While I may well make a brief comment about things that appear on the site down the road, this will very likely be my final in depth post.
When I hopped on board 6 years ago, my major concern with Daniela, as you may recall, was how unfairly maligned she was in the public eye. We all know the narrative. Gagger, mentality fragile, cares more about how sexy she is than her tennis, ad nauseam.
Over these 6 years, as she added a few tournament titles, became the queen of 3 setters, passed 500 wins and more was learned about her charities and how many friends she had on a tour notorious for feuds, pettiness and gamesmanship, her public image changed quite a bit and reached the point where I felt she had basically outlasted the critics.
Yet I yearned to see one thing happen. That was an outpouring of love from a crowd that clearly was directed at Dani for who and what she is. It rarely happens in sports. Once in a while a top player who is retiring or recently did gets a day in his or her sport, and I truly don't recall anything like that happening for a tennis player, though I would stand corrected. So I dismissed it as a pipe dream.
Then came the celebration in Bratislava last month. Joy!! The articles spoke of Daniela's deeply emotional reactions and a number of standing ovations (Much obliged as always, Chungwit, for providing them). Of course, I wanted to see and hear it. While the video posted here focused on Dani and didn't show the audience, You Tube, of course, has other videos to look at. Clicked on one.
There it was.
Daniela introduced. The camera pans all around the Aegon Arena seats. Thousands of people are on their feet, loudly cheering for our gal. A tear leaked from my eye. My heart is full. It is very, very difficult to imagine anyone living today that deserved this kind of tribute more. And the critics have turned into crickets.
Of course, I remain beyond fortunate to have lived the moment where a giddy Daniela autographed my shirt in Carlsbad. It was the perfect storm for a Daniela Maniac. And my everlasting gratitude remains for my wife, Stormy (30 years of marriage, guys!), who got her attention. She is convinced that because she was in a motorized scooter, Dani's huge heart was touched. I'm glad to tell you that her health has improved in recent months.
As much of a wordsmith as I like to believe I am, I don't know the proper words to thank all of you the way I should. When I joined this page, I was going through a rough patch in my life. Being able to banter with you about this wonderful woman helped me a lot. It was a blast. I miss it. This cannot be duplicated. Because I can't imagine ever rooting for another woman tennis player again. Thank you all so very much!
