Are you ready to become a fighter !



See below!

This young woman is determined to take herself up the tennis ladder. See The Guardian Article

"Keothavong should be inside the world's top 70 when the next rankings come out but on the evidence of the way she has played at Flushing Meadows there is every likelihood that she will reach her goal of breaking into the world's top 50, possibly by the end of this season."

How about the top 30 by next year's Wimbledon - any takers - a fiver?

Born and bred in Hackney - she knows how to fight - like me, I suspect, she enjoyed a good scrap as a kid!

"Keothavong grew up playing park tennis at Hackney Downs Park and Highbury Fields. She also enjoys kickboxing . ." see Wikipedia

Here she draws the condescending comment:
"That's nice stuff - it really is beautiful"
from the American commentators at Wimbledon as Keothavong thrashes Venus Williams!

. . . Well not quite . . .


but she gives Venus a good run for her money. Now when those hard hitting shots start going in - consistently - watch out everyone! Worth a watch if you wish to empathise with someone slogging against the odds.

Now you feel ready to tackle any task . . . washing up . . . mowing the lawn . . . here you come!
