What are your short and long-term goals?
SK: In the short term, just to stay healthy because this will mean that I can stay in the sport much, much longer. After this, the big goal is really to crack the Top 100, once I pass this horrible mental block, I'm going to feel so much better!
What is your favorite WTA tournament?
SK: I'm a very, very sunny person. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I need sun to have energy. For me, bad weather is devastation. I really love tournaments where there is good weather, so if I had to choose between the Slams, Paris or Australia would be my favorites.
And surface?
SK: Oh, I'm so confused! If you had asked me five years ago I would probably have said clay for sure. Honestly, I think I'm equally good everywhere. I'm not trying to sound cocky but I think my level is the same on all surfaces. But if I had to choose just one, I would say clay because I can slide well and it's what I grew up on.
How far did you go in your education?
SK: I finished high school and I have just started at university in Sofia doing sports management. It's a complete mess and I have no idea what's going on. I study on my own and then just need to go there for the exam sessions but it's pretty hard because the subjects are really tough and I have to do it all on my own. I feel like I could have a future in sports management after tennis. I had a pretty bad experience with agents and if one of my sisters ever goes pro I would like to help her out and keep it in the family.
How do you relax away from the court?
SK: Everything that you're not supposed to do! Like, I love driving motorcycles and cars. I don't have a bike of my own, because I think if I get one of those my parents are going to bury me in the back yard! But I have a car - a Mercedes ML500 - and I'm saving for an upgrade right now. My dream is an Aston Martin, although I might need to win a few tournaments to get that! Also I like skiing, rollerblading, horseback riding and reading. I spend a lot of money on books, everything from classics to romance and biographies. The last thing was Anna Karenina by Tolstoy but that got me depressed for like two weeks and I said I'm never going to read him again.
If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be?
SK: Emotional. Although other people like to call me crazy and I don't know whether to take this as a complement or insult! I get fired up pretty quickly and can then calm down pretty quickly.
If you could meet anyone in the world who would you like it to be?
SK: Can I go back in time? I would say Elizabeth I or Cleopatra. I'm a big fan of the Tudors. I think Henry VIII being with Anne Boleyn was the best thing that ever happened to him so I don't understand why he beheaded her.
If you weren't a tennis player what would you be doing now?
SK: You know, I think it would have definitely been in sport because I can't really imagine myself being in school to become a lawyer or doctor. If not that, then perhaps something artistic.

一家都是体育世家，注定卡拉娃也投身体育当中。
出生于保加利亚，但却代表哈萨克斯坦参加赛事。2003年开始的职业生涯，如果没有一些变故，她的路途会简单很多。她现在依然只有22岁，曾经是排名高达35的天才少女，而现在她需要花些时间去回归这个高度。
下面是采访内容：
Q：是如何进入网球圈的？
A：五岁半开始接触网球，原因是继承父亲的愿望，爸爸小时候很想当个网球选手，但是爷爷因为爸爸的学业而不允许。最开始不喜欢网球。觉得是世上最无聊的运动，还不如在家玩芭比娃娃。但自己却打得不错！之后8-9岁时能够在巡回赛赢球的时候，就开始享受它了。
Q：能否说说你的家庭？
A：我爸爸不能成为自己想当的网球选手，但是他却是一个非常不错的皮划艇选手。他赢得了全国冠军，并且1980年代表国家参加了奥运会。他叫Rado。我妈妈叫Neli，她是个排球运动员，也在国家队。但是她现在在庄园工作。我的叔叔也是皮划艇选手，还有三个姐妹，都在打网球，所以我的家族是个体育世家，
Q：你能评价一下你的比赛吗？
A：我不能说我打的很好。但是上帝绝对给了我一双好腿！我爸爸喜欢称我为底线上的中国城墙（长城？），因为我总可以把球回过去。我很会跑，反手很不错，正手比较稳定。总而言之，一切都不赖，但我希望自己打的更具进攻力一些。因为现在的职业网坛的选手进攻力都很强，我要成为顶尖，就必须提高进攻。
Q：目前为止职业生涯最好的映像是什么？
A：我想说最好的时光就是我开始自信起来的时候。并不是一个具体的巡回赛可以简单说明的，因为我在很多地方都有很多好的回忆。首先，在青少年冠军，然后在itf夺得冠军。但是这些不仅仅是一个瞬间，而是不断的充实我的信心，然手不可以用我自己的钱去做自己想做的，买那些东欧的任何东西，那种感觉很棒。
Q：谁是你的偶像？
A：应该是桑巴蒂尼，我很喜欢她的打球方式和她的品行，我觉得他也是最美的网球选手，所以她排在首位。当然还有格拉芙和辛吉斯。天啊！我爱辛吉斯，甚至在1999年法网决赛时，我为她流泪了。开始我爱着她们两个，但后来我彻底成了辛吉斯的粉丝。她输球我就难过。
Q：短期和长期目标是什么？
A：短期目标就是希望保持健康，能让我打得久一点。比较大的目标就是希望自己赶紧排进前100，我打破了这个心理障碍，我能发挥得更好。
Q：哪个巡回赛你最喜欢？
A：我是个开朗的人。我知道我说出来会有些疯狂，但是只要有阳光的地方，我就充满能量。所以只要是坏天气，对我来说就是不好的事情。如果要在大满贯里选择，法网和澳网是我的最爱。

Q：那喜欢的场地呢？
A：这个问题比较纠结，如果是五年前的我，我肯定会选红土，但是现在我每个场地的实力都比较平均，硬要我选，我还是会选红土，因为我擅长滑步，还有我是在红土上成长的。
Q：你读书读了多久呢？
A：我读完高中就在索菲亚的一所大学读体育管理，那门课真的很难。我只有去自学课程，但是课程很难，学期末在赶去考试，我想结束网球生涯后就往这方面发展。我对代理人经纪人这方面太差了，如果我的姐妹转入职业，我会去帮帮她。
Q：你有什么爱好呢？
A：我的爱好很多，有彪摩托车和汽车兜风。我没有摩托车，有的话我爸妈会把我埋在院子里的。但我有一辆奔驰。我的目标是拥有一辆阿斯顿马丁，当然那要在巡回赛多赚些。我还有滑雪，马术，读书等等。我会花很多时间在读书上，无论是古典的还是爱情的还是自传。前些天读了一本书，让我很不舒服，我以后再也不会读了。
Q：用一个词形容自己是什么？
A：情绪化。或许很多人觉得我很疯狂。但我内在很情绪化，疯狂的很快，冷静下来也很快。
Q：你在世上想遇到什么人？
A：可以时光倒流吗？......一堆古人。
Q：如果不是网球运动员，想当什么？
A：你知道，肯定是和体育有关。我都无法想象自己当个律师还是医生。如果不是体育，或许从事艺术类的东西。
