Jennifer Capriati has pulled out of the Pilot Pen tournament in New Haven just before the U.S. Open, citing a slower than expected recovery from shoulder surgery. All the articles on her pullout note the tournament advertising is going to have to change - right now they have huge billboards with Capriati's picture on them overlooking the highway. And even though it's not official, this pretty much puts Capriati out of the U.S. Open and makes this a completely lost year as far as tennis is concerned for her. When she finally does make it back I'll be interested to see if she's serious about a comeback or just looking to get in a few more matches before retiring.
