Hi everybody and welcome to my web site. I was born and grew up in Vladivostok, Russia and at the age of 14 had to move to Moscow to have a chance to try myself as tennis player. I started playing pro tournaments and picking up first points at 17. A few years ago I was lucky to meet my present coach Riccardo Piatti and since then I spent a lot of time practising with his team in Monte Carlo. At the moment I really enjoy playing tennis and being on tour. I had some good results in the last months like quarterfinal in Delray Beach, Bejing and Indianapolis and I look forward to finish 2008 in the top 100. When I get some free time I like to go out with friends, to watch football matches or other team sports like ice hockey and basketball. Another very important thing for me is the food, Italian and Japanese are my favourites. When I have time back home I like to cook for myself. So just wish me good luck on court and I'll see you soon on topseed.net
