How are the other players so much worse than her? This is one of the oddest things in sports.

Esther on CNN. Nice interview
What really makes her stand out from the other players is that she's so motivated and trains really hard. She's only training with male wheelchair tennis players

THAT's how you dominate a sport.
But seriously, it's very odd how no one can challenge her.
It's difficult to understand how there's such a huge gap between her and the rest players.
