A young girl, with dreams as high as the stadium lights, aimed to meet none other than Taylor Swift. Kelce lent a helping hand. With genuine kindness, he not only gave the girl a boost but strategically positioned her so that she could catch a glimpse of Swift. This definitely created an unforgettable moment for the little girl.

‘I’m a wreck’ – Bouchard opens up about her fear which she also felt before the match with Serena Williams

The setting was the round of 32 in Cincinnati, back in August 2013. At 19 years old, Bouchard was a relatively new face on the tour. On the other side of the court stood Serena Williams, a formidable figure with 16 major singles titles to her name. Overwhelmed with nerves, Bouchard was convinced she was about to embarrass herself.

In a move typical of a nervous teenager, she turned to the one person who could offer comfort—her mom. “I just remember calling her and saying, ‘I’m absolutely terrified, I was sure I was going to lose 6-0, 6-0.”

She expressed that the very same deep-seated fear of the unfamiliar and the fear of appearing foolish is precisely what she felt at the Pickleball tournament at the PPA Masters event in Palm Springs, California.

Bouchard said, “I’m like that kid going to a new school who goes to the cafeteria and doesn’t have any friends or know where anything is. I’m completely nervous. I’m a wreck. I am nervous about playing, of course, because this is so new to me. But beyond that, I’m definitely anxious a little bit and wondering what it’s going to be like walking around a tournament or a locker room.”
