Croatian tennis player, Borna Coric had quite an awkward relationship with Serena Williams in the past.

The likes of Borna Coric, Serena Williams, and Billie Jean King sat down for a dinner time chat. Serena Williams revealed that she always saw Borna Coric on tour, however, he never quite initiated a conversation. The American stated that she even joked with Croatian on the same issue.

“I always saw Borna on tour. I think, in 2015, I was in Australia and he was always in the gym. I always joked with him that he didn’t know I existed. So he finally realized that I exist,” said Serena.
