posticon Hello from Clair


Hi everyone,

I live in Sydney, Australia in place called Chester Hill which is Southwest of the CBD, about 40mins. I have my own business doing Graphic Design and printing and have been in the industry about 8 years. It's hard work and stressful at times but some days are enjoyable, especially when a customer is very happy with my work.

My birthday is 21/06/77. I was born in Australia and my parents are from the UK. Most of my family are in the UK so I don't get to see them often. I have visited the UK 3 times and also have been to Canada. I would love to tour europe and visit the US and see some of my family in Missouri.

I love music, movies and singing. I would like to sing professionally, maybe one day! I love to draw and paint which led me into Graphic Design and occasionally dabble in writing poetry, as some of you may have read about Mark. He inspires me!! emoticon
I love other sports like cricket, swimming and cycling, but tennis is my first!

I fell in love with Mark during Wimbledon 2003. I knew of him but not much about him. I saw his passion and drive and was addicted. I then discovered the struggle he endured to get where he was at that moment in time. I developed a great respect and admiration for him. My family has always loved tennis and I had the opportunity to see many great players when I was younger like Pete Sampras and Martini Hingis, but no one captured my heart the way Mark did. It definately renewed my interest. I am very proud to be Australian and would love to see more young players rise in the near future. My most memorable moment was Davis Cup 2003 in September when Mark won the deciding 5th rubber in the final against Spain. He was playing through the pain to win it for Oz, truly inspiring!

Through all the slander and hard times I will be there for you Mark, always......
Life is more beautiful when you struggle for something, life is more beautiful with you in it Mark......

Thank you to Scudzone for giving the fans a chance to express themselves and I hope it will continue for many years to come.

Re: Hello from Clair


Thanks Anne for the warmiest welcome. I will attach some pics etc. soon hopefully.

Here is a poem for his Bday last year;

We love you more than you know,
So here's a HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
And a little hello.
With all the prayers of a thousand fans,
May your summer in Australia,
Go as planned.
Let your loved ones and family be an inspiration,
Reveal your courage and determination.
Show us what you can be,
And tell the world what we already see.
Work hard, but remember, always smile.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! Hope to see you in Sydney!
Love and Happiness, Clair xoxo

Re: Hello from Clair


I was so happy on Sunday that I wrote this........I'm such a Girl..... emoticon


My tears of old,
were not in vein.
Worth every drop,
to see this great change.
I watched you triumph,
and saw your soul smile.
We have all waited,
for such a long while.
As I cherish this moment of glory,
I watch unfolding your beautiful story.
Only great things will come after this day,
this is what I feel in my heart,
and all I can say........
