Explanation:

"Maureen Connolly: Tennis Star!" tells the story of famed tennis star Maureen Connolly. The short text included the highlights or summary of the tennis star and her rise to fame and the incident that left her crippled and then her eventual death at the young age of 34.

The given points or sentences are about Maureen Connolly. First comes the sentence about her having to stop taking horse riding classes as it was expensive and her family couldn't afford it. Moving on to a much cheaper hobby, she took up tennis, paying for her lessons by picking up tennis balls on the court. And since she was small and had small hands, she had to get special tennis rackets made for her.

Once she started playing, she became famous and given a special name "Little Mo". She then went on to win many tournaments and championships. Shortly after she won her third Wimbledon tournament in 1954, got into an accident, leaving her legs so damaged that she had to retire from the sport.

But that did not stop her from leaving the sport she loves. She began to focus on other aspects of the sport, helping teach tennis lessons to children and teenagers. At the young age of 34, she died of cancer.
