I Help Design My Own Tennis Clothes.

I'm An Afternoon Tea Type Of Girl. I Come From A Russian Background Where We Love Our Teas. So Between Lunch And Dinner After Training I Come Home And I Love A Nice Cup Of Tea With Jam In It, As We Drink It There. Black English Breakfast With Raspberry Jam Is My Favorite.

I Heard Endless Conversations Between My Parents When I Was Going To Sleep About How We Would Survive, How We Would Continue. All Of Them Were About Trying To Make Me Better.

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.

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.

Ever Since I Was Young I Loved Making Things And Being Part Of The Design Process.
