percentages tend
fluctuate – and beyond that in the playoffs, the lack of
balance could emerge as a real concern. Five Points 1.
Messy Third Periods For the third time in four games
after the Olympic break the Leafs dropped a third period
lead, blowing a 2-0 deficit in stunning fashion against
the Rangers. Dealt an opportunity to bury the home side
early in the final frame with Brad Richards hauled off
for tripping, Toronto managed to yield a pair of
shorthanded goals in just over a minute. Giveaways by
Cody Franson and then Kessel allowed Ryan McDonagh and
Dominic Moore to strike and reignite a seemingly dead
Madison Square Garden crowd. "Thats just unacceptable
from our power-play group," said Kadri afterward. "We
know that." It was, rather incredibly, the second time in
less than a week that the club had allowed two
shorthanded goals on the same power play. More concerning
though was another evaporated third period lead. The
Leafs carried such leads in Long Island and Montreal in
recent days, only to fumble them away and eventually lose
in overtime. Valuable points were lost in the process.
Because they ended up taking the second point anyway in
overtime – still handing one to New York – the Leafs
jumped the idle Lightning for third in the Atlantic
Division. "Weve got to look at it as two points that are
huge right now," said head coach Randy Carlyle. "It
ddoesnt feel so good right now because youre frustrated
with the way it went, but tomorrow in the standings, itll
show two points and then you move on.
Sweezy-Buccaneers-Jersey/">J.R. Sweezy Jersey. " 2.
Bollands Cloudy Status Lupul compared Bollands looming
addition (more on that below) to a trade. "It was almost
the same for me last year. I had the broken arm and came
back and was able to add a little spark to the team,"
said Lupul, who had 18 points in 13 games upon return
from the injury last spring. "I would expect Bolland to
kind of do the same thing. It doesnt necessarily have to
be with goals or assists, but just what he brings on a
night to night basis. Weve certainly missed it. Youre
putting in a guy with playoff experience; that is kind of
the exact thing that you look to add at the trade
deadline." Bollands return from a severed left ankle
tendon has taken longer than expected and remains cloudy
at best. He described the rehab process himself recently
as a "slow mountain climb," one that has seen him out of
the lineup since Nov. 2. The 27-year-old neared a return
last week but suffered a setback and has since visited
with a specialist in Carolina, who advised that the
process continue moving forward. Uncertainty remains on
when exactly hell be back with just 18 games remaining.
3. Trade Deadline Comes and Goes Quietly The Leafs
ultimately remained quiet at Wednesdays trade deadline.
Not yet a Cup contender in need of just a piece or two to
get over the top, but not a bottom dweller selling assets
either (as they were in years past) Nonis and his
management team decided just to stand pat. "I think its
easy to try to get caught up in what might be an exciting
move, what may help you for a couple weeks," Nonis told
reporters in Toronto. "Its easy to get caught up in that.
[But] I dont think its a prudent way of approaching this
day. At least, not until we have more assets to give.
When you can give up first-round picks or you can give up
top young players and not feel it, then youre ready to
make those deals." Nonis made clear that their side was
primarily interested in hockey deals at the deadline with
rentals not aligning with the teams current state (theyre
not ready to win). Selling pending UFAs (Raymond, Kulemin
and McClement) additionally for minimal assets also didnt
make much sense as theyd damage the team in the interim
without yielding much in the way of worthwhile return. In
the upswing from where theyve been as an organization in
the past, the Leafs are, nonetheless, kind of in the
middle at the moment. Good, but not great. A playoff team
not quite worthy of Cup contention. And thus, remaining
quiet rather than chasing an unrealistic dream was
probably most logical. 4. Trade Deadline II As they
ambled off the ice at MSG on Wednesday morning, Bozak and
Raymond poked fun at the trade deadline frenzy. "Neuf to
the Flyers," Raymond chirped. "Is it done?" Bozak
responded, "I heard its a done deal." Dion Phaneuf had
been absent from the morning skate, taking the morning
off for maintenance. Such is the hysteria associated with
the annual deadline and why its typically a nervous day
for most players. "I dont think theres been a time where
Ive been super nervous," Franson said before the 3pm
deadline was to expire. "For a guy in my situation, I
dont have a no-trade clause or anything like that, so
whatever happens its going to happen and theres nothing I
can do about it. Youre always kind of on the edge of your
seat just to see if your name pops up on the ticker or
whatever. Your life can change in a second. Thats always
a little nerve-wracking. As far as really stressing about
it, its not in your hands." 5. Trade Deadline III Carlyle
recalled a messier trade deadline following Wednesdays
game. While an assistant coach in Washington during the
2003-2004 season, he watched in horror as the Capitals
shipped out the likes of Jaromir Jagr, Peter Bondra,
Robert Lang, Sergei Gonchar and Michael Nylander in the
lead-up to the Mar. 9 deadline. "And that wasnt a lot of
fun," he said. Among the rewards in those trades were
Tomas Fleischmann, Brooks Laich, Mike Green and a team
that was bad enough to snatch the first overall selection
in the 04 draft, one that yielded Alex Ovechkin. Stats-
