I don't listen to Taylor Swift either, but not knowing of her existence is maybe not so flattering...

professional tennis players live in a bubble of their own..i remember once Federer once said, in a similar circumstance, he didn't know who Freud was ...

It appears this was made up. Wasn't in his third-round press conference.
It would be inexplicable. He'd have to never talk to anyone his own age.

Sharapova butchered the pronunciation of "epitome" in her 20th anniversary story on ESPN toady. She did the player's walk to Centre Court with Fowler and was speaking eloquently and reverently about the experience, and when they finally reached the grass, she said is the was "EH-pih-toem" of something or other. So funny.
