Seventeen-year-old American Thea Frodin may have played the role of Serena Williams’ body double in a movie, but at the U.S. Open, she showed that she has plenty of power of her own.Frodin, from California, made her Grand Slam and WTA Tour debut on Tuesday against world No. 2 Elena Rybakina. She lost 6-3, 6-2, but made an impression by hitting 11 aces — almost twice as many as Rybakina.“I feel I have always been an aggressive player. That’s always been kind of my game, just to be aggressive,” the 6-foot Frodin said. “Obviously my height gives me the chance to serve bigger.”From ‘King Richard’ to the U.S. OpenFrodin was the body double for Demi Singleton, who played a young Serena Williams in the 2021 movie King Richard.
