U will add spin. U will fight for every point. U will not be afraid. It is not in your vocabulary. It is not in your nature. It is not in U, period. NO FEAR!!! —MATCH BOOK ENTRY ONE Ride a Little, Bump a Little My first tennis memory? People always ask about it, but I’m afraid I don’t have one. I just remember playing, all the time. It’s like tennis was always there, like going to services at Kingdom Hall. Like breathing. I saw a picture once of Venus pushing me in a stroller on a tennis court, but I don’t actually remember this moment.
But I leave the other earring in place, and as I turn momentarily from the net I take time to laugh to myself and think, Better be careful, Serena. These earrings are heavy! Don’t want to list to one side! I turn back to the game, and it starts to feel to me like neither one of us wants to stamp this first set. It’s early, but we’re just trading miscues. I take the next point, when Venus sits back on my return and hits it long. I take the next point, too—on a double fault. I’m happy to have it, but I can see V is frustrated, and when she gets frustrated she usually follows with an extra effort—and that’s just what happens here.

Whatever it happens to be, if it’s worth looking forward to it, if it’s worth taking aim, it’s worth doing. We went to tournaments from time to time. I remember watching Gabriella Sabatini, and thinking she was so tall and so beautiful, but at the same time thinking, Man, I can beat that girl. That’s where my head was at as a kid. My parents had me thinking I was invincible. Gabriella wasn’t built like the other girls on the tour; she was big and powerful, almost majestic.
