Product Description
With a power serve of 129 miles per hour and countless titles to her name
(including number one in the world), Venus Williams is an incredible force in
the world of tennis. She stands 6'1" and possesses great reach, or
"wingspan," and a rare mental tenacity that has put many, many trophies on
her mantelpiece. It was thanks to Williams' tireless campaigning that the
bizarre sexist tradition of awarding a smaller prize money to female tennis
players was corrected, at least at Wimbledon and at the French Open.
(Amusingly, Williams herself became the first beneficiary of this amendment
when she won Wimbledon in June, 2007.) Williams' ascent to fame has been
meteoric from the first. At her Grand Slam debut at the 1997 French Open, she
reached the final, and although she did not win that match, her world ranking
shot up from 66 to 25 in one day. By 1999, she was number three, and by 2000
she had won a gold medal for the U.S. at the Olympics--the first of two, thus
far. This sense of un-stoppability has always characterized Venus Williams,
and makes her gripping to watch. Now the British fashion photographer Koto
Bolofo has caught some of her magic on camera, in ways that have never been
seen before. Granted unrivalled access to the athlete, during both her public
tournaments and many private moments, Bolofo offers here a monumental
portrait of a one of today's greatest athletes.
