Anna is a promising 13 year old from Moscow. She's born 2nd December 1998 and her favourite player is Victoria Azarenka.

She's currently #3 on Tennis Europe 14&U rankings. Her highlights this year include winning Category 1 14&U Velp, two Category 2 14&U events in Waiblingen and Ulm, two Category 3 14&U events in Siauliai and Magaluf and two Category 2 16&U events in Ashkelon. She also reached finals in Category 1 14&U Stockholm and 14&U Tennis Europe Junior Masters.

Last week Anna made her debut on the ITF Junior Circuit with a WC into G5 St Petersburg and won the event.

Her overall 2012 W/L ratio on ITF and Tennis Europe tours combined is 58-9. Incredible year!

2013 will be exciting for her! Maybe she'll play some pro events too.
