Spanish tennis ace says people find it difficult to accept a female athlete who is both glamorous and competitive
The Spanish-Venezuelan player added that people do have notions that if a player likes to be well-dressed off-court, she is not concentrating on her game. "If you are a feminine athlete people say: 'Oh, she wants to be a model or she's not concentrating.' No. We are concentrating. You can be angry and competitive and a fighter and you can also be nice and wear something by Stella McCartney. I feel good in that and it's important for your esteem because you've got to be resilient. I'm a tennis player, and that's my priority. I like fashion but I would never want to be a model."
