gmt the frog

: it is the November issue (dated December) in the "How are you" section.
In short :
She went down last year from #24 (August) to #118.
She played qualifying rounds in Filderstadt, Zurich and Luxemburg. In Zwitzerland and Germany, she lost against Tatiana Panova each time.
At the end of the season, she was feeling nervously tired. She had had a good start of the year in 2000 (qtr in Hobart and in Tokyo. 2nd round in Nice against Venus Williams after 2 tie-breaks) and then everything started to go bad : no more victory on clay, only two on grass. This was an upset compared to the year 2000.
So she was taking advantage of the end of the season to clear everything up and start again from scratches. She was then practicing in Nantes without personal trainer [BTW : does anyone know who her former trainer was?] and she is training with men and intended to practice also with Alexandra Fusai. As from mi-November, she was supposed to start to work on her technique.
From the interview, it appears she was extremely motivated to start playing again.
