TS Elliott put it so eloquently in his poem which describes the subdued manner in which this period of our tennis journey has expired.

’This is the way the world will end,

This is the way the world will end,

This is the way the world will end,

Not with a bang, but a whimper’!

It would have been my preference to have said a proper goodbye.  Things do not always turn out the way you would have liked.  C’est la vie!

What a joy it has been to be a part of your children’s lives and to have your friendship.

Tennis is with you forever.

Goodbye and thank you for the memories Austinmer.

Pete
