“My high-school diploma meant a lot to me”
During a recent press conference in Paris, Coco revealed:
“Was graduating tougher? Yes because I know how hard it was to do school and play tennis on the road. Other players, in general, get out of sight with life and we think tennis is the most important thing in the world. It is not.
So getting my high-school diploma meant a lot to me.”
