Timeline
Esther Mary Vergeer (born 18 July 1981) is a Dutch former professional wheelchair tennis player.
Vergeer won 43 major titles (21 in singles and 22 in doubles), 23 year-end championships (14 consecutive in singles and nine in doubles), and seven Paralympic gold medals (four in singles and three in doubles).
However, in June 1989, Vergeer experienced headaches, pressure behind the eyes and pain in her neck.
Despite investigations doctors found nothing.
In October of that same year, Vergeer began to complain of pain around the groin.
Then, during the holiday season, she had a stroke and had to have a shunt placed in her brain again.
Finally, doctors discovered that Vergeer had a vascular myelopathy around her spinal cord.
This abnormality caused the strokes that Vergeer experienced.
On 15 January 1990, she had a nine-hour operation, which left her unable to move her legs.
Vergeer had one final operation in March but was left paralyzed.
During rehabilitation she learned to play volleyball, basketball, and tennis in a wheelchair.
After playing basketball for several years at club level, she was invited to join the national wheelchair basketball team.
During the 1996 season Vergeer won one singles title in Tilburg.
She played with the Dutch team that won the European championship in 1997.
She was the world No. 1 in women's wheelchair singles from 1999 to her retirement in February 2013.
Vergeer went undefeated in singles for ten straight years, ending her career on a winning streak of 470 matches.
She has often been named the most dominant player in professional sports.
Vergeer spent 668 weeks as the world No. 1, first claiming the position on 6 April 1999, regaining it on 2 October 2000, and relinquishing it on 21 January 2013 (shortly before her retirement).
Vergeer was the ITF World Champion for 13 years in a row.
In doubles, Vergeer won 136 titles, 27 of which were won at the majors.
She has three Paralympic gold medals for doubles, and was part of the winning World Team Cup side on 12 occasions.
Vergeer went undefeated in women's singles matches for ten years, having last lost on 30 January 2003 to Daniela Di Toro.
Afterwards, she won 120 tournaments, 470 matches, defeated 73 different opponents and did not lose a game on 95 occasions.

After a swimming lesson at the age of 6 Vergeer became dizzy and later became unconscious.
She was taken to a hospital, where it was discovered that she had a build-up of fluids in her brain, as well as brain hemorrhage.
Doctors placed a shunt in her brain, and Vergeer was released from the hospital six weeks later.
