“I've been very competitive by nature from a young age, whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else, or always wanting to be the first one in line.”
Age“I love to collect modern art.”
Art“I've been very competitive by nature from a young age, whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else, or always wanting to be the first one in line.”
Age“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 help design my own tennis clothes.”
Design“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 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“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“My main goal is to stay healthy because when you're injured you realise how lucky you are to have your health.”
Health“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 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“Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.”
Dad“No matter what you study, the thing that you know best is what you grew up with.”
Best“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“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“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“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“My family and I built my whole career from scratch.”
Family“I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.”
Women“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.”
