The Greatest of All Women Athletes

I do not pretend to know nothing about tennis. The question I did have as a talk show caller was for the famed talk show speaker/guest on the Ronn Owens show some years back. The star guest speaker was Andre Agassi and it was my pleasure to ask him a question. His comment to my question stated that he did not see an influx of many people of color other than white athletes into the pro circuit of tennis where the highest level of tennis is dominated by people of the Caucasian race and the reason is that tennis technique and trade secrets of the game is limited to the privilege Caucasian race or the dominate race who have the privilege to gain access to the private tennis clubs. Let us make no doubt about it such club membership require wealth just to join. People of color or non whites simply do not have the money. But as talk show host Ronn Owens indicated what was the Serena and Williams sisters doing at the time my question was being posed? They were dominating in the woman's tennis division headed and coached by their father. Having experience as a small time tennis tournament and former captain of my tennis team for a great high school such as Oakland Technical High School I would have to say the Serena and Williams sister are an exception to the rule. Now what I am saying is nothing new. The Williams sisters have dominated in tennis as equally well as has Oprah Winfrey has as a talk show host and don't tell me I know nothing about talk show hosts. From time to time on occasions I have had to deal with these people on the air and discuss my perspectives on a given subject of discussion be it in agreement with such professional talk show hosts or in disagreement. Put it mildly Serena Williams has clearly defied the color barrier to dominate in the class of the sport world of tennis. There may be others to follow simply put we saw Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball but will tennis be broken any time soon? If it takes a certain amount of great wealth to produce a top flight tennis player then doesn't it appear that a nation exercising great power and economic wealth would be in contention of producing this exactly recipe. Just because the New York Yankees did't reach the World Series each and every year of their play in baseball does not mean that they are through.
