2465480, She's 5 of the greatest sports stories ever in ONE person Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Jul-13-15 11:39 AM
LITERALLY
Any ONE of these would be among the 10 greatest stories in the history of sports
ANY ONE
And she's all of them
1) The race and poverty story in a wealthy sport (this would be remarkable even if she was barely top 10 all time...if she won 3 Grand Slams this would be true)
2) The being awesome at tennis story (even if she was white and rich, the manner in which she wins, the 21-4 GS finals record, the possible taking over the mantle, the two different arcs of dominance 12 years apart)
3) The age story (she redefined aging in female athletes)
4) The illness and recovery story
5) The her and her sister story.
