Sports luminary Art Spander, on duty providing website coverage of the BNP Paribas Open for Palm Springs Life this week, chats about 35-year-old Venus Williams, who was knocked out following a first-round loss to Japan's Kurumi Nara, 6-4, 6-3.

That leaves the crowd at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden with the question of whether this will be the last time they see her compete in singles at BNP?

Spander chats about Venus' retirement question, noting how some athletes sometimes stay in their sport longer than they should.

Bill Dwyre, a former sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times, will take over BNP coverage for Palm Springs Life starting March 14 through the crowning of a women's and men's singles champions.
