Jamie!! What a career… what a ride… and what a partner to share it with! The tennis circus is a roller coaster and grateful we got to share some moments along the way 🏆 Thanks for anchoring (a nice word for “putting up with” 😂) my high energy on court and keeping the team steady through those big moments. 🙏🏼 

Honestly though, my favorite memories will always be our changeover conversations. Where we forgot the score (ok that was me), solved world problems, or just laughed until the ump called time… Of course never a rant or at anyone else’s expense,  because you’re the perfect Gentleman… Or maybe that was just the not so subtle Scottish humor I was hearing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 aren’t you glad I took all those selfies now? 😂 

The tennis life is “short” even for a career as long as yours, which is one helluva run 👏🏼 I know the next chapter is loading, but it’s ok to come up for air and take a breather too… a little break from the adrenaline. If that includes an off-the-grid escape to the Scottish countryside with no cell service or WiFi… We’re in! (By “we,” I mean Justin… we know how to “Play Brave” but really need his survival skills out there 💀)
