Tennis nails

When Serena Williams was injured for a while and couldn't play tennis, she taught herself how to do nails. In an interview today she said she likes rhinestones the most, but decided to go for metallic colors for her third round tennis game at the French Open. Now that she finished her game early (she won, easily) she said she looked forward to going back to her room to change her polish, even though it wasn't necessary just yet (the nails looked perfect). Then she smiled a shy smile. She was a completely different person all of a sudden.
I wondered which of her personalities, the fierce aggressive tennis player or the nail polish girl, was acted out and which one was real. Maybe it's possible to be both at once. I'd definitely like to think there is an aggressive tennis player hiding underneath all my blushing, nail polish and flowery summer dresses. She's just shy and doesn't like to come out much.
