  1. If I’m not working out, I feel extremely guilty. I love lifting weights — I do not love cardio, but I get it done.
  2. My glam routine every day is just a ton of moisturizer on my face.
  3. A super power I would love to have is to never age. That way I could play tennis forever.
  4. My favorite go-to snack is Blue Diamond almonds. They have protein and pair perfectly with whatever you want, like a fruit or smoothie or dried fruit or yogurt. And it gives me just what I need to stay in good shape and stay on the court.
  5. My favorite court to play on is a hard court because the bounce is always true.
  6. I love [board] games with words, like Scrabble.
  7. My favorite workout that’s not tennis? I definitely had my beach volleyball moment.
  8. My proudest accomplishment is being a big sister.
  9. If I could compete in another sport, it would be track and field.
  10. My post competition ritual depends on if I won or lost. If I won, it’s champagne and dinner, if I lost it’s any sweet treats and cartoons.
  11. I am most competitive with myself.
  12. My favorite place to eat is Italy.
  13. The most competitive person in my family is my sister Serena.
  14. My favorite way to spend the weekend is sleeping in.
  15. My nieces call me Auntie Vivi.
  16. It would be fun [for me] to play more tournaments.
  17. My first job was delivering phone books. I was three years old. My dad insisted that we worked — it didn’t matter how old you were.
  18. My favorite childhood memory was going to the playground.
  19. I’m really good in scary escape rooms.
  20. My favorite place to vacation is Europe. I feel very at home there.
  21. I’m really bad at basketball. I’m 6”1” so everybody expects me to be good at it.
  22. I have a little dog named Harold. We travel together. He’s 18 years old and he’s still so sweet.
  23. My favorite sweet treats are gummy bears, gummy worms, gummy whatever – I’m in for it.
  24. My favorite place to unwind is at home. I travel so much it’s a luxury just to sit on my own couch.
