“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

In sports a lot of people are on top of their sport for a minute and then you never hear from them or they just become average players. But a few players in there sport became superstars and stay superstars for a long time.

Kobe , Lebron, Manning, Felix Hernandez here in Seattle, Tiger, Brady, Floyd Mayweather and more. And yes Serena Williams is one star who has continued to stay a star in the world of tennis. I truly truly respected Serena Williams and every sports fan should realize how great of a tennis player and superstar she is.

Serena was born September 26, 1981 in Saginaw, Michigan to Richard Williams and Oracene Price. She and her sister Venus, also a great player were trained at a young age in the game of tennis by their father Richard. Williams currently ranks as the #1 women’s tennis in the world by the WTA. She first became #1 in the world way back in 2002 and has regained being #1 six times!!!

She became the oldest #1 player in the world on February 18, 2013. Some say she is the greatest female tennis player in the games history. She is the ONLY female player to have won over $60 million in prize money. She holds the most major singles titles, doubles and mixed doubles titles. She is just great.doe

Off the court Williams makes cash too. She and her sister Venus have planned for what they want to do when they hang up the racquets. You can find Serena on the Home Shopping Network selling her lines of purses and jewelry and ladies wear all the time. Word is she makes millions from that too.

Who know how long Williams will stay on top of ladies tennis. She is 33 years old. Soon her game has to go downhill that is just human nature. You can never win against father time. But right now Serena is winning against father time and many other female tennis players. When you watch Williams play she can be playing kind of bad then all of a sudden she reaches back and somehow obtains more power and BAM another title for the great Serena Williams.

By the way I had a chance to meet the Williams Sisters here in the Seattle area a few years ago and obtained a short interview with them. It was great to meet the ladies and their mom. So sports fans I will admit, the ONLY time I watch tennis period is when Serena or Venus are playing. Let’s see how long Serena can keep being a great #1 in the world type player. But don’t worry, she will be just fine when she retires.
