They're ‘obviously.on the saime wavelength, Bot does spending so much, time together ever get a bit too much? According to Ula, they get on realy well, and hardly ever argue. Agnieszka is also very upbeat, and says that as they live together, they do everything together. They have been playing tennis together since they were in their teens, and there's only an age gap of one year between them. But whoever wins on the tennis court, they remain close. For those few months when they're not playing tennis, they ‘enjoy normal life back in Krakow. But they're big celebrities in Poland, and people really look up a them because of their success. So how do they deal with all the attention? Ul says they often get recognised in taxis and so on. Agnieszka says that very often, when someone recognises them, they just look, but don’s say anything.
