Venus Williams single handedly changed the game of Tennis. She and sister Serena entered and arena where black people weren't really welcomed. They didn't have crossover appeal of an Arthur Ashe or an Althea Gibson. They were from Compton, the ghetto. Commentators as well as their peers, seem to disregard and belittle them, however they let their Tennis game fight their battles.
Today they are the recipients of 24 single grand slam trophies and 13 doubles grand slam trophies. At 33(Venus) and 32(Serena) the sisters are still at the Top of their game, with no sights on retiring. So GAME on Maria Sharapova and the rest, the William sisters are ready to serve!!
She's my SHERO
