Hi everyone!

I had a second so I thought I would check in.

I’m back in the US! Currently I am in Los Angeles playing in the East West Bank Classic. The tournament is going well so far. I played Yung-Jan Chan and Samantha Stosur in the first couple rounds here and I’m still alive. I’m playing good tennis and I always enjoy LA so it’s a good combination. My agent, John Tobias, made the trip to watch yesterday so it was good having him in the stands as well.

I’m here for a couple more days and then it gets really crazy. The Olympics start August 11th and I can’t even describe my excitement about representing Belarus. Beijing should be a fun trip and hopefully I’ll bring home a medal!

That’s it for now, but I’ll check in soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

It’s been about a month now so I wanted to check in with everyone. I have been traveling a lot, but it’s okay because I get to visit some really fun places! As you may have noticed, we were playing in London the last couple weeks. It’s always special to play at Wimbledon because of its tradition. I won a couple rounds in the tournament, defeating Tsvetana Pironkova and Sorana Cristea. Unfortunately I lost to Nadia Petrova in the Round of 32 in a really tight match. Frustrating! But that’s how it goes sometimes.

In the doubles, I made it to the quarterfinals with Shahar Peer which was pretty exciting. Shahar is always fun to play with and everyone already knows how talented she is. We lost to the #1 seeds, but it was really close which means we must play well together!

I have a busy schedule coming up, starting with the Kennedy Funding Invitational this weekend. I’ve heard great things about the tournament and I’m excited to be a part of it since it benefits breast care. Always rewarding when we can help out!

I’m playing in Los Angeles starting July 21st and I’ll be playing Montreal the following week. I’m about to hit the road again so I’ll check back in when I’m near a computer. Thanks for following me, you all are the best!
