Hook could be better. How about ... that J.T. Blatty (pictured) was a tennis captain and US Army captain before photographing military volunteers in Ukraine? Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 02:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mgreason: So the change you're suggesting is "tennis champion" to "tennis captain"? Actually, I think that weakens it. Every college team has a captain, not every team has a champion. Also, is there a reason you wrote your review form twice above? --GRuban (talk) 15:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

@GRuban: I re-read the tennis sources cited and none of them say that she was champion of anything. The members of her team won the league title, she was MVP and named to the "all decade team", etc. So pronouncing her "champion" is your opinion?

Ah, I see the point. I was looking for a single word that meant unusually good, standout, exceptional, memorable tennis player; one they still talk about 15 years later, and consider one of the best women's tennis players of the whole league's first 25 years. How do you feel about "star"? --GRuban (talk) 12:50, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
