a few Q&A's pertinent to Yakimova's tennis: What's your coaching situation now? AY: I've been working with Ralph Kok for six-and-a-half years. He's Dutch... we met when I was playing club matches in The Netherlands. At that time he was captain of our team, just for the two weeks of the competition. Mostly he is based in Spain, in Gran Canaria. We started working together and I went there to practice with him. That's where I normally train and he's here with me in New York this week. What's been your best moment in tennis so far? AY: Lots of little things. Winning my first Grand Slam match, and then I reached the third round in Australia a few years ago. Also I've played a couple of nice matches on center court at Roland Garros, against Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters - these are the sort of matches you work for and look forward to. And of course winning tournaments… I haven't won a WTA tournament yet, but I've won some big ITF tournaments. I cannot really put one thing ahead of anything else, because I've had quite a few experiences I've really enjoyed. How do you describe your game? What are your strengths? AY: I'm a baseliner and I move well. I don't have a very powerful game because I'm not so big and maybe don't have the best reach, but I try to combine high balls and slices and drop shots. Of course sometimes, when I can, I try to really hit the ball. But mostly I'm trying to create a point and make openings for my opponent to make a mistake. I don't hit so many winners, but I can make my opponent impatient. Do you have a favorite surface? AY: Before I would have said I like to play more on clay. But lately the hardcourts have become more slow, so now I like hardcourts as well. And the last couple of years I also played quite well on grass, which I didn't expect so much but it went well, so I'm OK with the grass! Do you do any non-tennis training? AY: No, not really. But of course I enjoy other activities - I like figure skating. Nothing serious, just for fun. Unfortunately I cannot do it too much because it can be dangerous for injuries. http://bit.ly/paUKeU | |||||||||||||||||||||
