She will get to a good level that was higher than before she left.

The question will be two kinds.


Can she break into the top ten and start beating all the top players to gain #1 ever again?

Will her formerly injured feet become chronic again and force her to retire once more early?

I think the reason she is back (like Michael Jordan) is that when she is playing, she gets 10-30 million maybe a year in endorsements.
When she stops playing, the endorsements dwindle down to at most $500,000 after three years.

She likes the game, but if she can be top 7 material for the next 5 years she'll bank 150 million not counting prize money.

Why not?

I think she's quickly approaching the top ten. On ESPN she's rated 32nd, but I'm sure she deserves to be higher now. Who knows how they rank them.

I'd bet if something fails her it's part of her body up higher this time, like a hip or shoulder. I hope her feet hold out for her.

I agree.

LOL ........ right.
