When you look good, you feel good. Confidence with what you're wearing is very important. If you feel good, you will always perform your best without worrying about anything.

I look forward to the challenges.

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 don't worry about what my opponent is doing.

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

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

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