Kathy Rinaldi

Kathy Rinaldi reaching the Wimbledon semifinals in 1985 is the detail that stops me. She was on the professional tour as a teenager, competing in an era of women's tennis that demanded everything physically and mentally, and she still climbed to the last four at the All England Club. Three singles and two doubles titles may read modestly on paper, but they are proof of someone who battled at the very top. Retiring in 1997 and continuing her life as Rinaldi-Stunkel, she belongs to that generation of grit-forged grass-court fighters. I have a quiet admiration for athletes who peaked young yet endured, and she earns mine.
