I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.

I like working out a lot, especially during winter training. I also like to work with weights, which we tennis players don't do very much. Instead I struggle a bit with aerobic work and running, but it's very important: endurance is very important.

Tennis is such a fantastic sport for everyone to be involved in and it is my passion.We have young players who are doing well and so they need to focus on the rich techniques and realise how important that is at this stage,said the mother of one.

My biggest influence has always been my commitment, training and working hard.

I want to be one of the best players in the world. That’s my goal, that’s what I want to achieve.

The most important thing in my life, its leitmotif, has been the constant and close contacts with working people, with workers and peasants.

Fitness is defined differently by everyone, but for me, the most important thing is being healthy. As tennis players, what we do is not the healthiest thing. We almost abuse our bodies.

The thing that's important for me is to remember what's the most important thing.

Consistency and work ethic has always been my core values when it comes to the game of basketball; Especially since the goal is to continue playing at the next level. Being a member of the AFA Sports team would motivate me to do that. I’m extremely excited to be a part of something amazing. I am looking forward to what’s in store.

I want to show that I deserve to be at the top. I want to be the best player that I can be, that I can be a valuable member of the team after being a mother.

We want to help tennis, we want to help players, and we all want to make more money. That’s obvious, but all of these things tie together. There’s absolute effort to understand compromise, but we have to start moving towards some place.

Actually, I am a very strong player. Mentally very tough. I just don't give up very easily. I make my opponent work very hard.

My work is, ... to bring before people's eyes the image of the thing my heart is filled with.

For me the most important thing was always that you have something in mind that you want to do, that you enjoy doing, because a lot of people have a job, but they're not happy. I think you have to think about what it is you really want to do in life and pursue that, and do it with fun; have a smile on your face, because then you're happy. You're happy and you can be open, you can be nice with people, and you have a different appearance and feeling of life than when you are in a job you hate. So for me that was always the most important thing.
