For whatever reason, the sovsport.ru website is more difficult than most for online translators. But, since the Western press is so obviously committed to ignore young Russian players, and because she mentions Masha, I took some time on this one. Some lines are still kinda hincky. If I wasn't sure I could polish a line properly, I left it alone. You can get the sense of most of them:

НЕЗНАКОМАЯ ЗВЕЗДА UNKNOWN STAR
And yet we have a champion in New York. The victory won "on the check box", where not expected. Meet the winner of the U.S. Open in junior doubles Valeria Solovieva from Saratov.
They lost the first set of the final to an international pair of Bogdan / Lertcheevakarn (Romania / Thailand) It looked hopeless. Who would have thought that after the murderous 1:6 you could so quickly get over that but in the next set, there were only three unforced errors between the two. As a result - 6:3 and the third a shorter set, a junior who played in the manner of an adult tiebreak only to ten points. Creating a reserve of four match points, inexperienced Rossiyanka Valeria Solovieva and Ukrainian Marina Zanevskaya put the point in the game, only the third time.
They received the precious trophy and confounded all to thank the organizers and the audience in English. Only an hour after the battle on the court at the official press conference, it appears that the winner, breaking waves, perfectly expresses itself in foreign and native language.
"Oh, and I have been here once!" - Admires Lera, the lowest-ranked in the tournament room for an interview. "Wow, must necessarily take pictures here!" Funny that in 16 years of tennis are to communicate with the press, as the holiday. It is unlikely that they represent, that soon, with the first successes in the adult tour, contact with the media will turn into heavy labor.
What came over you in the second set?
"I take the moment in the life of Russia's main heroine of The USO." (You know who she means. [:)])
"So this is our Marina tradition such" laughs Lera. "We are in the quarterfinals and semifinals and lost in the first set. During this time we are able to get the measure of our rivals, and then it becomes a matter of technique."
What about teamwork with a partner? You have to like with a different one this year played.
"Sometimes. But only if Marina has not participated in a singles tournament, in which I played. However, when it was possible, we performed together. And now something after such a victory, and even more so continue! We have a tremendous understanding and on the court, and beyond."
A pair for you - it ...
"Not a less important event than the singles. Every time fully to spread everywhere."
Who is your idol in the women's tennis?
"I most like... In Milan I and Marina were compared with Sharapova and Zvonareva. One Italian woman even came to the match with a poster, where it was written in Russian Вера+Мария : Vera + Maria. We are not offended, because we love and the one and another."
Have you met? (with Maria)
"Да. - Yes. When I was 12 years old, we practiced together in Miami. She always treated me with an open mind, gave much valuable advice. And I will be glad if I could be like her not only externally, but also on results."
In Miami then, but now (where do you train)?
"The same, at the Academy of Andrei Kozlov. This is a young professional, my countryman from Saratov."
Miami training, despite the compatriotic relationship, I think, is worth a pretty penny. Who helps you?
"Ask my father. He leads all of my affairs. I also asked: he said play well and not worry about anything. I try."
Alexander, why from a family of gymnasts and master of swimming sports, a tennis player appeared? - Following the advice of Lera, appeal to her father.
"We understand that financial returns to our sports with my wife against the backdrop of tennis compared."
So you decided on a family board ... (speaking again to Lera)
"There was no Council" - Alexander cuts in the style of another tennis dad - Yuri Sharapov. "I decided - the wife agreed." Lol! [H]
Funds for the career development of her daughter from?
"(My parents) sold a few of their stores in Saratov. But now and we have sponsors to help. I hope that the present victory only develops cooperation."
With junior tennis when the bye?
"Already this year I would like to start playing adult tournaments. We will ask for a wildcard at the Kremlin Cup."
