Bar None: Determination on Wheels

Despite being a paraplegic, Esther Vergeer is arguably the most dominant player in a single sport. This Dutch wheelchair tennis ace won 42 grand slam titles in her 18-year career, during which she enjoyed a 13-year reign as world number one. Esther awes us with her determination and drive, and discusses the pressure associated with being undefeated for years.
