A strong personality is a great thing to have, especially on the tennis court, and Kristina Mladenovic has been expressing hers more than ever, even during changeovers. Laughing at the "Kiss Cam" and singing along to the arena entertainment are just a couple of ways that the French player stays relaxed.

After her win against Maria Sharapova in Stuttgart, the world No. 17 talked about her singing habits.

"When I know a song, I start singing, like automatically. If I don't know the lyrics and the song, I'm quiet. It's very entertaining...," she said. "I love to be different and maybe show that we can be relaxed, but always with a great attitude."

That demeanor seems to be working for her as she is currently No. 7 in the Road to Singapore rankings.
