After beating, arguably, the best female tennis player in the world, Naomi appeared there were a lot of emotions. Ellen asked what Serena had said to her as the crowd was booing during the trophy ceremony. Although Serena was disappointed with the loss, the tennis superstar showed compassion for her competitor. Naomi said Serena leaned in to tell her that the crowd was not booing her and that she was proud of her.

Although that topic is a little heavy, Ellen always knows how to keep the conversation light. She follows by asking Naomi some facts about herself; her favorite color, favorite show, and current celebrity crush. Naomi carefully tells Ellen that she liked Michael B. Jordan and was shocked and a little embarrassed when Ellen texted him.

Here’s what he had to say.
