When asked which tennis player would Stiller pick to be his coach, he said: "Well, for me, I mean it would be Rafa Nadal 'cause he's a lefty and I'm a lefty." He revealed that his second coach would be the Argentinean player Diego Schwartzman.
Taylor proved to be a big fan of Aryna Sabalenka, revealing that she was her dream coach and also her favorite player to take the US Open trophy. "I love her," she said. "I'm rooting for Coco [Gauff]," said Stiller. "And I love that Naomi [Osaka] is back!" added Taylor.
