Question

How do you pronounce her name?

I was watching the match when she was against Justine and the commentators were pronouncing her name. The guy said it was go-low-ven, the lady said it was go-low-von.

How do you pronounce her name really?

In French, it should be something like go-low-veen (end like in "green") ;)

Thank you so much! Now I know and I can finally put the argument to rest.

if you pronounce it go-low-veen shouldn't the name be spelled Golovine?

sometimes words don't sound as they are spelt :shrug:

i say golo-van. In that video of here in the yellow i think she says it golo-van.

well it's a Russian name for a French girl, and it's mostly pronounced in English :D
I even think that Tati changes the way she says her name depending on what language she speaks :)

Golovin is a Russian name. Therefore it should be pronounced "golovEEN" (as in Safin), not "golovAN" as though it were French.

At Birmingham 2004, the umpires said "golovAN". At Birmingham 2005 they said "golovEEN".

in theory yes, but since Tati is French, the French pronounciation would also be correct. :)

I thought she just lives in France, she's Russian right?

People who live in France are French ;); She is of Russian descent, but she's still French

she has a french passport, and only lived in russia until she was a few months old.

yep, her parents moved to France when she was seven months old, later she spent some years in the US but moved back to Paris a few years ago.
