How did Serena Williams contribute to tennis?
Venus Williams is a female tennis player (born June 17, 1980) who excelled in, if not dominated the sport for much of the 2000's, and played competitively into the following decade. She was three times ranked #1 woman player in the world (the first black female to attain that ranking) winning 21 Grand Slam events. Ironically, her sister Serena (a year younger) became even more successful, and the two were often paired in doubles, winning more than a dozen Grand Slam doubles titles (including 3 of 4 in 2009).
What type of contributor is Roger Federer?
I don't think there are any two thoughts to this question. His contribution to the World Tennis Sport has been significant and immense. He is an icon to almost every other young tennis professional wanting to make a mark in the tennis world He is currently ranked number 1 by the ATP after having won both the GranSlam and French Open titles for 2009. He has held the Number 1 position for a record breaking 237 consecutive weeks. Many sports analysts, tennis critics, former and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time. Federer has won 15 Grand Slam singles titles, more than any other male player. He has beaten the record of the 14 grand slams held by the precious great Pete Samras. He has 5 US Open, 6 Wimbledon, 1 Fench Open and 3 Autralian Open Titles already and many more yet to come by. Its quite entertaining and almost a joy to watch 'Roger' play on the court. His craftsmanship is incomparable. His technique, method and style are a class that gives him an edge and stands him apart from any other player. Though at times, you just get the feeling that this man gets too very focussed on his technique that he forgets to move in quickly and follow up on the shots from his opponent. I think if he works and improves on the aggressivess and power, he can really bring in players like Rafel and Roddick to their knees. I personally think Roger Freder is one of thr best or infact the best player that Tennis Sport has ever seen. He is already a legend and i pray and wish him all the best to win many more titles and records in future.
