Understanding this quote
The speaker says that being a mother is her main responsibility, while tennis is a secondary activity—like a “side hustle.” The humor comes from describing a highly demanding and successful tennis career as something extra, even though she is clearly very good at it. The quote presents motherhood as central while treating tennis with playful understatement.
