Teen star misses Sydney
By Leo Schlink
23 dec 04
TENNIS starlet Maria Sharapova will be restricted to just one Australian
summer circuit appearance – the centenary Australian Open next month –
because of sport's age eligibility restrictions.
The world No.4 – already a Wimbledon champion and winner of the elite
Women's Tennis Association Championships – cannot yet play a full schedule
because she is still 17.
Restricted to a total of 22 events between her 17th and 18th birthdays –
which she will celebrate on April 19 – Sharapova has already appeared in 15
tournaments.
主要是上面這一段....
And, with an aim to usurping American Lindsay Davenport as world No.1, the
Russian is focusing on tournaments offering the most ranking points.
The programming squeeze has caused the unflappable right-hander to bypass the
rich Medibank Private International (January 9-15) at Homebush Bay, where
nine of the world's top 12 competitors will do battle.
When asked why Sharapova had not bothered to enter Sydney, her agent Max
Eisenbud said: "Just didn't fit into her schedule."
WTA spokesman John Dolan confirmed Sharapova would instead play an exhibition
in Hong Kong in the first week of January.
"I think she likes having a week off before a slam," he said.
Sharapova will use the week of the Sydney tournament to practise at Melbourne
Park, where she hopes to add the Australian Open to a relentless Russian
purge of the majors.
Until Anastasia Myskina won the French Open at Roland Garros in May, no
Russian woman had prevailed in the highest arenas.
Sharapova quickly followed, stunning defending champion Serena Williams in
straight sets at the All-England Club before Svetlana Kuznetskova downed
compatriot Elena Dementieva in the US Open at Flushing Meadow.
Given her heroics at the WTA season-ender in Los Angeles, Sharapova will
confident of creating more mayhem at Rod Laver Arena from January 17-30.
The statuesque baseliner won 55 of 70 matches, landing five singles titles
and more than $US2.5million prizemoney – a season-topping figure dwarfed by
her marketing harvest.
Already backed by Nike and Prince, Siberian-born Sharapova has now signed an
endorsement deal with watchmaker Tag Heuer.
Her Wimbledon victory completed the ultimate rags to riches tale.
She was wisked to Florida to train by her almost bankrupt father Yuri when
she was only nine, leading to a two-year separation from her mother Yelena
because of immigration and financial problems.
First spotted by Martina Navratilova during a Moscow exhibition, Sharapova
has rocketed to fame after honing her game at Nick Bollettieri's famed
Bradenton tennis ranch.
Her marketability has seen her sign with IMG models.
Sharapova was beaten in the third round of the last Australian Open by
Myskina in a tight three-setter.

恩...我剛看到她也要到泛太平洋之後的巴黎室內賽比賽了.
但是依照2004 WTA Rule,的確是如我說的,
e. (i) Between the date of a player’s seventeenth (17th) birthday and the day
before her eighteenth (18th) birthday a player may participate in a maximum of
thirteen (13) professional Tournaments plus the Championships (if she qualifies
), Fed Cup, and four (4) exhibition/non-Tour events.
(ii) These players are permitted to receive a maximum of six (6) Wild Cards int
o any WTA Tour or ITF Women’s Circuit Tournament, up to three (3) into Main Dr
aws and the remaining into Qualifying Draws.
而且這個參賽數也算維持一段時間了,除了top 50多加一項賽事的規則是去年才新加的.
但我想印地安泉和邁阿密這種大賽不參賽似乎有點怪(雖然還是有名將因為私人因素不打)
所以我想現在情況不是WTA明年改規則(文章作者寫對)
就是Sharapova在參賽策略又失策了(文章作者寫錯)
而這兩種都有可能,因為WTA把top 50多加一項賽事的規則(17歲),16歲是top100加兩項.
這個規定就是因為Sharapova而改的...
今年原本也傳出當時只有14歲的保加利亞新秀Karatantcheva原本14歲還不能參加大滿貫,
但原本傳出她有機會打法網為她改規則,但最後還是不行了...
至於參賽策略做不好,以Sharapova去年底打小比賽的策略也是蠻可能的...

Sharapova donates $10,000 to quake victims
Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, due to play an exhibition match in Thailand
against Venus Williams, will donate $10,000 to help victims of the killer
tsunamis that hit the kingdom, a minister said on Wednesday.
Deputy Prime Minister and tennis association head Suwat Liptapanlop said the
Russian starlet, scheduled to arrive in Bangkok late on Wednesday, had notified
him about her generosity.
"She informed us that she wanted to donate 10,000 dollars of her own money to
the government's victim relief fund," Suwat said.
The fund, launched yesterday, had already received donations amounting to 108
million baht ($2.77 mn), according to media reports.
Although a gala dinner to be held for Sharapova and Williams would be cancelled
out of respect for the unprecedented loss of life, the match scheduled for
January 2 in the northern city of Chiang Mai was due to go ahead.
