Venus has had an incredible career. Who even knows exactly how long Sjogern's Syndrome has affected her play, really? I'm willing to bet it's been longer than most of us know.
Regardless, she has won 7 singles majors, and 13 doubles majors for a total of 20. She truly is the Queen of Wimbledon, and one of the greatest players of all time.
But just as impressively, she has been a fierce advocate for the game of tennis, and particularly for women on tour. Her advocacy for equal prize money was based on reason and facts, and she refuted all of the wishy-washy opponents with class and a quiet but powerful dignity. She didn't just follow in the footsteps of Billie Jean King, she tread new ground and inspired a new generation of tennis players to keep up the fight.
It brought me great pleasure to see her beat Vika in Tokyo. Here's to hoping she manages to be healthy at the most opportune times in whatever time she has left on tour. It's an honor and a privilege each and every time I get to see her play.
