Every child deserves a safe and loving home. We all know that is not always the case. As a mum of two boys, being a Champion is very close to my heart as we need to teach our children from a young age how to be kind and caring human beings. I love the fact that Deon and my boys, Alexander and Luk Henri, are on the poster with me, as it is important for parents to start conversations about healthy relationships and how we treat each other and ourselves at a young age.

The Gisborne Herald • Thursday, January 23, 2020 SPORT 31 Respect for Millman keeps Federer’s feet on the ground TENNIS by Melissa Woods, AAP MELBOURNE — Roger Federer’s respect for his next Australian Open opponent, John Millman, is enough to bring the Swiss great back to earth after his second-round masterclass. Federer, 38, was unstoppable in his Round 2 match against Serbian Filip Krajinovic, taking just over an hour and a half to nail a 6-1 6-4 6-1 victory. The third seed barely put a foot wrong with the Rod Laver crowd, with commentators also in raptures after a performance that included 42 winners. But attention quickly turned to Federer’s match-up with Millman, who also had a straight-sets second round win over Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz. The Australian famously ousted the 20-time major champion in the round of 16 at the 2018 US Open, winning in four sets, 3-6 7-5 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3). The result is one Federer hasn’t forgotten. “I almost passed out when I played against him in New York,” he said. “It was so hot but he had no problem as he’s from Queensland, so he was like ‘normal stuff’.” The pair have met two other times and, while Federer has got the result, they have always been tight affairs. Federer said he had practised a lot with world No.47 Millman and rated him as one of the fittest players on the tour. “He’s a super good guy and an unbelievably tough opponent,” he said. “There aren’t many guys fitter than him out there and those are the guys I respect FITNESS SHOWS: Australia’s John Millman makes a backhand return to Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz during their second-round the most, actually, because they get the singles match at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne yesterday.
