Branching out from her on-again off-again romance with Singles Ace Jimmy Connors, Chris had invited the President's middle son to watch the match, played at a school outside Washington. After her easy win, the pair set off for dinner at Rocky Raccoon's, a Washington restaurant featuring country music, and afterward made plans to meet again.
