You can tell. She’s definitely very talented. She was picking the ball really clean.

Nelly said she could tell Caitlin was used to playing in front of big crowds and she was so relaxed. Caitlin only plays about once a week with all her obligations, so Nelly thought she played really well. Lost some balls to the right though ? pic.twitter.com/tKwtTBHwai
