Everyone deserves equality, says Serena W. Sam wants to restore dominance

She wore a black T-shirt with an eloquent inscription: “Equality.” The tennis icon could not miss an opportunity to remind one of her most famous compatriots. And she just got it because it was just midnight in America.

And she spoke on the opposite side of the planet in Melbourne, Australia. “As we celebrate Martin Luther King’s Day, it is important to spread his message,” she preached at a press conference. “Equality between people and human rights is something we should always keep in mind. We should move forward in this direction. ”

It is difficult to compare a man whose actions and words have changed history with a” mere “athlete, even though he is more famous than William’s sisters in his craft icon.A reference to a charismatic speaker is especially attracted to black athletes. They perceive him as someone who greatly facilitated their lives; probably because Serena did not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity.

It is just ironic in sporting terminology that while Luther King put his life behind the idea to allow everyone the same conditions, Williams would like to restore her “tennis totality. p>

Sure, she’s been 35 years old. The second half of 2016 did not work out of her mind. Only Wimbledon dominated the tournament of the most prestigious four, so it was no longer true that wherever her legs come in, the competition may slowly be good for the title.

Now it is more and more hunger to return. The first title, ideally from the Australian Open, would make Serena 23.a grandslam cup, which would bounce back to Steffi Graf (22). Margaret Court, the historically most successful Australian, has 24, so the plan sounds – to catch up and skip.

So, perhaps after the initial win over Bencic, she has approached the fans with personal plans to pursue a recent engagement with millionaire Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit Social Network , turn into a wedding: “In February it will come. At the moment I’m only concentrating on tennis. I do not think so. ”

Ohanian was also watching her entry to the sunny Melbourne tournament.For a while, her game was great, sometimes she knew that the practice was missing. “I made a few mistakes in key moments,” she acknowledged; it also involved one double-bark in the sword.

But what: the first step has mastered and grandslamas are not winning in the opening days.

The eyes of everybody will aim more and more. She is a legend, as confirmed by the young Destanee Aiava, the first grandmaster born in 2000. When Serena identified herself as her idol and the woman who attracted her to tennis, the American triumphant trained her. “One of the most beautiful days of my life,” shouted 16-year-old Aiava.

She fell in the 1st round, her idol is still starting and the Czechs stand in her way.Lucie Safarova is waiting for her in the next duel, and if she would have the strength of the rankings, she could call Barbora Strycova in the 4th round.

But the nationality of the rival is Serena. He wants to rule. Outside the courts, her heart glows for equality, and he enjoys enjoying dominance for a while.
