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

Of course, everyone knows my story of being born in Russia and moving to the United States at 7. For a few years people would say, 'Well, she's living in the United States, but she's Russian.'

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

I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.

I want my tennis to speak for everything.

That's why we have journalists, for stats.

Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.
