Julia Goerges is unlikely to be switching careers to become a professional footballer anytime soon if the tennis star's attempts at keepy-uppy are anything to go by!
Goerges – the world number 13 - got into the World Cup spirit ahead of Germany's crucial Group F game against South Korea by having a bit of a kick-about for the WTA cameras.
