- Elena in her own words.
- Boyfriend Jon's great take. Loved the last two paragraphs.
- Bobby Chintapalli's eloquent words. She's right: The beauty is in the imperfections.
- A WTA slideshow of Lena's career.
- Matt Cronin's thoughts. "She was never an easy out."
- Tignor's kind take. "She was too good to be remembered for what she didn't do."
- An open letter to Elena.
- I don't need to know what's going on here. All I know is that Yonex, you should be ashamed of yourselves. No really, you're idiots.
- Mama Vera! Also, you gotta love that in this day and age of tennis divas, Lena and her mom stayed at a hotel that looks an awful lot like the flat DonkeyGrooming and I rented in London. Which is simply to say that it's nice, just not multimillionaire nice.
- Elena and the Scissor Sisters? Yes please.
- That 2004 USO speech.
