PROFILE
As a female her surname in Russian would normally be "Golovina," but as a French citizen she legally has the same surname as her father (of French descent). Russian sources are divided on whether to spell her name in Russian as "Golovin," or "Golovina" but "Golovin" seems to prevail. She writes her name as "Golovin" although the traditional French transliteration would be "Golovine." In French, the pronunciations of these two spellings differ.
Tatiana started off 2007 at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia. She won her first singles match, defeating American Ashley Harkleroad 6-3 4-6 6-2. She pulled out of the mixed doubles match with partner Jerome Haehnel, citing an ankle injury. She then defeated Australian Alicia Molik, but then lost to Russian Nadia Petrova 7-6 6-0.
