\u201cI feel like I\u2019m like an open book right now,\u201d she said, responding to a question from Tennis365 at the Wuhan Open last month. \u201cSometimes they ask me, what is something that people will be surprised to know about you? And I\u2019m like, they know everything, like literally everything about me!<\/p>\n

\u201cI show everything. And, the main reason was that, you know, I look really aggressive on court, and I cannot look at myself, watch myself playing. I feel terrible about myself because I\u2019m super aggressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to show people who Aryna is and everything came from there, and that\u2019s why I started to share myself to just to make sure that I can stay connected with people.\u201d<\/p>\n
