In response, the reigning US Open champion said, “Yeah, a lil girl gave me this bracelet. I used to make these when I was younger, so it’s giving me flashbacks, and we kinda traded—I gave her my headband for the bracelet. She didn’t ask for the headband, but there’s no point in taking it without giving something in return.”
