Hello everyone, I am writing to you today to let you know that I have decided not to participate in this year’s US Open, an event that I have great memories of.
I will miss the electric and special night sessions in New York with Ashe, but I don’t think I can give 100% this time.
Thank you… photo.twitter.com/FluGRWUzIp
