The 52-year-old Australian tennis coach is also a successful tennis commentator and interviewer who takes on different roles during the tennis tournament season.

Even though the Australian tennis coach shares a great connection with the 10th-ranked tennis player, she believes that he is not the American tennis player who can defeat the 20-year-old Spaniard, Alcaraz at the US Open. In a recent interview with Good Morning America, the 52-year-old former Australian tennis player called out Tommy Paul‘s name as the one to watch out for among the current set of American tennis players.

Along with that, she stated how the 14th-ranked tennis player has displayed his potential to do great on the court. Just before the US Open, he also defeated the 2023 Wimbledon champion, showcasing his tennis skills at their best.
