Wimbledon 2000

In June ’98 I was in a fairly bad car accident that put me out of action for sometime. Having 10 days in hospital, which meant that I saw Arantxa win her 3rd French Open title from a hospital bed. Seeing her win that made me feel like I could do anything. I was released from hospital days after. I will never forget that.

I had physio for 18 months. I could not go back to my job, where I was a personal carer looking after disabled people in their homes (that was such a rewarding job). In that 18 month period my family sold and brought a new home. Hence now I am a Real Estate Agent for a very successful agency in Belgrave. Check out some of our homes for sale. www.bellrealestate.com.au the area where I work is very beautiful full of National Parks.

I have been working here for near 3 years. Well last year when I went over to Roland Garros, Eastbourne and Wimbledon for 6 weeks I kinda lost my job for taking too much time off. But hey is was really worth it. I would do it again tomorrow. However they asked me back this January. Arrhhh I’m too good they could not live without me. Hehehe

Well getting onto how I became a tennis fan. Well many moons ago I was watching TV late at night and the Hopman Cup was on. Oh by the way I hated tennis every January there would be nothing but tennis on the TV oh what a boring sport. I didn’t mind playing it but watch it on TV and live ZZZZzzzzz. Anyway there was this little Spaniard playing Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario wow could she run she NEVER gave up. Every point the ball just kept coming back. Like I remember just thinking to myself I would love to be like that in my sport. Keep going till the end, give it your all, fight for every point. So from that day on I supported Arantxa. Then the other year Arantxa played doubles at the Australian Open Magui. They didn’t do that well losing in the first round. But I have now adopted Magui as my second favorite.

More about me. I live at home with my mum Glenice, dad Noel and brother Cory. My two dogs are Jasper and Monet, two cats Mini and Sox, two lorikeets Lori and well the other one doesn’t really have a name plus a few fish. We live in quite a big home (so if any fans would like to come and watch the Australian Open you are more than welcome to stay). I have a Hyundai Coupe dark green with ASV numberplates. Which my friends got for me for my 21st birthday. My pride and joy. I also collect Simpson cartoon Cels.
