Further, the 18-year-old trusted Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios to take care of the defense. “For defense, I’m gonna go with Nick Kyrgios.

At last, she chose Caty McNally as the 18-year-old is more interested in the coaching role herself. “I am not gonna be on the field, I’ll be the coach, so I think I am gonna go with Caty McNally,” she concluded.
