And she told me in the final before I played, I think I was playing Maria in that final, Maria Sharapova.
She was like...
She said, you've got this.
You're going to do this.
She told me exactly how to play.
And I won in less than an hour.
And it was really genius.
So she actually was a very great coach.
And she'll say little things.
My mom is not someone that's going to fill a room.
She's going to say one word.
But it's going to be the most powerful word in the room.
And that's it.
And so she'll say one thing like, you need to attack the forehand.
If it's low or there's something, but you have to listen.
And if you listen, you can catch on to it and you can be like, okay.
And that's the kind of person she is, even in life.
You know, she always says like one, but raising my kids, she'll be like, you need to be with those girls.
And so no matter what's happening in the world or what we're all going through.
I always remember, I got to be with those girls.
