Time to have a thread for the cute Vika! :D

She's a promising 16 yo Junior. She was born in 1995 (Aug 3), she's Russian, so, but was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She's right-handed with a double-handed backhand.
She started playing tennis at 8. She's currently ranked #23 in juniors (career high: #16) and #505 in seniors. Her best results on pro circuit for the moment are: winning 2 10K (Portschach and B Waltersdorf) + QF in 50K Saransk, where she defeated qualified, beat Buyukakcay in 2 sets most notably, and lost to (6)Veronika Kapshay 2-6 4-6.
She hasn't played any more tournament on pro circuit this year. She reached Eddie Herr's final last year, losing to Putintseva 3-6 6-7(4). She reached QF (partnering Soregi) in doubles. Then she lost in R1 at the Orange Bowl against Elizaveta Ianchuk 4-6 3-6. But she won the title in doubles, partnering Ganna Poznikhirenko.

According to her profile on the ITF website, her hobbies are football, computers, games, books & cinema, and her favourite players are Robin Soderling and Samantha Stosur.

Ha! You beat me to my Victoria Kan Can! cheering thread :p

Great new talent. Wonder why she hasn't played yet this year? Injured or studying? (I knew she only played half a year last year.)

:rolls: You wanted to create a thread for her too? :lol:

I don't know what she hasn't played since the beginning of the year. :confused: Maybe injured yeah, or just training + school.
But I looked on Facebook and she posted this in February :tears::

Congrats to Vika for winning her first title of the year. Came in doubles at the Jablonec Nad Nisou claycourt, with Katerina Siniakova.

Looks like Vika has completely regained her form, reaching her first semis since October, at the 10K Prokuplje.

As the #5 seed, she defeated Karin Morgosova, 36 75 60, in the quarters. Now faces #4 Ana Savic.

Vika is in her first final since October, after upsetting Ana in three tough sets, 64 67(2) 63. Will play fellow Russian, Maria Mokh, for the title. Vika leads that h2h, 1-0.
