About Stephane Carter
Ana wears very strange leggings with stripes under thigh muscles. I guess that it is some kind of medical equipment for her back-legs problem
From what i understand is that Ana has a minor injury. That’s what I am told by my friend who is attending the tournament as a presser. Don’t worry about it. She’s going to be fine.
Thanks for the comment. We always appreciate those.
