Maria Kirilenko-stepanova

Sportswoman, clever, beautiful, perhaps just not a member of the Komsomol. Maria Kirilenko is undoubtedly a recognized professional of Russian and world tennis, like her eminent colleagues Elena Vesnina, Maria Sharapova, Elena Dementieva. The girl's biography - as an illustration of prioritization on the court and at the end of her career.

Masha Kirilenko grew up in the Moscow region, where she was born in January 1987. Mom Olga stood up for the active life of the child, since the girl was plump. At first, Masha was enrolled in the ballet, when the ballet school closed - they took her to the dance.

And Maria liked it there, with a partner they won prizes, but the student could not boast of diligence. Dad Yuri, who himself played tennis well, took his daughter to the court, since the sports school was located next to the house. The coach noticed that the girl is promising and talented, that's where her hypermobility found application.

Seven-year-old Maria was sent to the specialized school "Dynamo". Mom left work to take her daughter to the capital, later, when the opportunity arose, her father helped. My father was always present nearby, accompanied on trips, became a member of the team.

When the talented girl turned 13, she was taken under her wing by the international master of sports, the famous Soviet tennis player and coach Elena Bryukhovets. Especially "under Maria" they came up with a set of training, thanks to which Kirilenko became a leader in her age group and second in the youth team.

Under the leadership of Bryukhovets, the girl won the American Open Junior Championship and won the first WTA tournament in her sports life.

Maria Kirilenko has always had a clear example and support from people who know the "cuisine" of tennis well - Evgeny Kafelnikov and Andrey Olkhovsky. The first serious successes of the young tennis player were victories in the Canadian Open and US Open. Masha was 15 years old, two wins in a row in competitions of this level allowed the athlete to rise to the second place in the ranking of juniors under 18

Maria's debut in adult competitions under the flag of the Women's Tennis Association was the 2002 tournament held on the island of Bali. Then - participation in the Japanese Open and the championship in Pattaya.

In early 2003, the Russian woman received the title at the American stage of the International Tennis Federation cycle. In the summer of the same year, Kirilenko participated for the first time in the adult Grand Slam competitions - the US Open, and lost only to the Frenchwoman Amelie Moresmo, at that time - the 6th racket of the world. A year later, Maria rightfully took a line in the top hundred of the world table of ranks.

In 2004, the athlete got into the "seed" of the Birmingham Classic, French Open, Wimbledon in England. In 2005, the open championships of the Australian continent and Qatar followed. Masha won the Indian Wells Masters and with Ana Isabel Gariguez made her way to the final match of Internazionali BNL d'Italia. At the Chinese Open Championship, Kirilenko defeated her namesake Maria Sharapova and received her first WTA title. At the end of the 2005 season, Maria moved up to 25th line in the ranking.

In the track record of a slender beauty with a height of 174 cm and a weight of 61 kg, there are victories at the Sunfeast Open tournament in India, Al Habtoor Tennis Challenge in Dubai in 2007. Then - a double triumph (personal and together with Flavia Pennetta) in the Estoril Open Championship for women and a similar one in Barcelona.

The athlete was close to personal triumph on clay in Cincinnati in 2008, but luck smiled only in the doubles draw. At the end of 2008, Kirilenko conquered the Seoul KDB Korea Open. Then, over the course of three years, Maria Kirilenko won the Kremlin Cup on the hard court along with Nadezhda Petrova, for the first time reached the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam single-handed at the Australian Open 2010, and lost only to leader Serena Williams at the Premier 5 series tournament.

At the 2011 Australian Open, Maria reached the women's final paired with Victoria Azarenka and 1/2 mixed with her Serbian colleague Nenad Zimonich. On the French courts, the tennis player made her way to the doubles quarterfinals, in the same tournament in the USA she lost to the final winner Samantha Stosur.

In the period 2012-2014, the tennis player won the main prize of the Miami Masters mixed, reached a similar final at Roland Garros, and played for the first time in the quarterfinals on the Wimbledon court. Maria brought a bronze medal from the London Olympics, won jointly with Nadezhda Petrova. All with the same Petrova she was lucky at the end of the WTA tour.

During her career on the tennis courts, Maria was able to climb to 10th position in the singles world ranking and 5th in doubles, win 6 personal titles at WTA tournaments and 12 in pairs.

In her personal life, Maria is doing well - she is a happy wife, raising her son Mikhail. In September 2017, there was a replenishment - a girl was born. Husband Alexei Stepanov is a candidate of economic sciences, worked in the Moscow government, headed the committee for public services, and went into business in 2015.

Back in 2014, Maria took a break due to injuries, and after the wedding she announced that she did not plan to return to the court, as she wanted to devote time to her family. By the way, Kirilenko's wedding was a surprise for many, since Maria had been in a relationship with NHL star Alexander Ovechkin for 3 years.

The gap, apparently, turned out to be painful, since the hockey player was not present at the wedding and in his Instagram sharply stated that there was nothing to do there.

Maria opened a children's tennis school in the village of Zhukovka, based on the Pride Wellness Club. Children of celebrities, Sasha Plushenko and Bogdan Samedov, also attend classes with Kirilenko.
