I guess she couldn't hang in there with it. And so, Capriati is close to completing the 11-year circle of promise, which started at Roland Garros when she was 14 in 1990. She reached the semifinals in her Grand Slam debut, losing to Seles, and the future seemed limitless. So much has happened. We've gone through so much and it proves if you believe in yourself, work hard and dig deep, you can accomplish anything.
Dreams come true.
Capriati survived a troubled past, and is thriving in the present. Her whole family is in Paris, including younger brother Steven. He was 11 in 1990. She was reflective too, pointing out her goal used to be to simply win a round at a Grand Slam event. It wasn't looking that way a few years ago when I lost two first rounds here.
