What have been your greatest successes so far?

My tennis dream is to win Grand Slam titles and continue playing for the Serbian national team. Representing Serbia makes me proud, and every time I play for my country, I am inspired by Novak Djokovic.

Outside of tennis, I love reading books. I also like playing with my brothers, my friends, my cat Rafa, and my dogs — Djoker, Monica and Arina — and spending time with my family.
