What's your favorite tennis memory?

Definitely when I won my first international title. I had been working so hard for it and it felt amazing to see all of my dedication pay off.

What's something people don't know about you?

I'm also a huge bookworm! Whenever I'm not on the court, you can usually find me with my nose in a novel.
