"We met at a coffee shop in London so that was pretty exciting. I didn't think I would meet someone at a coffee shop. Who would have thought? Just after the tournament, Wimbledon."
"He didn't know anything about tennis, and he didn't know I was a tennis player, which was really nice. He was actually a bigger fan of golf and so he said, 'Well I really like golf. I don't really know much about tennis.' And I was like, 'Yes! That's so exciting,'" she said."Because it's fun to kind of be around someone that has interests in other things and that's not as familiar with the sport because you get to learn and grow with them and help them," she added.
