LMAO!!!!! You REALLLLLLLY have a way with words.... There was not one moment that I can say was "spent" on Ivo's stuttering in Croatia. Not on TV, not on radio, papers... It's just not discussed in public, or at least I haven't heard about anything. // Preparing the article for this conference, I wrote an E-mail to our tennis association, asking specifically about Ivo's stuttering, and got no answer whatsoever. So it seems stuttering is still perceived as something we should keep quiet about, like if we mentioned it, we would burst some baloon. I'm not sure how willing would Ivo himself be comfortable to talk (or write) about it. Our unspoken manner with dealing with all disabilities is "act as if it's not there, don't talk about it, talking about it gives it significance".
