I have accomplished everything I set out to accomplish when I started playing the sport at 7. And probably even more.
In fifty years of covering the sport, of course Muhammad Ali is by far the dominant figure.
After almost 30 years of playing this sport, I've learned something. I've learned that, no matter what happens, or happened... or where you are, or where you've been... at the end of the day: tennis is tennis. It's always, always tennis. And there's nothing better.
All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.

'Just Can't Let You Go' is a song about passion. It's when you have such a strong passion and love for someone or something that your heart just can't let it go. Whether it's a special boy, girl, or that feeling you get when performing on stage or playing a sport. For me, my passion is music. I just can't let it go!

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.
Journalism is a team sport. Writing novels is golf: it's you and the ball.
