The tradition continued as thousands of children gathered at the White House in 2015 for the annual Easter Egg Roll. Obama also invited some big guns to the event, including the former Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki. She also played a friendly game of tennis with then-President Obama.
These athletes, including Wozniacki, aimed at promoting a more active and healthy lifestyle among the American people.
The two, in fact, even played a match of mixed doubles tennis with young stars from the USTA. Wozniacki was certainly delighted to play with Obama. She later tweeted that she was ‘honored to be invited to the White House for the Easter Egg Roll’. Obama even tough not dressed properly for a tennis game, enjoyed playing the game.
Obama also spent some time interacting with the children after the short tennis match with Wozniacki.
