In the last year I have gained a lot of experience because I have been playing against top players and realized what things to work on to get better. Top players basically tell you what your weaknesses are on the court.

I'm 17 years old and there are many great things ahead. If I don't win the U.S. Open this year, it's not going to be a disaster in my life.

I have a Russian heart.

The more matches I play, the more confident I get.

It's nice to be one of the most beautiful people.

I'm focused on going out every day and doing my best.

Sometimes I feel my arm is like a swan's neck - so weak.
