Lehmann, 24, is determined to keep growing the women’s game.

But she wouldn’t mind dabbling with tennis on the side.

The Swiss star picked up a racquet alongside national team-mate Geraldine Reuteler to give tennis a go.

She later posted snaps from her new experience to Instagram, captioning them: “Something different.”

Greek tennis player Petros Tsitsipas, younger brother of world No3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, cheekily commented: “Let’s play mixed?”

Petros is a career-high No136 in the world in doubles, largely courtesy of wildcards received at tournaments while playing alongside his illustrious brother.

Alisha replied “let’s go” followed by a laughing emoji.

The Villa star has 12million Instagram followers, dwarfing the 34,000 boasted by Petros.

But she wants to be known more for her football.

Lehmann recently told The Times: “A lot of people only see the social side [of my life, via Instagram] and not actually how I play football.

“About this, I’m sometimes disappointed, because I work hard every day. I train every day and I want to be the best player I can be. 

“They don’t really know how I play. I’m always saying, ‘Watch a game please’ — and then they’re surprised.”

On her following, she added to talkSPORT: “To be honest, I don’t really think about it.

“It’s not something where I wake up every day and think, oh my God, I have so many followers.

“It’s more that it’s really nice, the support and everything and it’s also a big opportunity.

“I would like to show the world that women can actually do it in football and you don’t need to just to be normal.

“You can also be a bit crazy, just be you, and use your personality to show the world who you are.”
