Question

Why do all these Russian female tennis players live in Miami?

Answer 1

I live here because I go to the Nick Bolliterri Tennis Academy. Moscow is very cold all the time, and my parents moved here to give me more tennis opportunities than I would've gotten in Moscow. Besides Miami is a really nice place, it has the beaches, nice warm weather, great shopping, and at the academy I met all kinds of people from all over the world doing the same things I am trying to do. It's a really nice atmosphere.

Answer 2

because they want to move away from their poor country and become wannabe American chicks.

Answer 3

Many Russian female tennis players move and end up living in Miami because of the Bolleterri Tennis Academy.  Sharapova for example trained at the Academy.

Answer 4

the best training camps are in florida like bolleteri and evert academy

Answer 5

Miami has training camps such as evert academy and bolleterri.

Answer 6

Answer 7

The same reason why the Williams sisters live there...to train! They have the best training facilities there.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

cuz hot chicks like to live in miami.. good place to show to their bodies

Answer 11

There are really good training facilities down there, and, also, training in hotter weather, which miami has, is good, because you get more used to playing and withstanding heat, and it's not super super hot, so you won't get heatstroke or anything.

Answer 12

Besides Sharapova and Kournikova, who else are you talking about?  Most of the top Russian players call Moscow home, even though both Kuznetsova and Safina both lived and trained in Spain for part of their junior years.
