I have played tennis for many years, and many of my close friends do as well. It is often said that tennis is much more of a mental game than physical. Tennis is a game where one single point, one move, can decide the outcome of the match-up. The most frustrating moments in tennis are when someone is "hooking." Hooking is when the opponent makes bad line calls to give themselves an advantage. If one watches a game of tennis, one may be surprised to see the anger and rage on the courts. When I am hooked, my instinct is to scream and become violent. My games are nowhere near the importance of a U.S. Open or other Grand Slam title, so it is hard to even begin to imagine the emotions that piled up in Serena Williams when she was discriminated on the court through blatantly foul line calls. If it were me, I would have quit and never looked back on the sport. I would have been so bitter that I would never have wanted anything to do with tennis again. Thus, the fact that Serena Williams stood up, spoke her mind, and went on to become the best in the world speaks volumes to the amount of courage and determination she had--something that surely made her mental game so strong. To think that prejudice would impact someone so much in a sport that prides itself on politeness and image is absolutely disgusting. This just goes to show how much farther we have to go in creating a more equal world.
