FOUNDATION
She has established a charitable foundation in Ukraine which aims to improve tennis facilities in the country. "That would mean building new courts all over Ukraine, which is important because some cities need them in schools. We are working really hard to find resources, it is not easy, but we are slowly trying to get a good team to reach our goal. I also have connections now with tennis academies across Europe so another goal is to see if we can get kids, who need help with practice or a training base, into places in France or England or Germany."
