roger, i was a great tennis player for my school in port elizabeth south africa. It was really exciting to read that your mommy is south african. she must be an amazing mommy. I love the way Anica and you are thrilled with your twin daughters you have come out a winner again with those babies. Your mommy might have known my Auntie Marie Oosthuizen if she was in port elizabeth. She was a famous couteur designer and had a fabulous salon called "marguerites". You cannot retire yet you are still a baby 28. Practise hard and you will win the Australian Open in January 2010. I adore watching you play.
