Anyone who knows me knows I’m an introvert, and anyone who sees me at tournaments will notice that I often wear headphones because it alleviates my anxiety, ”she explains. “Although the tennis press has always been kind to me (and I want to apologize to all the cool journalists I have hurt), I am not a born speaker and I feel huge waves of anxiety before addressing the media around the world.
