Hey Dave,
As you know, I hold to a strict regime of silence during the slams, which has been solely responsible for Rafa doing so well :snicker, as well as many other personal benefits, such as protecting myself from my baser instincts to row, fight, argue, claw and chew on fellow posters here during the most uptight, strained and violent upheavals in the tennis year: the Grand Slams.
But I can't help but make a lone exception here, to thank you for your generosity in showing your column, after I'd requested it. I'm always glad to read tennis articles, especially ones like this, which tell us about players who don't always get the full limelight attention they properly deserve. So much so, that Wozniak is unfortunate enough to be confused with Caroline Wozniaki. But I like the way you humanise her, because they are all ordinary humans doing extraordinary things, and often with a light touch, and a smile. I appreciate you sharing this!
I know things are getting very difficult for you now, no words can console, but I wish you all the best in your treatments, I'll remember you in my prayers, for what they're worth. You're thought of very highly around here, and we're all the better for having come in contact with you... :hug
