Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee are a power couple known for supporting each other at games and matches. But there’s a big change in the ways in which they support each other. While Wozniacki cheers energetically at Lee’s basketball games, the vibe is different when it comes to tennis. Talking about the same, Lee, in an interview with Vogue, explained that tennis player’s boxes are like “a military operation,” where exuberance is limited.

I don’t even check my phone,” said Lee further while highlighting the strictness that the game brings.

This was one of the major reasons behind Lee maintaining complete silence in the game.
