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

Whether you win a match or lose a match, in terms of your emotions, it's important to be pretty levelheaded.

I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room.

I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they're versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.

As an individual, I take every match seriously, no matter who I'm going to play.

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

I definitely feel Russian inside, even when I'm in America I feel Russian.

I don't do heavy weights at all.

I don't get to do as much sightseeing as I would like to.

I don't worry about what my opponent is doing.

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

I go to yoga classes and work on my core.

I have a Russian heart.

I have had lots of luck in my career but there has also been a lot of hard work.

I help design my own tennis clothes.

I learned there's a big difference between juniors and the pros.

I look forward to the challenges.

I love to collect modern art.

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

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