Edwin Derde Says:
Dear Fransesca,
thank you for the wounderfull tennis, yesterday. The game you played
against our Justine is one of the most exiting games I've ever seen.During
the game you made me think to a very special moment from my musiccarreer.
In 1997 a had the opportunity to preform a concert in the arena in
Amsterdam with Luciano Pavarotti. It was a concert for the Queen. One of
the aria's wich he dedicated to her was 'donna non vidi mai' witch he
translated as: "I've never seen such a beautifull woman like that" That's
what you made me think of. Thanks again for the great tennis you're
playing. That the best may win! Kind regards
Edwin Derde, Antwerp
