The first picture is the same as that she posted last October, so this is more likely a celebratory post for her return. The last image is perhaps more the point of the post: "Everyone wants to skip the struggle not knowing that's where the character is built".

and that would make a lot more sense in the context of her playing in Calvi this week!

The boys may have disappointed today, but the girls have done us proud, with Sonay (WR 298), the solitary qualifier, following Emma & Lily into the second round after causing the upset of Day 1 by dumping out the Romanian 29th seed, Sorana Cirstea (WR 31), by 3-6 6-2 6-0!

A bit more of Sonay's back story from today's Standard. Well done today, lass. biggrin Born in Sidcup, but now living in Brighton. Sounds as though she's had a pretty torrid time of it on the health front. Goes by the nickname "Karts". smile

Thanks for this SC. Another player who's had a really difficult time but fortunately is starting to reap the rewards of all her hard work. God to hear she's had a lot of support.
