Amelie Mauresmo
Personal experience: Amelie is incredibly sweet and has a great personality.
Don't let her muscular physique fool you, Amelie is very approacable and more than happy to stop and chat while
signing autographs. Ok, so us Brits are generally not fans of the French, but this is one exception!

Anna Kournikova
Personal experience: Seems to dislike signing autographs,
and probably only stops to sign a few autographs because her PR people insist she has to.
Borrowed a black marker from a friend of ours, signed half a dozen
autographs, took the marker with her then threw it away rather than give it back... later recovered by a Wimbledon
security guard. She is by far the most wanted person in tennis, and receives an undeserving quantity of negative press,
so her apparent attitude can be forgiven.
A very beautiful girl up close, and looks even younger in person. This is the #1 autograph you can own, period.

Daniela Hantuchova
Personal experience: Fame definitely hasn't gone to hear head, she is very
down to earth, and is a pleasure to meet. Always time to sign autographs. This girl is not the
next Anna Kournikova, she is the first Daniela Hantuchova!
Not only is she stunning looking, but she has the ability to be top 10 in the world for a very long time.
One for the future, so this autograph is a must have.

Elena Baltacha
Personal experience: In 2002 she was kinda surprised that anyone knew who
she was, so she was more than happy to stop and sign autographs. Very pleasant and down to Earth,
your classic British girl next door! Elena is one of the best female tennis players in the UK, so is a
must have for you British tennis fans.

Jennifer Capriati
Personal experience: Hot and cold. Will sign when she wants to, but
sometimes can't be bothered. Interpret this as you wish: She was on her way to the practice courts,
said her hands were "too cold" (to sign autographs) and so would sign later,
on her way back she totally ignored us. Winner of two Australian and one French Open titles,
so should be high on your autograph wish list.

Justine Henin-Hardenne
Personal experience: A woman of few words, very shy, but always happy to give
autographs. Not quite the personality of her compatriot Amelie, but a very sweet girl who is appreciative
of her fame. Justine has the potential to achieve great things in women's tennis. This autograph is a must have.

Serena Williams
Personal experience: Arguably the friendliest of the Williams sisters,
but not an autograph you are guaranteed to get. Serena had problems with a crazy stalker in 2002,
and so has been known to keep her distance from the fans. Very wise given what happened to Monica Seles
in 1993, so don't be disappointed if you're unable to secure her autograph. Autograph wothy? Yes!
Serena will become a legend, she has already won all 4 Grand Slam events. A must have for your collection!

Virginia Wade
Personal experience: A priviledge to meet such a distinguished British lady.
Viriginia won the US Open in 1968 followed by Wimbledon in our Queen's Silver Jubilee year 1977.
