Make-up & Hair: “I wear zero makeup on the court. I can’t risk it running into my eyes. I tie a ponytail, pin the flyaways, and use L’Oréal Elnett hair spray. If I have time, I get a neutral manicure.” Makeup look: “When I’m not playing tennis, I like a fresh-faced glow. At night I’ll wear a fun pink lip, Avon brow pencil, and Kanebo’s Sensai concealer and mascara.” Mane must: Oribe shampoo. “I wash my hair daily, since I’m training and sweating.” Strand stars: Adir Abergel for cuts and Tracey Cunningham for highlights.

Skin & Body: “I get the occasional dark spot from spending hours in the sun, and I have microdermabrasion treatments to lighten them.” Skin savers: Lancer The Method cleanser, Supergoop! SPFs, and aesthetician Dayle Breault’s serum. “They stand up to the heat on the court.” Body buys: Le Labo body wash, Homeoplasmine cream “to soothe scrapes,” and Avon perfume.

Diet: “I’m very attuned to the type of fuel I put in my body, but I also allow myself a little indulgence.”Breakfast: Rye toast, goat cheese, a piece of ham, and fruit. Lunch: “Russians are big on soup. I like tomato with vegetables, and a chicken breast.” Healthy snack: Green juice. Dinner: Fish, rice, vegetables. Splurge: “My Sugarpova candies. I’ve always had a sweet tooth.” Booze: Sangria, “on vacation.”

I add Epsom salts and lavender essential oil.” Workout wardrobe: A Head racquet, Nike tights, and a sports bra.​​
