The incorrect use of the word "deify" in the given sentences is:

"She deified tradition to become the first black tennis player."

In this sentence, "deify" is used to mean glorifying or idolizing tradition, which is not the correct usage of the word.

To understand why this usage is incorrect, let's look at the actual meaning of "deify."

"Deify" means to worship or regard someone or something as a god or divine. It is usually used to describe the act of elevating a person or an object to a divine status. For example, in the sentence "Since she passed the test set by the gods, she was deified," the word is correctly used to convey the idea of the person being elevated to a god-like status.

In the incorrect sentence, "deify" is incorrectly used to express the idea of glorifying or idolizing tradition. A more appropriate word in this context would be "exalted" or "elevated," as these words convey the idea of giving high importance or value to tradition without implying a divine status.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be:

"She exalted tradition to become the first black tennis player."
