The quest for the gold in tennis at the 2012 London Olympics begins on Saturday and my dear friend Serena Williams is everything when it comes to tennis. Serena Williams a five-time Wimbledon champion, two-time doubles gold medalist with her sister Venus Williams and her most recently 14 major title just three weeks ago is on fire!
I am fortunate to call Serena Williams one of my closest friends! She is sweet, humble and has the willpower of a champion. She has endured a lot in the past two years, but no matter what Serena has managed to get back on her feet and play with everything she’s got.
Serena Williams an Olympic Champion in My Heart
Favored for the gold in doubles with her sister Venus, Serena will also attempt to chase her first gold medal as a single. The No.4 seed, Serena Williams will face Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, a rematch of the 2008 U.S Open finals. Venus Williams will face No.9 Sara Errani of Italy.
With admiration and much excitement I will be glued to my seat cheering for my girl Serena Williams in spirit at the 2012 London Olympics. She hasn’t won a gold medal yet, but in my heart she’s already an Olympic champion.
