    Has this interview been posted before?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8408673.stm

    (By the way can you view this clip outside the UK? I am not sure)

    She says she has a superstitious pre-match routine of taping her left ankle first, although she 'hates being superstitious, because it's nothing to do with whether she is going to get the ball over the net or not'. Also that she is very religious, a Jehovah's Witness, and she reads the Bible every day, except she gets too tired sometimes. She used to go door to door a lot when she was younger, but now she does informal witnessing instead. She will do more door to door preaching when she is back home. Her family is spiritual, and they hope to see their dead sister again.

    I like these five minute interviews with Matthew Stadlen.

    Seems like a nice girl. So glad she lives her life and handles her fame without worrying about the WTS bullshit. If the WTS would quit trying to control every aspect of a JW's life, they would appear more normal and less cultish. Might even help them retain more young ones.

    I don't think she's even baptized. Isn't it the other one that baptized? Hasn't she been dating Common for almost a year now?

    Reminds me of a kid I went to school with that would say he was a JW because his grandmother was one and would take him to the hall sometimes.

    Superstitious and spiritual can be placed easily in sentence can it not.

    I think its funny how many professional sport athletics can be very superstitious.

    Its riding what is presumed as the wave of good luck.

    She came close to getting in trouble today, I'm glad she managed to stave off an upset...too bad Roddick couldn't figure out how to win today. :(
