先日書いたこちら。
あとからじわじわと心に残った彼女の言葉。

25歳で引退したときの振り返り。
「25歳の私なりの精一杯の決断だった。どうして世界ランキング10位以内にいるのにやめるの?と言われたけど、今ならそれも理解できる。」

この言葉から想像する彼女の考え方に非常に共感した。
瞬間瞬間がんばって考えるんだろうな。
精一杯やるんだろうな。
たぶん後悔は少なくて、過去の自分を冷静に見られるんだろうな。
それで二度目の挑戦も決意できたんだろうな。

うれしい気持ちです。



I mentioned it the other day.
One of her comments impressed me later.

She looked back at the time when she retired from the first career.
“It was the most I could decide when I was 25 years old. I was asked why I would retire even though I was the top 10 tennis player and now I can understand, not at that time.”

Her way of thinking which was imagined from this comment moved me.
She might think deeply at a moment.
She might always do her best.
She rarely regrets and she might be able to look back herself in the past.
Therefore she could be a tennis player twice.

I am happy to feel it.
