We did it! Ok no, we didn’t win the @Wimbledon Invitational event, but we didn’t get (significantly) hurt and we had a ton of fun! So a win in our books! Another wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends and play on the same side as @SlavaSays again ❤️🍓🎾 #retiredlife

I had a wonderful experience representing the @WTA at the @SpecialOlympics World Games held in Berlin, Germany. The skill and grace of the athletes are inspirational and remind me how sport is the great unifier. Plus, there was a small WTA player reunion!

It’s our last day in Porto Alegre! @nicolaspereira and I were here as Sports Envoys, a @StateDept @SportsDiplomacy program using sport as a tool to promote cross-cultural understanding, engage underserved communities, & empower the next generation of athletes as leaders.

I was lucky enough to participate in the @specialolympics National Tennis Championships at the Pro Clinic, Opening Ceremony, Pro Exhibition, and my favorite — as a Unified partner! (1/2)

Really loving NYC lately! Besides attending the Gates Foundation Goalkeepers event, I supported friend and fellow @AAPITennis founder, Lopa Zielinski, being awarded as one of the 50 Outstanding Asian American’s in Business, and participated in a fireside chat for HSBC (1/2)
