Maybe you think you are good at something...
Well, I'd guess you'd have nothing on Esther Vergeer's achievements.
Never heard of her? She's rather good at tennis. These champions have said this about her:- Richard Krajicek: "Maybe the most successful athlete of all time." Maria Sharapova: "She shows true love and passion." Rafael Nadal: "Amazing for her will and ability." "Wheelchair tennis champion Esther Vergeer has retired after going over 10 years unbeaten. The last time she lost was to Daniele di Toro in Sydney on 30 January 2003, winning the next 470 matches." Vergeer's 10 years at the top Unbeaten singles run: 470 matches Titles won: 169 Matches won 6-0 6-0: 95 Match points faced: 1 (in 2008 Paralympic Final) Vergeer, won four Paralympic tennis singles gold medals She also won three golds in doubles Simply amazing.

"I wasn't that confident about my body, but they assured me I would have the final say on what photos were published and the photographer made me feel at ease," Vergeer told CNN. "I just think it's really cool that they wanted to put a disabled athlete on their front cover, and I am very happy with the photos." http://edition.cnn.com/2010/SPORT/te...ked/index.html Fair enough, no? |

"Vergeer is the most dominant player wheelchair tennis has ever seen, yet her inclusion in a magazine which sees prominent athletes bare their bodies has created as many headlines as anything she has achieved in her illustrious career.
