Why she might be annoying:

    Her father was a high-ranking official at an oil and gas company.
    She went through no fewer than eight coaches in five years.
    ‘I like green tea. Is that herbal?’ (Actually, nope. Herbal doesn’t have caffeine.)
    Asked about her ‘five favourite things’ by The Telegraph: ‘My Burberry coat with jewels on the shoulders.’
    She is a fan of The Voice.
    She was friends with Eugenie Bouchard.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her mother was a sports coach and pro basketball player.
    When she was a year and a half old, the family relocated to Singapore; they settled in London when she was six.
    She was the youngest competitor at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships; unseeded, she took down first seed Melanie Oudin en route to the win.
    She managed to get Serena Williams’ seal of approval as ‘an all-around good player.’
    Unlike ‘Genie,’ she gets most of her press for her sports performance rather than her outfits or off-court antics.
