Mother concerned about Venus

Yesterday, Oracene Price and boyfriend Hank Kuehne said they were worried about Venus Williams, who has been experiencing dizzyness and a lack of energy intermittantly in the last few months. She was diagnosed with anemia after Wimbledon and has been taking medication, but this seems to be something different. Price said she would encourage her daughter to go to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for a full workup.
Injuries are a fact of life on the tour, and losses are often followed by a discussion of aches and pains that are real. It’s easy to see them as excuses from the couch at home, but it’s rare to see a player really milk it as a reason for a loss.
Serena Williams has her thumb (and according to her dad a swollen knee and torn hamstring), Maria Sharapova has a sore shoulder and you could point to similar examples on the men’s tour.
But it’s troubling to see that two players—Tomas Berdych and Venus, have come out with dizziness and nausea.
