  1. Slim chances you be reading this blog, Anne, but even so: you belong to the chosen few who’s retirement is a true loss to the spirit of women’s tennis. I, for one, never missed a broadcast of your match, not if I could help it. May you bring up a legion of girls to follow in your graceful footsteps.
