What an unbelievable article about Jennifer! It is so good to hear about her at all, she is really my favorite player and the reason I started to get into tennis in the first place.
I am very sad to hear she is having such a difficult time, but the very fact that she is able to give an interview like this shows that she is getting better.
I really wish her all the best for her health and life and please keep on reporting about her, Aaress!
That was a great article on Jennifer, although it does sound like her chances of making a comeback are getting slimmer as time progresses.
I’d really love to see her back on Tour, but more importantly, at peace with her future. Living for just one thing has to be a bleak existence when it is suddenly taken away from you.
Don’t worry – if I hear anything more about Jennifer, I’ll be sure to post it!
