One thing not many people knew about her is that she knew very little about tennis before dating the American star.
Riddle said “I didn’t know a thing. Literally not a thing. I knew who Federer was. I didn’t even know who Nadal was. That’s not a joke.
“I literally didn’t know anything about it. But I know a lot now. I would consider myself a tennis expert at this point, I really would.”

For someone like her who a few years ago did not know anything about the sport, there was a learning curve.
