Apart from fashion, she also spoke about creating an impact on the world. She said, “Beyond that, leaving an impact on the world, I don’t wanna be known as just a tennis player. I wanna be known as someone who inspired, someone to wake up and feeling proud of themselves”. She has continued to aspire many young girls around the world to be better by sheer persistence.
