Congrats on a year! It’s one of my favorite newsletters. Here’s to the moms who found endless ways to weave tennis into childhood… the two are completely intertwined for me. Glad it helped you find your footing again 👏 and happy birthday!

Congratulations! You're doing great work and I am fascinated to learn more about parts of tennis we rarely if ever hear much about.

Jessica, congratulations on one year of HardCourt and for everything that is to come. I hope your momentum continues going into Year 2 and you can continue to deliver one banger after another. It’s been lovely getting to know you and your journey and it feels like talking to an older sister— I’m elated for you and yes, I hope it sinks in that you’ve gone on somewhat of a life-changing rollercoaster ride this past year, keep that seatbelt fastened because I’m sure there’s a lot more exciting opportunities going to come your way!

Wishing you the best and hopefully we can meet soon (someday)!🤍♥️

Aw Areyah, I will happily take another little sister—especially one who’s as tennis obsessed as me 😂 Thank you for such a kind note and for all your support this year! I just know we’ll cross paths IRL soon. 🤍

Happy birthday, Jessica! Cheers to you and your one-of-a-kind publication! A trip to Wimbledon to start Year 2 can only mean bigger things are ahead for you!

I loved reading about your journey. Thank you for sharing! To celebrate that, please allow me to reply with a couple of quotes from "our" great Fernando Pessoa:

"Stones in the road? I save every single one, and one day I'll build a castle."

"The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!"

Wishing you all the best!
