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.

I still love things that you don't even need to pay for. Going to the beach and being around five of your friends and having a good time means so much more than going out and spending hundreds of dollars.

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.

When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.

When I travel, I love speaking to women around the world about the things that inspire them, the fashions they like, what makes something good and what would make it even better.

I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.

Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.

I help design my own tennis clothes.

I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.

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

If you're able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that's worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.
