defended her record last week when reporters at the Federation Cup questioned
her ability to win a WTA tournament, saying "I have the best performance
of all the (Russian) girls here. Some players are able to win Grand Slam
tournaments when they are 16 but there are some who do it at 22 or 23 or
even 30 years of age. I'm only 18 and I have a whole career ahead. Besides,
I was not allowed to play regularly on the WTA Tour for several years.
Only since last year was I able to play on tour full time."
