Teen
Vogue: 20 Questions with Anna Chakvetadze 26th May 2009 At 22, tennis player Anna Chakvetadze has
already placed in the top-five worldwide
players, played in the US Open, and won the
Kremlin Cup in her hometown, Moscow. This
girl is seriously talented! Now, she’s
sponsored by Fila (which means LOTS of super
cute tennis dresses) and she’s fighting her
way back to a spot at the top. We caught up
with Anna to chat about her goals, training
schedule and her signature long hair!
1) When did you know you wanted to be a
tennis player?
I knew I wanted to be a tennis player when I
was about 14-15 years old. I didn’t start
taking tennis seriously as a possible
profession until then, as I was playing
other sports and going to school full time.
Tennis was just an after school activity
until I was around 14 years old!
