Not a tennis fan but I definitely recognize her talent.

she also got banned for drug use.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

For 10 years, she was taking a legal prescription medicine for the heart which was not on the banned list and one day, it was added to the banned list.
