Thea Frodin, the teenager who played Serena Williams in a film, hopes the US Open will give her a chance to meet the tennis star she portrayed.
Frodin is preparing for her first Grand Slam main-draw match against Elena Rybakina, who is dealing with an injury. She described the match as an opportunity to enjoy the moment, have fun and discover what she can do on the New York stage.
This is a great opportunity to enjoy the moment, have fun and see what I am capable of.
Frodin has never met either of the Williams sisters in person. She hopes that will change during the tournament, saying she would welcome the chance to train with them or even simply meet them. She called that possibility a dream come true.
The winner of the Frodin-Rybakina match will face either Czech player Darja Vidmanova or Spain’s Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro in the second round.
Hopefully I will have the opportunity to train with them, or even just meet them. Whatever it is, I will take it, and it would be a dream come true.
