She told The Up & In Show podcast: “So I feel like in this past year I have really embraced who I am as a person in this industry.
“I feel like years ago I was a little more afraid to be myself in an industry that has been super traditional and buttoned-up.
“I am myself I have done so much in this industry and I am going to be who I am and I want to keep bringing people to this sport in a positive way.
“Earlier this year I had a social media manager that helped me build my brand, so I really focused on creating content.

The former golf pro was named Maxim’s “sexiest woman alive”, Rachel told the magazine: “Tennis and golf are very similar sports.
“I respect what Paige has done for the sport of golf so much!
“We have similar stories, and I aspire to continue to push the sport of tennis forward while being unapologetically me.”
