- Share via
Jennifer Capriati’s return from a dark abyss to the pinnacle of the tennis world with her Australian Open victory is not simply a sports story. It’s an exhilaratingly warm saga of human tenacity and grit, an inspiration to all, not only those who have stumbled.
It’s early, but her thrilling journey vaults into the lead as (sports) story of 2001.
