Both the tennis players have faced each other four times on the tennis court, with a tied head-to-head score of 2-2. Last year, in a conversation with Puntodebreak, she opened up about how it’s not easy to find someone with whom you constantly compete as a player.

She said, “It is very difficult. It doesn’t happen very often that you can find your soulmate on the circuit because we compete against each other. But we had this deal: on the court, we are opponents, we can shout whatever we want, but off the court, we are friends again.” Along with that, she also highlighted the fact that one of them lost against the other, and then they became friends again, leaving the game behind.
