今天小有空，簡述一下 =P
說到昨天差點送兩顆蛋，莎娃自己先提起不久前被戴姐送雙蛋的比賽，說她也知道
那是什麼感覺啦。
(小意外的一或訪問者不記得了嗎XD~)
講到昨天的對手先前曾經嗆聲的事情，莎娃表示那已經是很久以前了，對方也已經
成長了不少，再說場外發生什麼事情實在不重要。
說到戴姐曾說在巡迴賽中很難跟對手交朋友
莎娃提到自己跟另一個Maria (Kiri)因為以前就認識，感情卡好啦。
再說到一些場內外的事情，還是不得不再次說莎娃整個心態相當令人讚賞呀。
一直在long time....=P

M. Sharapova - Day 4
Thursday, June 23, 2005
Q. Would it be safe to say you were up for that one?
M: Yeah, I definitely was. I knew it wasn't going to be an easy match.
Mentally from the first point on, even though I was down 15-40 in the first
game, I was still mentally really tough. I just played great tennis today.
Q. You didn't let up at all, did you?
M: No, I didn't. You know, I focused really well. Returning and serving was
a big key today. It's always a big key on grass, but I think I did that
really well.
Q. In the second set, did you allow her to win that game or did you want to
win it 6-0?
M: I know how it feels to lose 0-0, and it's not a good feeling, so I just
let it go (laughter).
Q. What statement do you think you made with your racquet after the verbal
statement she made about facing you?
M: You know, that was a long time ago. She's grown up a lot since then. So
it's not really worth talking about. It's just a matter of -- you know,
it doesn't matter what happens off the court. It's just going out there
and, you know, playing tennis, you know, playing a match.
So I don't really worry about what happens, who talks what. Everybody talks
and everybody makes comments. But it's normal. You just have to go out on
the court and just have to play. You know, the tennis does the talking all
the time.
Q. How difficult did you think this match would be today?
M: Well, I knew she got to the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam. Obviously,
grass is totally different. I don't think she's had as much experience on
it as she would have liked. But it's normal for someone that's 15 years
old.
You know, I think she still has a lot to develop in her game.
Q. Did you allow yourself to feel sorry for her?
M: No. It's hard to feel sorry for your opponents. Unfortunately, this is an
individual sport.
Q. Have you had words since those comments were initially made?
M: No.
Q. Did you speak in the locker room afterwards today?
M: No. We're in different locker rooms, because I'm in the members' locker
room. Sorry. I'm not trying to brag, that's just a fact.
Q. Are you playing as you want to win the championship or you're just taking
it a game at a time? Are you under any pressure to win it because you won
it before?
M: Well, basically I'm taking one match at a time, but I'm giving --I'm
concentrating on every match. I think I played a lot better since I did
in the first round. Obviously, first round you're going to have a little
bit of nerves, you don't know what to expect. But, you know, I got a lot
better.
Today was a much better game. Hopefully I'll keep improving because the
tennis is going to get tougher. You know, you're going to have to play
better in order to win.
Q. Is there any one of the girls out there that worries you?
M: No. There are a lot of tough opponents.
Q. You said you know how it feels getting shut out. When did that happen to
you?
M: Yeah, double bagel. You don't remember that?
Q. How did it feel?
M: Well, that was a long -- long time, not a long time ago. Actually, it
wasn't as much disappointing as losing probably when you have like match
points because you're just, I mean, like it can't get any worse, you know.
And you just forget about it. And after that I came out and I got to the
finals of Nasdaq. It was whatever. It happened. It happens. This is life,
you know.
Obviously it's not great to lose 0-0, but you play against the No. 1 in
the world. Yes, you're a top player, but it just wasn't your day. Life
goes on.
Q. On Saturday you're playing Katarina Srebotnik. I want to ask you what are
your thoughts about this match and what you know about her?
M: I've played her once a long time ago. I haven't seen her play much. But
with every single opponent I play, I just go out and I just play my game.
There's nothing specific that I'm going to go out and worry about something,
you know, about her game. Just have to go and you just have to perform and
just do the best you can. Serve well, return well. If you're on those two
things, I mean, you have a big advantage on grass if you're serving well
and you're returning well.
Q. So you're not scouting your opponents?
M: No, no.
Q. You're obviously the champion here and potentially have more distractions
this year than last year. Are you actually better this year at focusing
and keeping distractions out than you were a year ago? Have you worked at
that and do you find yourself better at it?
M: It's hard to work at it. It's not like you go to school to work on it
(laughter).
Q. You've had a lot more. Do you find it easy to focus?
M: Is it easier? You just -- it's hard to explain, because when you go on
the court, I mean, it really depends on the individual. If you're able to
block everything out that's around you and you're just able to focus on
the ball and your opponent, then you're in good hands. But if you're
thinking about what someone yelled in the crowd or the line call or the
media or the photographers, then you're in trouble.
I'm pretty good, especially at this tournament, going onto the court and
just paying attention to my opponent and the ball.
Q. Robert has always said that's one of your great strengths is your ability
to do that.
M: Right.
Q. Has it been chipped away at all with the success of last year or have you
found nothing has penetrated that?
M:Not yet. Not yet. Doesn't seem to be so. I've pretty much concentrated
and focused really well when I had to. I see there are days when you
concentrate better than others. But you never know really.
Q. Lindsay was saying it's hard for girls to be friends on the tour. Do you
have any friends within the Russian camp?
M: I'm friends with Maria Kirilenko just because we're the same age, we have
similar interests. I've known her since we played in the Juniors.
Q. It's difficult with the other girls, is it, apart from the Russians, to
be friends?
M: I think like Lindsay said, it's hard to be friends with someone that's
going -- that might be your opponent in the next round. Obviously, nothing
against any of my opponents. But, you know, it's difficult to go really,
really good friends off the court and then going on the court and trying
to beat them.
I mean, when you're off the court, it's friendly, but it's hard to become
best friends with them. That's normal.
Q. On a technical note, regarding grunting, one of the problems is that
someone who grunts, as you do, a number of others, is that it obscures the
sound of the ball off your racquet for the opponent. The sound of the ball
coming off the racquet conveys information to the opponent about how well
or otherwise you've hit the ball. Those who grunt pretty loudly, as you
do, therefore are putting the opponent at something of a disadvantage.
M: I feel like I'm in school now (smiling).
Q. What do you think about that factor, of it being a disadvantage to the
opponent?
M: I get bored because that was too much information (laughter). I don't
know. Like I've said before, I don't think about it. I don't know what
it creates, what it affects. I don't know.
Q. It used to happen between Navratilova and Seles. Seles grunted. There was
a famous match.
M: That was a long time ago.
Q. To what degree do you think the game might be helped if there were some
nasty rivalries between players? You mentioned that the players can't be
friends. But if it were even amped up a bit where there was some real
bitterness between players, what effect do you think it might have on the
popularity of the sport?
M: It's hard to say when there are not a lot of those around. I mean, there
are rivalries, but I don't think they're nasty or they're bad. I mean, I
don't -- I don't really --
Q. Do you think the game would be helped if there were some?
M: Will it help? I don't think it would make a difference. It might make it
more exciting for the spectators just because they know the two opponents
hate each other and they want to see what will happen on the court.
Other than that, I don't know.
