Art“A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn't have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible.”
Great“My family and I built my whole career from scratch.”
Family“It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.”
Food“I'd like to have a family.”
Family“I love where I'm from. I don't live there because of the circumstances, but all my family is there. It's what's inside, it's not what's outside that determines the culture and the feeling.”
Family“If you're able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that's worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.”
Smile“When I travel, I love speaking to women around the world about the things that inspire them, the fashions they like, what makes something good and what would make it even better.”
Travel“I love street style, seeing how girls wear pieces and how their pair accessories with their outfit. How they pair shoes with a bag and go to day to night and change things up.”
Change“Music is a part of my life all the time - on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.”
Music“When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.”
Travel“I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.”
Design“I help design my own tennis clothes.”
Design“Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.”
Dad“I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.”
Experience“I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.”
Women“To be honest, everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that, if I didn't have time off, I wouldn't be able to focus on.”
Amazing“Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.”
Family“I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room.”
Cool“No matter what you study, the thing that you know best is what you grew up with.”
