Acura Classic Players Dropping Like Flies

Her website says she is “on a highly deserved vacation of rest and relaxation.” Henin is the fourth top 10 player to drop out of the La Costa Resort & Spa’s final WTA hurrah.

Eight of the top 10 players on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour were in the field when the Acura’s entry list was announced, with Henin atop this list. Of the eight, only four now can be considered likely participants in the $1.34 million event July 28-Aug. 5 at the La Costa Resort and Spa.

But no worries. The Acura Classic is still a great time no matter who is missing.
