howdy. i’m susanna, estonian living in belgium. after riding horses for 17 years (which I actually still do), i woke up one day in late 2024 and decided that tennis is where it’s at. “why?” you may ask and your guess is a good as mine. for a person who identifies as a perfectionist and has dreamt of being a professional athlete, choosing a sport where the first doesn’t exist and the second should have been addressed when i was 5, tennis might have actually been one of the most questionable ‘how hard can it be’ side quests i have ever done. however, (un)fortunately i’m hooked and as someone who’s passionate about writing almost as much as i’m about hitting yellow balls, documenting this journey as well as everything i have learned along the way seemed like a fun thing to do.
psa: this is by no means the type of tennis blog where i’m going to bring you stats about another sincaraz final, test 10 different types of strings or discuss the politics of WTA and ATP. i’m simply not qualified to do this. this is about personal experiences and personal experiences only.i hope you enjoy. if you don’t then that’s also okay.
