The "Tennis Champion" initiative is meant to help promote and grow the game of tennis at the grassroots level.

My tennis story:

🎾 I started playing tennis on a national junior tennis team in Minsk, Belarus at the age of 6.

🎾 I've been enjoying tennis for over 36 years and some of my most happy memories are from tennis. I made a lot of tennis friends and visited many tennis places.

🎾 My first tennis coach is 81 years old this year and he still coaches tennis!

Many thanks to my family, coaches, the USTA and the entire tennis community for being such a positive influence in my life.

Tennis is a lifelong sport and I'm looking forward to helping grow the game!
