The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
It took Amelie Mauresmo a couple of tries to reach the Finals or Wimbledon and then to win it. She has been accused of losing it mentally when she reaches the brink of victory. That nearly happened to her in the semis against Grunter Sharapova but she pulled through.
It must be a relief for her. She told the reporter after the match that now, nobody can talk about her nerves.
Congrats kid. You've been around for a long time and you've obviously worked at your game. First the Australian Open, now Wimbledon. It must feel special.
I never played any sports, so I have no clue what a victory like this means. I do, however, know what it means to earn a Masters degree with distinction and being one of only 10% who did the same thing!

Jamaica plays on 21 July.
