In the same letter, Mari also talked about her childhood memories with her sister and especially, playing tennis with her. She said,

“When we were growing up—like, from age 3 to age 16—we would play sets every single day. Since I’m the older sister, I always won. But you never gave up. Every single day you said, ‘I am going to beat you tomorrow,’ without your spirit going down. It was like constant motivation for you.”
