Tonight not only did we celebrate my decade with you, we celebrated you wonderful wonderful Knutfordians. You inspire me as much as I inspire you. You have taken me in as part of your family and to each and everyone of you, I thank you for that. Keep enjoying your tennis! Keep loving the thrill of winning a point, a game, a set, a match! Keep anguishing in a loss or a missed shot you know only too well you shouldn’t have missed, because this game I have chosen to give my life to and educate my own family into and love passing my knowledge of onto all of you wonderful people is the best game you will ever play - I promise you that. So embrace the ups, embrace the downs and when you put your racket away at the end of a win or a loss, look forward to the next time you're going to pull out that racket and do it all again. See you on court my family.... get practicing for my Challenge Cup next year! and thank you for my book of memories - a copy is shown below.
