When you’re not traveling for a tournament, do you have any rules or rituals you follow at home to come back to a sense of normalcy? Now I can see when he’s playing the match, what his opponent’s strategy is against him, too. I don’t think it’s as fun to watch when you don’t understand the scoring and the points and the strategy behind what the players are doing. Whereas probably the first year, I was unsure, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. And now during the match, I get to see him execute that and really understand what’s happening. He does a really deep analysis of how his strategy is gonna be for the match.

Prior to matches Taylor will tell me, “This is how I’m gonna play the game today. Now, because I’ve been on the tour for three years, I know the game really well.

Taylor is trying to teach me a little bit - that usually ends up in a fight. I’m trying! I was a theater and speech and debate kid when I was in high school so I am not athletic in any way and my coordination is pretty awful.

I bring my Fenty powder because, like yesterday it was so hot, I was dripping sweat, shiny. Yes, I always bring my Canon G7X to vlog for YouTube. What are your must-haves that you bring to every match? You travel with Taylor to see him play for about 35 weeks out of the year. The writer was so great and I love the way that she portrayed me.
