For a world No. 5, Kiki Bertens doesn't spend a whole lot of time in the spotlight, at least not in the U.S. She's plenty visible on the court; she won the tournaments in Madrid and St. Petersburg this year, and just last week she made the final in Palermo, Italy. But her public profile doesn't seem to keep up with her on-court success.

Part of that dissonance may be that she's a relatively private person, as she revealed in a recent two-part video for Guts & Gusto, an online clothing store. She also opened up about quite a bit else about herself, such as her guilty pleasures and favorite player.

Here are some takeaways from it:

1

She can't dance.

"I have absolutely no signature move because I simply can't dance," she says. "So an opening dance at our wedding is a no-go."

Bertens is engaged to Remko de Rijke, who's also part of her coaching team.

If she could have anyone's life for a day, it would be Roger Federer's.

"He's one of my favorite players," Bertens says.

She loves chocolate and puzzles.

"I'm not sure there are many people my age that enjoy doing puzzles," the 27-year-old says.

The hardest part of her job is the fame.

"Sometimes I find it difficult when people approach me in the street whilst I'm out in my free time with friends," she says. "In that moment, I just want to be Kiki with her friends, not Kiki the tennis player."

Kiki the tennis player fell in Sunday's Palermo final, 7-6 (3), 6-2, to No. 8 seed Jil Teichmann. As Bertens continues to rack up results throughout her career, everyone will certainly learn more about Kiki the person as well.
