Hey Guys!

How are you?

As you know, I am playing in the US OPEN!!! Yes, I am totally excited about playing in the OPEN. Just in case, you did not know I am not only playing singles but doubles as well. I find it shocking that I am able to keep up with all of the excitement surrounding me, becoming part owner of the MIAMI DOLPHINS, playing in the US OPEN, & the release of "ON THE LINE!" I am a huge football fan & I've always wanted to write a book about my life from my point of view. So, I am very thankful at the end of the day when I reflect on all of my blessings. I am blessed to have a very supportive family & fans as well. You have stood on the line by my side through many situations that I have faced on & off court. There aren't many people that have the support that I have in life & I am very thankful. There aren't enough words nor letters to form words in order for me to express my appreciation. I will be pretty busy over the next couple weeks but I promise to keep you updated. At the end of this message, I will post a few upcoming dates, where you can find me after the US OPEN.


Xxxx,

S


P.S. Thank You to anyone that purchased a copy of "ON THE LINE!" Don't forget, "ON THE LINE" is in stores NOW!!! Please, share your thoughts about the book. I will try to respond!!!

Serena, The appreciation is mutual. There aren't enough words that could desribe how much you mean to your fans, or, should I say "There aren't enough words nor letters to form words in order for me to express my appreciation [towards you]" (as you so cleverly put!) I wish I could meet you, but living in Canada poses certain limitations ;) Love the book, love your current form, and I continue to support you and Vee win/lose. Kyle

Just wanted to say that I love your tennis dress and think it is beautiful and very nice fit for you. Much better than Saraphova (spelling?). You are looking great! Keep up the good work. MB

Great job Serena! Saw some nice tennis tonight; only 9 unforced errors and 25 great Wins. Your black and violet outfit looks great too. Everything is great, all the way around; and that’s just great!

Comment by : Ketie Aristil Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Rena, I forgot to mention why you are so blessed. You opened that school in Kenya. That is a blessing. You will continue to prosper a lot more. The Lord is on your side.. One day the media will recognize you as the best female Tennis player of all time. I love you! Ketie

hey awesomeness! tonight on the court! haha at the stare down! its my bday in a few days so i asked for ur book as my gift! so i will have it soon umm will u be doing a signing in florida anytime soon?????

Comment by : Kelly Maher Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Always been a fan of yours. UNTIL NOW. Very disappointed in your interview regarding #1 ranking. Why do you think you can change the rules how #1 ranking is determined. Even if you win all 4 majors, this is not how @1 is determined. If you want to play the game (ranking) you should win it based on their rules, not yours. For you to ridicule the process and Dinara the way you did is very un-Seran like. Or is it?

Rena, I forgot to mention again that today was my son's birthday.. He turns 15.. :-)

Comment by : Shabray Stanfield Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Rena wait...I am sitting here cracking up...LOL. The stare down, hands on your hips showdown for the foot fault was hilarious!!! Don't they know you play even better when you are pissed off!!! Priceless....

Serena you are so awesome! You definitely know how to stroke other spirit,huh? Reading this so you cannot describe your feelings & when is something inexpressible then it comes from antoher dimension & that´s always a good sign. Your words suffused my soul with warm and light. I cannot express how happy and thankful I´m I can be your fan. (in case you care) we (fans) are & always will be on your side! Everywhere, everytime, down or up! It´s great feeling that we (fans) and you can hear each other even though we might be on the opposite sides of the world. Thank you Serena! Love you always. Btw. your book is great, as if I heard your inward voice that I always wanted to hear. Just read the sad part of IW..hm, was it difficult to dwell on the past? probably so. Some things in life simply overgrow us and we can´t do anything with that. Better focus on the present moment and enjoy it to the full. Just be happy & have fun! I wish you with all my heart. Look forward to see you play tomorrow. Good luck!! :)
