“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“When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.”

Family“My main goal is to stay healthy because when you're injured you realise how lucky you are to have your health.”
Health“When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.”
Travel“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“Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.”
Design“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 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“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“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“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“I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they're versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.”
Travel“Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.”
Women“Music is a part of my life all the time - on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.”
Music“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“When you look good, you feel good. Confidence with what you're wearing is very important. If you feel good, you will always perform your best without worrying about anything.”
Best“I help design my own tennis clothes.”
Design“I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.”
Learning“I'd like to have a family.”
Family“Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.”
Dad“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.”
