- You are learning Spanish!

- What surprises you? You probably believe the myth of your colleagues that athletes have all their brains in their muscles! It is not true. You are always interested in us at the most inopportune moment. At the moment of triumph, we have no time to give interviews and take part in programs. We live in a different environment, we have a completely different rhythm of life. Tagging an athlete is easier than helping them relax and open up in front of the camera. But believe me, now there is no such athlete who does not know English. Yes, we have a shortage of time, and we did not always have enough time to study, but few people know how many books an athlete has read in his life! We need to while away the evenings at the training camp somehow. By the way, I have two higher educations. I learned English and Spanish to feel free in another country.

- Convincing! I will no longer go to the athletes immediately after the finish. Is there something you haven't done?

- In sports, everything was enough for me and everything that I could achieve there, I achieved. I would like to make my own TV program about interesting people. This will be my personal project. I want to be responsible for what I say and what happens.

- Nowadays musical projects are in vogue …

- We have enough show. If I were offered to create a musical group, I would invite children, but not with"

- By the way, about children. Your daughter Nastya is growing up …

- I love her madly! When she was born, I was nervous: every second something could happen to the child, but I won’t know how to behave. She was constantly on edge. The baby squeaked, and I was already going crazy. Now she's grown up. Of his 10 years, he has been playing tennis for 4, 5 years. And not at all because tennis is a sport with big prize money. It's just that there is a children's tennis academy near my mother's house. Nastya is the daughter of athletic parents and remembers well how we trained. The baby was giving me a massage. We even have such photos. Now we give her a massage and cook, as expected, spaghetti after workouts. But, unfortunately, we rarely see each other. Only in the morning and in the evening. Well, even on the way from home to court.

- Are you a mom-trainer?

- I am strict, but we have a trusting relationship, and I would like to keep them forever. Most often in the car we carry on conversations under the heading "secret". I will listen to everything, and then draw conclusions. But the time is approaching when mom is increasingly fading into the background. If free time is given, Nastya communicates with friends, discusses her girlish problems with them.

- Do you collect anything?

- Car numbers of all countries. I only collect old numbers. I like to come up with their life story. It all started in Argentina on the set of the Fear Factor program. From there I brought the first two.

- Continue the phrase: "When I get old …"

-… I'll be beautiful!
