Voskoboeva: Kremlin Cup - a tournament for the soulOn her return from injury, successful performance in the second half of the season, working with Alina Jidkova and dream about the Olympics - in an exclusive interview with Galina Voskoboeva.October 13, 2011, Thursday. 11:11 But when I got on the court, inside was quiet. The fight was almost equal, we both played very well. I just do not have enough luck in some moments. I can not say that I played poorly. There were two tie-breaks, and I have had the opportunity to finish them in their favor. Alas, she was more fortunate. - At the contest in Toronto, you in turn defeated Marion Bartoli, Flavia Pennetta and Maria Sharapova! - Yeah, I was qualified and asked Alina: "Well, who's got me in the first round?" She answered - "Bartoli" ... ( laughs ). This is the most difficult option to start the circle that could be. I say, "Okay, now what do" ( laughs ). Came out, played very well. As for Pennetta, it is also a heavy player, she is consistently in the top 20 and is no worse than the French. Match was extremely difficult, three-set. But with Sharapova me to some degree most like to fight. I watched as she plays with Yovanovski, they had a smooth fight. - Why would beat Sharapova this? - ( laughs ). I do not know, I've played with it before. Then we also had a very close match. At Doha in 2008, I was unable to believe in myself, so I wanted to repeat the match. - How are you feeling right now after last year's health problems? - Now, of course, easier to play. At the moment, my thoughts are built around the tennis issues: how to build a workout at a tournament to go, etc. It's much nicer than when you have a sore hand and you do not know whether to play the match to end or be removed. We have to think, what to miss the tournament, with a start, and you've got there some other points are burning, somewhere must be protected, etc. The constant hassle from which, fortunately, at this moment is fenced. Now I'm a little better, because I can concentrate on the game. - At the moment you stand at the threshold of the top 50. The next year, which outlined the purpose - to get into the top 30, top 20 or top 10?You do in the first half of the year do not have to defend. - Honestly, this season I went to court and just enjoy their game against impact, on how I run on a good court with strong contender.
Once I had it all turns out well, but I still did not set out any problems and about what such a wonder, then next year I will not plan anything. At the moment I'm just happy about the process itself. Well, I'll go to Australia, as well ( laughs )! Big event, great players, so I will try to play nice.
What to take with these points? They jump up and down constantly. Of course, I want to climb in the ranking as high as possible. But this year I proved that if you play well, then after a while he comes, and it is not necessary to go in cycles. - The following season, the Olympics. You play for Kazakhstan, and, judging by your rating, you reach there. Already, there are some special feelings about it, or until the event is still very far away? - Olympics - a competition in which every athlete wants to participate. I also would like very much to the same is the tournament that takes place only once every four years. Of course, I want to go to London to play as best as possible and, perhaps, to compete for a medal. But while this is not so close. We are now in anticipation of something special, but so far it has not been specifically think (smiling). "That's the way the world works... right now." --Maria Sharapova at 17
