Serena the same, she once said she hates to lose more than she likes to win. <br /><br />For most others they would pad themselves on their backs saying they have improved , they have had good tournaments, there is always next time. Tennis is a brutal sport, time doesn't wait for anyone. jo shumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122008068431206949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-84574966635231556362016-04-01T22:15:58.827-05:002016-04-01T22:15:58.827-05:00Wow--those line breaks got all messed up--just not...Wow--those line breaks got all messed up--just noticed.

I've wanted to write about Serena, Aga and Petra (other than a haiku), but writing has been difficult for a while. All of them would make good subjects.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-4809093203577808252016-04-01T15:59:46.969-05:002016-04-01T15:59:46.969-05:00Ah, the "lessons of Caroline" could prob...Ah, the "lessons of Caroline" could probably fuel/inspire an entire poetry collection, couldn't it? Her struggles have a universal quality to them.<br /><br />Have you even written something with Vika as the subject/inspiration? In so many ways, she's the living and breathing opposite of Wozniacki. While Caro often is reticent and holds back, Vika is sometimes a constantly-moving-forward force of nature. Sometimes to her own detriment, sure... but that's just Vika being Vika. ;)<br /><br />Todd.Spikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455101522360257651noreply@blogger.com
