— Anna Vladimirovna played a key role in my career. Without her, I wouldn’t do this job. All the major stages of my career took place with her approval, she always supported me. He was an incredibly intelligent and highly educated person and conversationalist.
As I was not working in tennis, I was deprived of the pleasure of working with her competitively. The exception is the London Olympics. We talked a lot in London in 2012, and then I was really imbued with the depth of his knowledge not only about sport, but also about literature and art. Anna Vladimirovna was a true aristocrat in the good sense of the word.
Dmitrieva was an extraordinary commentator. Their association with Metreveli is a classic of sports reporting. For me, they have always been at the top. They knew the sport and the people they were talking about brilliantly.
For Anna Vladimirovna it was very important that people not only worked in the editorial office, but also maintained good relationships. She was very concerned that everyone had a good personal life. For her, family is a very important moment. She was always happy when girls, especially, found a companion.
She has a huge contribution to the development of sports journalism in the 21st century. She raised a number of talented people who found themselves in the world of sports and achieved success,” Cherdantsev told .
