Talking about on-court life and off-court happiness, the 28- year-old Russian said: "We are athletes and we are here to do our jobs. We sometimes forget that tennis is quite a short period of our lives, and especially for women.

"I want to be great at one thing. I know it's sometimes impossible to be great at ten things. If I try to be great at ten other sports maybe I would be so-so.


"I have chosen a sport that I could evolve in and be great at. I have been very committed to my sport and trying to be the best I can be at it. When I have the time to enjoy my life and to be happy away from the court Nikola Jokic Womens Jersey ," she said.
