To start as off, WTA journalist and ‘No Challenges Remaining’ co-host Courtney Nguyen felt the feelings of Lucic-Baroni and they became her own.
No surprise to anyone that I’m already a walking raw nerve these days so yeah I’m a sobbing pile of tears right now. Mirjana, you beauty.

After the Croat’s stunning on-court interview, it seems there has already begun a rumor about a film about the career of Mirjana Lucic-Baroni
Can’t wait for Cate Blanchett’s Oscar-winning turn as Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in the upcoming Searchlight feature film.

An enthusiastic tennis fan also managed to find almost identical pictures of Lucic from her two Grand Slam semifinals; Wimbledon 1999 and Australian Open 2017
