UNC hotshot Anna Frey goes on 'best date' with high school basketball star for memorable prom experience

UNC tennis sensation Anna Frey recently had a memorable prom experience as she went out on a 'best date' high school basketball hotshot. The basketball player is a student of the Layton High School, who is a popular 6'3" combo guard.

Frey, currently ranked 897th in singles and 974th in doubles of the WTA rankings, has been one of the most documented upcoming talents in American tennis. She has competed at various ITF events this year, as she looks to gain experience before she becomes a regular at the WTA Tour.

However, the 17-year-old, who plays D1 tennis at the University of North Carolina's, is also enjoying her college life before she faces the perils of a professional tennis player. The American prodigy recently shared some adorable images, alongside her date Sam Romer, the aforementioned basketball talent, from their college prom.

"Prom😙☺️."

Romer commented under the post:

"Best Date ❤."

To which Frey responded:

"The best."
