“In these bitter moments, of course, I would like to remember the childhood that we guys of the 60s had. Anna Vladimirovna was then at the dawn of her strength. We got involved in tennis because of his fame and talent. She was a philosopher at court, in life. She instilled in us the education that we already embodied on the ground. Our lives would not be as complete and prosperous without it. Thanks to her, we became what we became.
Young tennis players know her, appreciate her and love her. She was an example of intelligence and kindness. Everything about her was passed down to the generation that grew up on her shoulders. We always loved her, appreciated her, sometimes discussed her, but always admired her spirit and her strength. They admired what she did for those around her. We will always appreciate and love him. She will always be our guiding star. May she rest in peace. May his memory always be in our hearts,” reports the correspondent of , reporting Tarpishchev’s words.
