Taylor Townsend is the next Serena Williams – Tennis News
American junior, Taylor Townsend, is the girl who resembles Serena Williams and is working hard to become a tennis professional. Townsend physically resembles the veteran largely and is very talented as a player. However, her critics
believe that she needs to lose some weight in order to become a big hit in tennis.
In an interview with the media, her mother said, “At the end of the day, you have to stand on what you’ve learned and fall back on what you know and everything you’ve been taught. Over all, what Taylor’s been through this year
has helped her to become more self-assured and even stronger in who she is and not have to look for the approval of somebody else. At the end of the day, her results speak for themselves. When Serena came out, to have somebody who looks like her in every way
and has gone through similar experiences, it resonated a lot with Taylor.”
16-year-old Townsend is a big fan of Williams, as she considers her one of the most powerful candidates amongst all the female players. The American senior is the only ray of hope for her country as many compatriots of her age
seek retirement, she is still eager to secure more.
The 31-year-old, Williams is known for her remarkable strength and confidence. She secured an outstanding triumph at the green grass courts of Wimbledon 2012 and after that point onwards, there was no turning back for her. She
clinched her first ever singles gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics and in the end the US Open Grand Slam. However, she is still not on the world number one spot as she contested in lesser tournaments than her higher ranked opponents did.
Ranked 496th in the WTA rankings, Townsend, is struggling her way to come out of the junior’s category. She was the finalist at the Australian Open junior tournament held at the hard courts of Melbourne and nudged forward
by consolidating a three-set win against Yulia Putintseva.
Her performance was consistent in the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships as she made it until third round. She battled until the quarter-finals of the US Open, taking maximum advantage of her homeland. The American rising
star has a great deal of ambitions bagged with her and she is ready to go to any extent achieve wonders in times to come!
