About Chloe »

One of the things that I truly love in life is tennis: the passion, the skill, the determination, the escape that watching Roger Federer hitting beautiful backhands and fiery forehands gives to me. I've always been fascinated by the world of sports journalism and the opportunities for investigation, analysis and supposition that every journalist can explore, so perhaps I feel that by joining this great network I can contribute to that in the smallest way.

If you do happen to stumble on one of my articles, try to enjoy - and try to be nice in your comments...
