In a recent interview with Paper magazine, the former world number one tennis player discussed what she was like at school. The American tennis player claimed that back in her school days, she was quite the nerd.

She said, “If I hadn’t been an athlete, I would have landed in the arts somehow. It’s hard to say what would have happened, but that’s how it feels in my heart. I went to lots of art schools. I went to fashion school. I went to interior design school. I was always in school.”
