6 months ago I couldn’t hit one backhand. Now I’ve played the Main Draw of @australianopen had amazing last few months and can say that the comeback has been more than successful. Step by step one at a time. Missed moments on court like this! Thank you to all of you that kept supporting me…and especially to My team (they’re the best), my family, my friends and to those sponsors who stuck by me:)
