Hi Everyone. I'm in Moscow right now trying to get treatment on my shoulder and at the same time just enjoying my off season and trying to rest :). I can't begin to tell you all enough that 2009 was by far , The Best Season of my career. With so many changes on the tour, we the players didn't know what to expect this season. So as I look back at 2009. It wouldn't have been the best season so far if it wasn't for my fans. You all inspired me to best that I can be, win or lose. You really stuck with me the whole time. I can not Thank You all enough for all the support and cheers you gave me. Reading your messages here was just a great inspiration for me :). This year wouldn't be possible also if it wasn't for my team. I would like to personally Thank my coach Andrey Chesnokov, my fitness coach Valery Dubrovsky. You both really took care of me on and off court. My father, who travelled with me the whole time, love you Papa. And of
course my mother, brother and great friends who was always there the most, in good times and bad. Anyway there has been a lot of first for me this year. Beginning in Auckland. After such a long flight I couldn't feel my legs anymore but that didn't stop me from reaching my first tour final. I fell in love with the city and the crowd was just really nice there. So I look forward to coming back there in the future. Beating Svetlana in Dubai, who's a nice person and great champion, was my first Top ten win. And during the clay season, as I mentioned in my other entry. Roland Garros was definitely the highlight of my clay season. Reaching my first Grandslam final in Paris was just worth remembering, I would like to Thank Vika, who has been a great doubles partner and good friend. I love Paris and Roland Garros is my favorite Grandslam. Then there's Wimbledon. Reaching 4th round was a good achievement for me aswell. Beating such good players like Wickmayer and Cibulkova, who has improved a lot this year too. So moving on to US OPEN series, New Haven was the tournament that I would never forget. Reaching my second tour final beating Stosur, Chakvetadze and Mauresmo along the way. The match against Mauresmo, which happens to be one of the best matches I played this year. I have such respect for her, she a great
champion and good competitor, and it was my first win against her. So beating her was special indeed. Well things didn't really went well for me during the last few months. Unfortunately I got injured several times. I would have like to finish good but like I've said that didn't really matter because I already had the best season of my career. I just have to try my best next year to go higher ;). So we just have to
wait and see. By the way tennis aside, I finished University this year, took my board exams too. Thinking already of taking masters and might take up sport psychology in the future. So it all depends :). I guess that's it. But before close out my entry just would like to say special thanks to Thomas, a good friend and a great webmaster for my website for keep all you fans updated. He really doing a great job. So keep sending me your interesting questions and would like to answer them in the future when I have free time. Thank you all again for visiting website and I look forward to sharing good news with you in the future. All the best.Take care:0)
