"The [tennis] courts were, like, three minutes from my house. I was doing ballet but they kicked me out because I wasn't that good. Then they kicked me out from karate as well, because I was laughing all the time. And then I said I had no choice. I had to play tennis because they were kicking me out of everything. I started playing with my grandfather because he was a coach, and it started from there." (tenniscourtsmap.com, 31 Jan 2016)

FOLLOWING IN HER MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS
Her mother Angelika Kanellopoulou is a former professional tennis player who competed on the Women's Tennis Association [WTA] Tour. "When you are like five, six, seven, eight you can't understand it. I realised my mum was a tennis player when I played in my first tournament because everyone was saying, 'It's the daughter of Angelika' and then everyone started talking about me, that I'm her daughter. So then I started realising who my mum is because for Greece, it was a pretty big. She made the third round of Roland Garros, 43rd in the world. We didn't have anyone until that time. She totally understands every single situation. She's never asked me, 'Why did you lose?' Many parents say that to their kids. When I win or lose, she's proud of me if I'm doing the right thing. She's always next to me and always supports me. She always says, 'Enjoy, this is the thing you like to do, so enjoy'." (tenniscourtsmap.com, 31 Jan 2016)
