Madison Keys marries Bjorn Fratangelo with Pegula, Stephens, Townsend and more tennis friends in attendance

On Friday, world No. 1 Simona Halep shared a special video she received from her longtime coach Darren Cahill. The Romanian said the words in the video, a compilation of motivational quotes, have helped her recover from tough losses.

I was given a special gift last week. A video that means a lot to me as the words have been repeated to me over the past two years, especially after tough losses.

It was meant to be private but I'd like to share it with you because it tells you my story.

Thanks @darren_cahill pic.twitter.com/Qz5FVoApb5

Here are some of the quotes, voiced over by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs:

“Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.”

And: "The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.”

The video has generated an overwhelming reaction from the 27-year-old's legion of fans.
