Margaret Court: Serena Williams Tak Pernah Mengidolakan Saya

  • Legenda tenis dunia, Margaret Court, meyakini Serena Williams tak pernah mengagumi dirinya.
  • Margaret Court masih memegang rekor sebagai petenis putri dengan gelar grand slam terbanyak hingga saat ini.
  • Wanita asal Australia itu menyebut petenis di era modern dapat lebih banyak kemudahan dibandingkan saat dirinya masih aktif.

SKOR.id - Legenda tenis putri dunia, Margaret Court, meyakini bahwa dirinya tak pernah menjadi sosok yang diidolakan Serena Williams.

Menyusul keputusan Serena yang pensiun setelah tersingkir pada babak ketiga US Open 2022, pekan lalu, Court bicara blak-blakan.

"Serena, saya mengaguminya sebagai pemain. Tapi, saya merasa dia tidak pernah mengagumi saya," ujar Court dilansir Telegraph.

Serena Williams mengakhiri kariernya dengan koleksi 23 gelar grand slam, hanya berbeda 1 dari Court, yang memenangkan 24 gelar.

Dengan pencapaian itu, Court masih memegang rekor sebagai petenis putri dengan gelar terbanyak di turnamen grand slam hingga saat ini.

Wanita asal Australia tersebut berhasil memenangi gelar grand slam di sektor tunggal dalam rentang waktu 1960 hingga 1973.

Court, yang namanya diabadikan untuk lapangan tenis di Melbourne Park, menyebut pemain di era modern dapat lebih banyak kemudahan.

"Saya akan senang bermain di era ini, rasanya jauh lebih mudah. Saya ingin sekali membawa serta keluarga atau teman (saat bertanding)," ujarnya.

"Tapi, saya tidak bisa. Kami harus pergi sendiri atau dengan tim nasional. Orang-orang tidak melihat semua itu (sebagai tantangan)."

"Kami harus bermain setiap minggu karena tidak punya uang. Sekarang, mereka bisa lepas landas kapan pun mereka mau, terbang kapan pun mereka mau."

"Kami bisa pergi selama 10 bulan. Itu sebabnya saat pertama kali pensiun pada 1965, saya rindu rumah," tutur wanita 80 tahun itu.

Kala itu, para petenis sulit berkeluh kesah tentang apa yang dirasakan karena tak ada orang-orang terkasih di sekeliling mereka.  

"Anda mungkin bersama orang lain tetapi tidak seperti memiliki keluarga. Kami (bahkan) tidak memiliki psikolog atau pelatih bersama kami."

"Ini adalah dunia yang sama sekali berbeda. Itulah yang membuat saya kecewa, bahwa pemain hari ini tak menghormati masa lalu," imbuh Court.
