Woke up to this.I also woke up to so many phone calls and messages from so many of you both privately and on social media.Before i clear up a few things thank you to The Sunday Telegraph for the feature and especially for putting me on the cover.I also want to thank my awesome friend @jessicakatesnaps for writing the story.Also thank you to my manager @nickfordham for the support.I am so appreciative and humbled by the support of so many of you and by the interest that this has created.Before i get into the whole "comeback to tennis" story let me just thank you all for your support on me talking about my health struggles i have had over the last few years.Earlier this year i talked publicly about my health struggles and having a thyroid problem.Due to that i have struggled with my health and weight for a while.I have made big progress in the last 12 months and even though i still have more work to do i am so happy that i am healthier and doing well.As important as its been for me to lose weight,this is not just about numbers.Its about my mental and physical health and my fitness.Its about my wellbeing and feeling good on the inside and out.That's where tennis comes in.I love how all of you really want to see me compete again on a professional level and even though i really do believe in the saying "never say never",let's not rush to things too quickly.For me it has already been a comeback,a comeback to my health.I have enjoyed being able to practise again after years of not being able to,and that's what its all about.Enjoyment and love for the game.I have always loved tennis but this right now is enjoyment on another level and it makes me so happy.As much as i would love to play professionaly again,that's a very tough task and a decision i do not take lightly.For now i am enjoying being healthier,happier and being able to play almost everyday.If it turns into something more,like me competing again,it would be a dream.I am not practicing with the intent of coming back.I am out there to enjoy it and have fun.Thank you all.More updates on everything soon.
