I never thought that, especially me, like I'm so normal."He continued:"I never thought that I'd be friends with the greatest of all time. He'll message me like, 'Hey how are you going?' I'm like, 'You have nothing else to do?' It's crazy for me. It's not even a tennis thing. When we practice, his kids come out. I hit with his kids. That's important, it's hard to find tennis players who actually care about the other stuff."
