The thing to note here is that even Rogers had a background in hockey before she switched to tennis. Let’s take a look at that.

Despite same background as husband, Rogers chose her sister and tennis

Not a lot of people know this but Shelby Rogers also has a background in hockey. She played the sport mostly during her school days. Later on, however, she decided to pursue the racket sport. It is so because her sister Sabra Rogers was into tennis and that inspired her to switch from hockey to tennis.

Even though at the moment, the two lovebirds are into different sports, they certainly have a common hailing background in the past. We are sure they will continue to make strides in their respective sports. Especially for Rogers, as fans are really excited to see her perform after so long on the court.
