Serena Williams:

Widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time,] she was ranked world No. 1 in singles by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) for 319 weeks, including a joint-record 186 consecutive weeks, and finished as the year-end No. 1 five times. She won 23 Grand Slam women’s singles titles, the most in the Open Era, and the second-most of all time. She is the only player to accomplish a career Golden Slam in both singles and doubles.

Quote: “You Have to believe in yourself when no one else does” – Serena Williams

What does that Quote mean to me: As long as I put faith in myself and allow God to lead me anything can happen.
