The
internet
is an amazing thing. For years I've been posting pictures of players
that I've seen at tennis tournaments. Some are famous names, and some
are players that I came upon by accident on the outer courts, and then
ended up following their career from year to year.
In
January 2007 I received an email from the webmaster of Maria Sanchez
Lorenzo's website, who had come across this site and my US Open photos
of her. The webmaster is in the Netherlands! He informed me that she
has recently retired. After a few emails back and forth, I also received
this signed photo of Maria, from Portoroz 2005! Pretty neat. (Click
on the pic for a larger view.) Also
be sure to check out her official
website.
Vamos Maria!
