Serena Williams is a fan favorite with an impressive record to match, but she is most certainly not above defeat. How she handled the loss to her German opponent is what makes Serena the true star of this match.

She cheerfully accepted her opponent’s victory.

Following the match, Serena said, “Thank you for tonight guys, it was a great match. Angie congratulations, you did do well, you really deserved it, I really hope you enjoy this moment.” Relishing in her win, Kerber responded, “Serena, you are an inspiration, an unbelievable great person, so congrats for everything you did already.”

Suddenly, I am reminded of this.
