06/30/'10 Jennifer Capriati recovering from accidental overdose - Jennifer was taken from her
Singer Island condo to a hospital in the South of Florida early Sunday morning for an accidental overdose of medication prescribed her by her personal physician.
"In response to an outpouring of concern and support shown by Jennifer's fans and friends worldwide, we would like to acknowledge that Jen is recuperating at a South Florida
hospital from an accidental overdose of medication prescribed to Jen by her personal physician", spokeswoman Lacey Wickline told The Associated Press.
"Jen is recovering fully and stably. The Capriati family asks that you respect our privacy at this time. We will provide updates when available",
she added.
Yesterday, many tennis players showed their support for Jen, too. Kim Clijsters posted on her Twitter site: "I haven't been able to stop thinking about
Jen! I hope she makes it through ok and can get some help!". "I probably will definitely see how that goes and pray for everyone involved", Serena
Williams said. "If there's any way I can do anything to help, reach out, I definitely will do that". Venus added: "I remember her match against Monica
(Seles) in the semifinals of the (French) Open. I remember watching that and just thinking how great that tennis was. So definitely a lot of fond memories
just watching her growing up, and obviously even playing against her, respecting her game so much".
