Tatiana Golovin has black holes in her memory because of the traumatic end of her tennis career

Man makes plans . . . and God laughs. Tatiana Golovin was among the biggest young talents on the WTA Tour and just as the Frenchwoman, who reached a career-high ranking of No.12 in February 2008, felt that everything was coming together in the 2007/2008 period, everything fell apart. Her career was abruptly shut down by a chronic inflammatory spinal disease at the age of 20 and in a recent interview with The Guardian she talks about the painful realization that the dreams she had worked towards her whole life were shattered and how important was the comeback she made last year after a 11-year hiatus.
