As An Individual, I Take Every Match

No Matter What You Study, The Thing That You Know Best Is What You Grew Up With.

Whenever I Have Friends Over, We End Up Eating And Talking And Losing Track Of Time, And, Once In A While, Singing Karaoke. It Reminds Me Of The Family Meals We Had In Russia, Which Always Lasted A Very Long Time. That's A Tradition I Miss.

Tennis Has Never Been The Most Important Thing In My Life. My Family, My Health, My Happiness...they Are More Important To Me. On Court, I Want To Win. Off Court, I Want To Be A Better Person. Tennis Is A Path To My Future.

When I Make Commitments I Like To Stick To Them, Especially When I'm Giving Back To Kids. Just Giving Them An Example Of What They Can Achieve. I Love Giving Back To Kids. It's Fantastic.

I Heard Endless Conversations Between My Parents When I Was Going To Sleep About How We Would Survive, How We Would Continue. All Of Them Were About Trying To Make Me Better.
