  2. Thank God she is working with someone at last. Hopefully this relationship will work out unlike her one with Mark McGrath. And yes, she loves the Aussies. She might as well as become a citizen there, LOL.

    I am excited for 2010! Ajde Ana, year of redemption!

  3. Yes! “Year of Redemption”, indeed!
    I am happy for Ana.
    ‘Australian Damian Prasad’…?

    Prasad is an Indian name,no?

    Merry Christmas everybody!

  4. No matter what origin he is, the most important thing is to get her up and running. Hope we’ll see old Ana shine in 2010!
    By the way the remarks about ending with tennis. She is in top 100 in WTA, I don’t see that as a reason to quit…!
