"You can get very passionate when watching your boyfriend from the player's box," she told the Mail. "We just want them to be happy. You don't want to see them in pain. If they are not happy, neither are you. "But I have to be careful as I don't want to get too emotional and distract Novak. It's about what the guys want. We don't want them to see us emotional. When I'm at home watching him on the TV, I get even more passionate because I know the cameras aren't on me. "My job is to keep Novak calm and relaxed before his matches. We are emotional partners. The emotional support we give each other is very important. It's the same for me as well. He is very supportive and encouraging of the work that I do."
