Ajla Tomljanovic and Chris Evert share a special bond and recently, the Australian opened up about how Evert encourages her all the time.
Ajla Tomljanovic was able to reached the quarterfinal of Wimbledon for a 2nd time in a row this year and after Wimbledon she sat down to talk with Mitch Michals for the Inside In podcast. In the podcast Tomljanovic spoke about Evert and how much the legend encourages her during events:
"She's funny because she will text me, she always texts me before my first round, like, 'Good luck, you got this', and then the more I start winning, she will always text me in my day off and be like, 'Hey, get your head in the game, you're not finished here."
She further continued:
"So she'd always be the one that will give all the encouragement but always keep me hungry for more and remind me like 'You're not done here'. It's almost like 'I hope you enjoyed yesterday but today, you're thinking about tomorrow'. And I always love that because she's right, I didn't come here just to make the third or fourth round, and at the end of the day, she was proud of me but I just love that she just keeps my head where it should be."
Reacting to her comments, Evert wrote on Twitter:
"You are so funny @Ajlatom, that's why I love you."
