Lone European in a sport long dominated by Asian programs — won gold in Rio 2016 with a screaming, fist-pumping intensity that shifted how women's singles is played. Two ACL injuries (2019 right knee, 2024 left knee in the Paris semifinal) cost her two more Olympic shots. The headline of her career is resilience, not just titles.
