Hi Claire! I hope you feel better soon, it is so hard to spend a birthday completely in the dumps comparing yourself to well... yourself. They say that thats what we should do but even that can be so difficult and i know coz this is me. I've been following your career as I am a huge tennis fan, i follow all the Chinese players because that's my heritage, I don't want to assume that you are but your surname is a bit of a giveaway haha. I really stand behind all of them, including you.
I hope you advance further in the rankings and don't be too hard on yourself.
You've accomplished a lot at your very young age and should be very proud of yourself. I can't imagine what it's like playing at a major let alone winning a match at one and you've done that at all 4. Your mother's birthday story matches my mother's except mine is for Wimbledon (#1 seed defeated #1 seed that Saturday, only time ever) and I hope to attend Wimbledon for the first time next year for my big 4-0. Life gets better as you age as you experience more and meet more people and it compounds. Hope to see you winning at SW19 next year along with the other American players just like in '85 to make it a nice throwback.
Claire, such an excellent post. You are exceptional and years beyond your age and most importantly loved by so many!!! Never forget how special you are and how much you make the world a better place regardless of whether you are winning or not. ❤️
Happy belated birthday, and thank you for this; there's a lot in this post I can relate to. It's a tough world out there, I hope this upcoming year treats you better <3
