Shoma realised that she needed to work extremely hard and with

complete dedication to do well in any sport. She rested for a while

and took a nap. Once awake, she watched TV for some time. Serena

Williams was playing at Wimbledon and she won the trophy.

Later, Shoma began reading the encyclopaedia. Soon, her mother
called, “Shoma, can you come and tidy this room?” “I will, Mom. Just

let me read about Serena Williams.” “Oh! So you want to know about

her after watching the match, I guess.”

“Yes, Mom.”

Shoma began to read:
“Serena Jameka Williams

was born in September 1981

at Michigan in the United
States of America. She is an

American professional tennis

player. The Women’s Tennis

Association (WTA) ranked

her world No. 1 in singles on eight occasions between 2002 and 2017.
She became the world No. 1 for the first time in July 2002.

“She has been the female player to hold all four Grand Slam titles

simultaneously many times. With her sister, Venus Williams, she has

held four Grand Slam women’s doubles titles simultaneously.”

“Serena has won an all-time record of 13 Grand Slam singles titles on
hard court. She has also won 14 Grand

Slam doubles titles with her sister, Venus.” dedication devotion and
commitment

After reading this, Shoma put the book Grand Slam a set of major
championships or matches in a
down and wondered how she could reach particular sport in the same year,
such heights. She must have surely put in in particular tennis, golf, etc.
simultaneously at the same time
very sincere efforts.
