Alina was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. She has been playing tennis since she was 5 years old. She came to the USA in 2018 to play for Harding University in Arkansas. She studied to be an organizer of sports and entertainment events. After graduation, she realized that she wanted to teach others to play tennis, to share the knowledge gained over more than 15 years of playing. Previously, she coached at the Coveleigh Club and Chelsea Piers. She will be happy to teach tennis to both children and adults, and will simply help them spend a good time playing one of the most fun sports in the world.
