Dina Safina Calls Monaco Her Home

For Dina Safina, the former world No. 1 tennis player from Russia, Monaco isn’t just a place to live—it’s home. Like a bird finding its nest, Safina has settled in the tiny principality since she was 16. "I’ve been living there for a long time," she said. "It just happened that way. My brother was there first, and then I followed. Monaco has its perks, and the choice was obvious."

Monaco, with its sun-kissed shores and tax-friendly policies, has long been a magnet for the world’s elite. For Safina, it’s more than just the glamour—it’s a place where she’s built her life. Her career, glittering with achievements, includes three Grand Slam singles finals, a US Open doubles title, and an Olympic silver medal from 2008. Yet, it’s Monaco that holds her heart.

Beyond the Court

While Safina’s tennis career has been the stuff of legends, her life off the court is equally intriguing. Rumors swirl that she’s been approached to coach rising stars like Sabelenka and Andreeva, though she remains tight-lipped about her future plans. For now, Monaco remains her sanctuary, a place where the Mediterranean breeze whispers stories of her past triumphs and future possibilities.
