My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Elena Baltacha. Her courage and determination were inspirational. To battle with a chronic liver condition from the age of 19, and still have the hunger to make it as a professional tennis player - a true fighter on court and off! I loved her attitude, I saw her a few times at Wimbledon and she was so passionate and fought for every point. It is heart breaking that after retiring in November 2013 to start the next chapter of her life with her new husband that this horrendous disease claimed another victim.
On a more jolly note and one that I am sure Bally would appreciate, is the amazing eye-hand coordination of mini-Rafa aka Harry Piper!
With his cousin's mini guitar he managed to launch many colourful balls around the garden with members of the family dodging the missiles coming towards them! Uncle Gary was very impressed....
Fab day with the Piper clan and a great Bank Holiday but the food and drink indulgence has taken its toll - will be in bed by 9, not as young as I used to be :-(
