The person in question was tennis pro Venus Williams.

“I heard that she came and I was like, ‘No way, this is the coolest thing!’ So I’m very nervous ’cause I know Serena [Williams] has seen the movie but I’m very nervous about her seeing my tennis,” Zendaya told ET.

The actress apologized “in advance” in case Venus did see any flaws in her playing.

She also addressed the support that she’s gotten from family and other loved ones while promoting the movie. Several Euphoria costars attended the LA premiere, and boyfriend Tom Holland has also shown her love.

“It’s great. I mean, I feel so lucky. I have so much beautiful support around me,” she said. “Even tonight, I have so many family — they’re over there — family and friends here.”
