This Christmas week, we're sending out Secret Santa letters and gifts from stars of the sport to their rivals, peers, and (on varying levels) loved ones.

Hey ReRe,

Girl! You are the best. Never has someone brought me so much joy ... and, well, caused me so much pain. Case in point:

And yet you know that I'll always go to bat for you. (You and auntie Oracene, who, gosh, just can't stop pocket dialing me.) Like you, my lady, I'm a lover, not a fighter. At least when fuzzy yellow balls and silly chair umpires aren't involved. Seriously!

Will say I feel like your fans should understand me better: Yes, I'm Serbian. No, I don't get the majority of slang terms that Americans use. And, well, yes, that means I don't understand half of what comes off your tongue, ReRe. But I still love you. It's so fun globe trotting with you and getting up to all sorts of antics. We'll always have this. And remember this?

Well, I could go on writing sweet everythings to you, but I'll just stop here. You know my love for you is vital. Now, my gift to you this holiday season—it's a UOI! Instead of IOU, you get to carry my racquet bags through the Australian hard court swing. I mean, you're already doing a great job. "Pics or it didn't happen," as the Twitter kids say. So I snapped one!

Don't you worry. When I say "Australian swing," it's okay. You know I really just mean Melbourne. Ha, ha! I mean, remember Cincy? It was so us to bail on the event and then ride a roller coaster across the road before we jetted off to the Kardashian wedding, just a few hours shorter than the Kardashian marriage. This is how we roll, world!

Toodles,

Sascha
