Serendipity is the act of finding something valuable or
delightful when you are not looking for it.
Below you will find a
collection of small items that I thought you might appreciate finding!
1. In this article, written by Mark Hodgkinson on the WTA web site, Lucie Safarova and her Ontario raised coach, Rob Steckley talk about her breakthrough win in Qatar, where she beat Vistoria Azarenka in the final. Their formula “Work hard, don’t forget to smile.” A good mantra for anyone!

Raonic: Childhood and Tennis Development, includes interviews with Mia Gordon, Casey
