It has been almost ten years since Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis (Jeter) are together. Before meeting Hannah, Jeter had already dated several celebrities. But he did not commit to a lifelong relationship until the Yankees captain met the Swimsuit supermodel Hannah Davis in 2012.

Although Hannah was a model by profession, way before her starting her modeling career, Hannah was a decent tennis player. She played professional tennis at the junior level. In fact, not many people might be aware, but modeling was not her first option for a career.

Would Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis still be together had she opted for tennis as a career option?

Per GQ.com, way before becoming a supermodel for a top-rated US magazine, Hannah was a professional tennis player. And she was quite good at her game. She started modeling only to pay for her training and tennis rackets.

The Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit model was quite good with the forehand, the backhand, and her serves. Later, after becoming a successful model, Hannah did a shoot with Sports Illustrated, where she played tennis. One can see her game and can imagine how good she was at the game.
