Personal Coached by Matias Polonski ... Likes hard courts because she is an aggressive player and it is easier to finish the point early ... Spent part of her youth training in Egypt, where her parents were athletics coaches ... Father, Victor Petrov, was a top hammer thrower; mother, Nadejda Ilina, won the bronze medal at the MontrŽal Olympics in the 400 m relay; parents are still athletics coaches ... Likes to visit Croatia because it is beautiful and peaceful ... Enjoys fishing, and reading (favorite book is Gone With the Wind) ... Would like to try every sport there is.
