I think its so hard for people to understand something like this, myself included, because it goes against everything we are taught is important. Winning everything, longevity, earnings. But what an amazing example she is of showing us that there is more to life than just your job. And that you should do exactly what you think will make you happy.. This is really powerful.

ATP had 12 years of inconsistency before Federer, from 90 to 02. Guess what has happening in the WTA between those years. Graf, Seles a few years and Sánchez Vicario were owning the tour. Hingis too towards the end of the decade, and the Williams sisters just started to rise and continue the reign over WTA for the next 15 years. People forget about that period so quickly. There were a lot more 1 or only 2 GS winners on the men's side between 1990 and 2002, continuing towards 2003. Just before Roger and Rafa showed up.

OMG. She looked unbeatable at the Aussie Open. I thought she could do the calendar slam this year. I'm so bummed. Always a fan of Ash. Wishing her the very best.

I feel so much for Casey. She knew what Ash was going to say and she knew she couldn’t talk her out of it. The best thing was when she just accepted it as the right decision for Ash. What a lovely friend and amazing human

Part of friendship is respect and wanting the best for your friend. That piece was wonderful to witness. I hope their friendship can continue to grow.
