What are your earliest Olympic memories?
Usain Bolt was pretty big, he’s still pretty big. I remember watching a lot of the sprints.
Which Olympic sports would you not be well suited as a competitor?
Rowing, running, marathon, 400s.
What is the United States best known for in the Olympics?
I think they are just known for winning the most gold medals. I think probably swimming, gymnastics, basketball.
What are you most looking forward to about the 2024 Paris Olympics?
I didn’t really get to experience the village last time when I played in Tokyo, so I’m excited to get the full Olympic experience and excited to win matches this time. Last time I lost first round so I want it to be a longer trip and hopefully play some of my best tennis.
