Nice piece. I shall miss her - one of my favourite players to watch of recent years. One thing her retirement does make me wonder is which player retired while holding the most singles Slam titles - I can think of plenty who held 1, but few with 2 to their name like Barty (Henin held the FO and USO at the time of her 2008 retirement, but came back in 2010).
