- On his childhood has not spared, and is unlikely to be sorry in the future. And I was born in Kerch, near the Black Sea. Since childhood racket was my favorite toy, and then the main weapon on the court. All this thanks to parents. My mother's first level tennis. My father was a doctor in the past, but then so in love with tennis, which gave up medical practice and retrained on the tennis coach. I was six years old when my mother was invited to work in Obninsk, near Moscow.

- My star sign Taurus, and the people of this sign is stubbornness, efficacy, and the slowness. Someone one of the parents is unlikely to be able to break my stubbornness, but together they have the upper hand over me, and I am very grateful for this. Up to 12 more years I coached my father, and then come to grips with mom. With it, I was even easier because we both feminine!
- Lessons not propuskalaN general, how evolved your relationship with shkoloyN
- OK. I went along and allowed to engage in a convenient time for me. Of the items I like most about the Russian language and literature. Algebra let's difficult, and once even had a triple on the subject in a quarter. But the study and practice I was always in ohotku. Understood that without the knowledge of sports and live simply uninteresting.
- At the gym I suppose all obgonyalaN
- From fizry my time freed. In training I was so exhausting that the PE teacher I pity, because in my childhood I was very thin. And if they went and there and there, from me to remain "horns and hoofs".

He knows of Swiss tennis academy in America.

Lina, on your account dozens of tournaments. And his first victory pomnishN

- Modern tennis is continuous patrols. Not utomitelnoN
- And I love to travel. In which countries are not only able to visit! Like in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. But most of all I like in Russia. Happiest days are those when I am home.
- Tell me honestly, would like to Moscow zhitN
- In the capital, I like it, especially the city center with its architecture, but to live in a mega-city would not want to. I prefer small towns, such as Obninsk. Incidentally, the name he received in honor of the landowners Obninsk, who are giving their land for the construction of the railway.
- Who do you like in a pair to play more vsegoN
- From my same age Galey Fokina. Galya - this tournament fighter on the court, and we understand each other at once and even with poluvzglyada.

- If one of the guys overseas to invite you to a restaurant, poydeshN
- Probably, if a good man. But if I'm with someone I'll go for dinner - it does not mean anything. I think you know what I mean.
