About Nikita

I have been doing sports all my life … since my father took me to the Tennis court when I was 5 years old. I cannot imagine my life without competitions. This is the thing that I love most ❤️💪.

I could not become a professional Tennis player. Then I switched to Volleyball … but I was too short 😂🙈 So, I played both sports quite well! Then I got to know Beach Tennis, and it gave me the chance to compete on an international level, which was my dream since I was a kid. I enjoy the process of practicing and improving, and maybe that’s why I could make some top results living in a cold country and having limited training possibilities.

I am happy to see that our sport is growing fast, and I am enjoying to be part of it. Viva Beach Tennis!!! 🤩
