Naomi was happy to see that Stefanos was wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt when he watched matches from his suite in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Naomi commented:

“I’m super proud of him. I’m very glad that his first response when everything started happening was to ask me questions. For me, I feel like I like to get knowledge; for him to do the same thing, to start branching out and asking questions on topics he’s not so sure of, is very mature and intelligent.”
