During the spring, I was eagerly anticipating returning to the court after a seven month hiatus. Seeking advice on improving my tennis career, I conversed with my friend Tiger Woods – known for his fierce determination as a top athlete. “I aspire to be like you,” I confessed. To which he responded, “Serena, there’s no need to make grand commitments. Just give it your all each day during those two weeks and let fate take its course.” Recalling this conversation today brings me inspiration and motivation in pursuing my goals as an athlete.” Serena wrote fondly of that time period.
