I do appreciate the part though where he mentions that her ambitions and outlook have gradually been draining down the toilet over the past year. not too long ago it was all about winning slams and being #1...now it's more like, eh tennis is hard, just glad to have a job right now. |
Not sure he is completely off here, don't think it is "off-court" in the sense of her being too much of a party animal but more in the sense that she is busier with photo shoots, endorsement deals, and different events.
When your only focus is on Tennis and preparing your game you are probably a little sharper then when you are trying to balance practice between repping some new Nike product, going to a modelling photo shoot for a magazine, and heading to an event for your Coke sponsorship.
The success and fame might have been a little too fast for her and now she is having a harder time balancing all of these aspects.
