This is not a goodbye

In recent years I have worked very hard to keep my body and mind in optimal shape and this has brought me a lot in tennis and beyond. Unfortunately, I have been struggling with severe osteoarthritis in my hip for almost two years. Surgery is something I have been postponing for a long time, but postponing is no longer an option.

During my rehabilitation I will enjoy everything that ‘normal’ life has to offer. Dancing, laughing, holidays, hobbies, studies and even more dancing. From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you for all the love I have received. For now, I’m going to find another cherry for my cake.
