thanks TBE

How old is Katia? Can you tell me about a bit? Thanks!

Katia's 14 . ...... 15 in January.

her brother Maxim plays NHL ...

her profile along with other young Russian stars http://www.*****************/Players/Countries/Russia/Russia.htm

thanks a bunch...

why isn't she ranked in juniors? She doesn't play enough?

In general, I like the idea of a wonder child, but isn't it too early for someone of her age to play Challengers? <IMG SRC="smilies/berzerk.gif" border="0">

Katia hasn't played at U18 level ..... only juniors she has played in are Eddie Herr Champs which she won last yr at U14 level.

and also Orange Bowl 2000 U14

best of luck to:
