02-Apr-2012 Longer Stay in the US

Hello my friends!!!

I'm writing from Charleston! It's my 1st time here and I'm very happy for the opportunity the tournament director & manager gave me. I got 2 WCs for the tournament for both singles and doubles!!! Lucky for me, it's quite special! I'm very happy about that! So special thank you to them!

So I have decided to stay here in the States for another good tournament before going home. It's 40th Anniversary of the tournament so it's really nice organization here and its different atmosphere from Miami, nice to get some calm time and get focused on the tournament. Would be good for me to get some good matches here. I'm looking forward to it!

As a WC team in Miami we did a good run with Lucie Safarova in doubles through to the quarter-finals! We had some fun and enjoyed a lot out there on court together so we decided to play together. Playing doubles here as well. It's fun to play doubles and get some good matches going to!

I guess most of you saw photos and my updates on Las Vegas camp where I spent some time before Indian Wells hitting with Steffi Graff (Andre Agassi was around too!). I totally appreciated their help! I totally loved spending time there with them! Unbelievable how the dreams come true... I was a little girl watching them on TV playing at Grand Slams. I couldn't imagine I would actually hit with 1 of them a coupel of years later! Also I started getting some help on and off court from the Adidas team. It's great working with them including Darren, Sven and Mats.

Happy to announce to my Russian fans that I'm coming to Moscow to participate in FedCup semifinal against Serbia! YAY!!! Looking forward to coming back home and playing for my team! :) Hope I'll see a lot of you out there cheering for us LOUDLY!!! :) I love it!;)
