She added: “Golf and tennis are so similar in the sense that they are very traditional and buttoned-up sports.”

One of her goals has always been to shine a light on tennis after an array of influencers started representing golf.

She says: “I love the game. I don’t want to just be known as a model who is all about me. I love being attached to tennis – a sport that I love so much!”

Rachel shot to fame earlier this year after being named the world’s No1 tennis influencer, by sport blog Outkick.

She proudly displays the title on her Instagram which grew by thousands of followers, but adjusting to life in the limelight has come naturally for the beautiful brunette.

Speaking about her support online she says: “It’s been so fun to see so many people show the same enthusiasm for the sport that I do and support me.”

Playing tennis at a college level taught her many great qualities such as time management, having a good work ethic and resilience.

While she’s not playing professionally anymore, she says tennis will always hold a special place in her heart.

She says: “Tennis is important to me because it gives me a voice beyond my looks and gives me more depth as a person that I am proud of.

“I have always stayed true to my original goal from years ago, making the sport of tennis more mainstream and relatable.”
