      I'm a fan since 1976 When Bjorn Borg won Wimbledon and I was in England. I was sitting Courtside for the first time in my life at the Usopen in 2001, when Hingis was playing Venus in the Semifinals. Richard walked out of stands when it appeared Venus wasn't going to win. But Venus came back, and I was so loud when she won with excitement she actually waved to me. It could of been a part of the movie 😂

    The life story holds notion that their dad was the star of the family when the movie provides the audience realize their mother was also a star and end result was they produced two star athletes. Parenting through the connection of mutual love has so much power in influence and impact. A commendable performance indicates this is an Oscar worthy actress. 💫

    Another under-rated Actress. She was Awesome in that movie, she should have gotten an Oscar for that role
