I'd love to open a tennis school for children in my hometown of Sochi.

When I walk through that gate to the court, that's my escape. I block out everything, good and bad.

Sugar free? With the name Sugarpova I don't think I will be doing anything sugar free very soon.

Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.

There are days when I go out on the court and I feel like I can't miss a ball.

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.

It's pretty hard being a tennis player and Mother Theresa at the same time and that's just the way it is.
