Who is a female athlete you admire and why? I grew up in a tennis family. We played every Sunday afternoon in the warm weather on our high school tennis courts. My parents would never let any of us win — we had to beat them, and tennis is the one sport that gave me the love of competition. I admired Billy Jean King growing up and believe she is a wonderful icon and role model for women in sports. Tennis is still my favorite sport to watch in person and on a screen. My husband and I went to the US Open in September and were lucky to watch the women’s semi-final matches with two amazing American women — Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro. But the player I’m currently a fan of is Aryna Sabalenka, the reigning US Champion. Aryna is a powerhouse on the court and has overcome many person obstacles to achieve her success.
