“He was so good. I was so upset” - When Jon Rahm’s wife Kelley joked about how a fierce tennis match caused a fight between them

Jon Rahm is not just a great golfer but also a pretty talented tennis player. His wife Kelley once joked about a fierce tennis match incident that caused her to get "mad" at him.

Back in January 2018, when they were about to get engaged, Kelley Cahill spoke to The Sun and shared that the couple agreed to a tennis match to test whether the Spaniard was the only great athlete in their relationship. However, things did not go as she expected for Kelley.

After the match she got so mad that she did not talk to Jon Rahm for a day or two. As quoted by the San Diego Union Tribune, she said:

"He's killing forehands... crosscourt zingers, and I'm thinking, 'This can't be right'. He was so good. I was so upset. I was actually mad for a day or two. We have not stepped foot on a tennis court since.

Jon Rahm, speaking on the same incident, praised Kelley as a tennis player but jokingly added that it was fun seeing her reaction. He said that she learned a lesson and that he loved playing sports. As quoted by the San Diego Union Tribune, he said:

"She’s obviously a much better player than I am, but it was funny to see. She learned a lesson. I'm not a pushover. I like playing sports. Anything related to my hands, I'm good at. She didn't expect it."
