Players meet the President: the social round-up

Sloane Stephens (L) meets Barack Obama; @SloaneStephens

Tennis players were out in force at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll – and they enjoyed the chance to meet the one and only Barack Obama!

Sloane Stephens was thrilled …

As was former world No.4 James Blake …

And Shelby Rogers too!

Billie Jean King loved the whole spectacle, tipping her hat to Obama’s volleying prowess.

Meanwhile, at the Miami Open, players were taking a keen interest in the fortunes of their fellow pros.

Canadian Eugenie Bouchard took in the match between her compatriot Milos Raonic and American Jack Sock …

… after having earlier watched Grigor Dimitrov upset No.2 seed Andy Murray.

Nick Kyrgios thoroughly enjoyed the fourth-round cracker between Victoria Azarenka and Garbine Muguruza.

And Heather Watson was stoked for countryman Jamie Murray.

Yet not everyone was paying attention to the on-court action in Florida. Exhibit A.
