I've always loved Venus, so seeing her healthy, playing well, and being recognized by the WTA are all terrific. I'm looking forward to Miami.

The fact that Venus is even playing let alone winning with Sjogren's Syndrome is amazing to me!
My aunt has the same disease and it is not easy for her without being a Pro Tennis Player! Hats off to Venus :clap
