Who’s the best athlete? Serena Williams

By Rachel Larsen

January 15, 2024

When I think of who the greatest sports player of all time is, only one name comes to mind. No single athlete in the world compares to tennis champion Serena Williams. Though my knowledge of tennis is slim to nothing, watching Serena play tennis on TV has always been incredibly inspiring. Watching the way she moves about effortlessly is mesmerizing. She started her professional tennis career at only 14 years old, and later in her life she went on to win 23 Grand Slam titles in the women’s singles category, making her the second tennis player of all time to achieve that many Grand Slam titles. On top of that, Williams ranked as the number one tennis player in the world by the Women’s Tennis Association for over 319 weeks. There are so many great things I could say about Serena, but for now I’ll put it this way: Serena Williams is a role-model for numerous women athletes and she is without a doubt the best sports player of all time.

About the Contributor

Rachel Larsen, Copy Editor

Rachel Larsen (11) is the copy editor of the Mohi Mix Magazine. She had been interested in journalism since she was in middle school, despite initial intimidation. “I joined my freshman year, and I was really intimidated by it, but I’ve always really liked writing, and it was interesting for me to be able to interview people, and write about events happening around the school. “ Larsen said. Her passion for writing and school events grew from a middle school English unit and her desire to engage with her school community. Balancing her involvement in cross country and distance track, she prioritizes journalism deadlines over sports practice. Excited about her new role as copy editor, she looks forward to her junior year, which includes driving and a more substantial role in the newspaper. Rachel is the youngest in her family. She has an older brother and sister, both graduated from Monarch in the past years. She is now the only one of her siblings to be at Monarch. “I feel more independent here.” Larsen said.
