I try not to hit a swing volley and run back. So my swing volley is kind of that transition to the net. It's been one of my favorite shots ever since I was young.

I can't say I don't like acting, but I can't imagine a career when I have to spend 70 percent of my time in a trailer eating Snickers bars.

My parents had a normal life in Russia and they could have easily kept living a normal life, working and raising a child in Russia.

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

I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.

I always have a Sharpie, because usually when someone asks me for an autograph, they don't have a pen. I carry one in my purse, as well as in my tennis bag.

I love street style, seeing how girls wear pieces and how their pair accessories with their outfit. How they pair shoes with a bag and go to day to night and change things up.
