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

When I need to push myself, I think of all those nicely polished trophies waiting to be lifted up by the winner - and how that winner might be me.

I love yoga. I do yoga when I have time, which is not very often.

It's always tough when you lose - you've worked so hard for that moment and it hasn't gone the way you wanted. But you have to realise there's always a bright side, you have to pick yourself up and get ready for the next game.

I go to yoga classes and work on my core.

There's not many firsts in my career, as I have been a part of many tournaments and fortunate enough to win many.

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.
