In the country down under, Australia, we are witnessing one of the outstanding displays of talent, will, and fortitude of any athlete of any era. Serna Williams is proving to be one of the all time greats. Playing with her hamstring and calf bandaged with limited mobility; she is demonstrating to the world that she is the #1 tennis player. Last night with her doubles partner, Venus, she won another doubles title. Collectively they are the best tennis doubles team ever. But the story of The Australia Open is all about Serna. She has overcome tremendous odds at the ripe old age of 28 to reach the finals match. I turned off the television the other night because she was down one set and was on her way to losing the second set. When I woke up the next morning to review the results, I was surprised that she had won. Only through grit and determination could she have won that match that has propelled her into the finals. Her physical condition is not up to par; but her talent, her will to win, and her reputation as a fighter proceeds her. i definitely will be glued to the tube on Saturday to watch The Australian Open title match. My best to Serna the world is watching a true champion!
