Williams sisters are in Wimbledon Finals, repeat, finals. There were 126 other girls . Alright. A good job done ...a lot of money to be earned..bravo. But...
These 'girls' are on stage for about last 20 years , give or take a year or two, and still make it to the finals where world's best are competing...This is what is so special....They are still not tired..they are still finding it worthwhile..they are still able to practice the same game ..keep the body fit..AND...most importantly..not get bored.
'Not getting bored ' is one thing which separates them from others of their ilk. Their mind is trained to not to rebel against practicing on and on...keeping the body disciplined...not to surrender to the other worldly temptations ..
Consider similar examples...Martina Navaratilova playing in Grand slam at the age of 46 , Marlyn Oooty running 100 meter-dash finals at her 7th Olympics at the age of 40... they are absolutely focussed on what they are doing, they enjoy it to the extent that no other 'enjoyment' is able to distract them...
