“Serena has redefined women in sports,” says Arlen Kantarian, former U.S.
Tennis Association CEO for professional tennis. “This is an athlete who has
that very, very unique combination of grit and glamour, power and grace, like
no other athlete I’ve come across in the last decade—or two, for that
matter. From Johannesburg to Sydney to Paris to Los Angeles to New York to London
to Japan, the impact she has made on sport has been extraordinary.”

Serena重新定義了運動界中的女性 他是一個獨一無二的充滿魅力.力量.迷人的綜合體
我這十年來..或二十年都沒有看過這樣的運動員
從約翰尼斯堡到雪梨 再到巴黎.洛杉磯.倫敦.紐約.東京
他所帶給這項運動的影響是非凡的
- Arlen Kantarian (前美國網球協會主席)

“When you think about what she has done for tennis, it’s kind of the same
thing as when you think about Michael Jordan in basketball,” Miami Dolphins
running back Ronnie Brown says.

當你想到他在網球中的貢獻 就像你會想到Michael Jordan之於籃球一樣
- Ronnie Brown (NFL Miami Dolphins後衛)

“I don’t know how many women of color have picked up rackets because of
Serena, but more African-American girls are playing tennis at the highest
level of juniors than I can ever remember,” says Patrick McEnroe, who
supervises player development for the USTA. “Clearly you’re seeing a lot
more interest in tennis from that community.”

我不知道有多少有色人種的女孩是因為Serena而拿起球拍
但現在越來越多黑人女孩在青少女時期就打出最好的水準
很清楚的我們正從這些族群中看到越來越多他們對於網球的興趣

“She has won so many championships with hard work and perseverance,” Venus
says. “I think she’s at the top of the list, although that may be a biased
opinion.”

“I hope she wins,” Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett says. “She has
revolutionized women’s tennis. … She’s definitely a diva, in her own way.
But she does it in a very, very classy, quaint way. I’m all for her.”

she has. I think it’s good for the game, and we need more of that.”
