extract from OS

Kuznetsova Through To Semis ;D ;D, Russian Women Battle Wednesday
Published: Tuesday, March 28, 2006
Sandra Harwitt

In the two women’s quarterfinals today, all four of the competitors are champions at the Grand Slam level.

The weightier encounter is the all-Russian battle between Maria Sharapova and Anastasia Myskina – they have tasted the ultimate success as singles champions at the majors.

Myskina became the first Russian woman in history to ever win a Grand Slam title when she etched her name onto the winner’s trophy at Roland Garros in 2004. Prior to Myskina’s victory, Olga Morazova was the Russian woman who came closest to grabbing a Grand Slam title, losing to Chris Evert in the 1974 Roland Garros and Wimbledon finals.

But Myskina certainly started the ball rolling for her countrywoman when she ushered in a new era for women’s tennis in Russia.

Only a month later, Sharapova became a Grand Slam champion in her own right, winning Wimbledon as a 17-year-old.

And two months after that, Svetlana Kuznetsova, already into the semifinals here this year, having beaten Ai Sugiyama in the quarterfinals Tuesday, hit payday at the U.S. Open.

Any way you look at the No. 12 ranked Myskina and No. 4 ranked Sharapova are nip-and-tuck in terms of career accomplishments. They both have one Grand Slam singles trophy, and while Sharapova owns 11 career titles, Myskina is only slightly behind with 10 titles. The advantage Sharapova has on this front is she won that 11th title at the last tour stop in Indian Wells, so she’s definitely in a winning frame of mind.

Of course, the advantage that Myskina brings to the table is a 3-1 career edge over Sharapova, although it would be fair to take note that these two have not played since Sharapova won that one match in the 2004 season-ending Sony-Ericsson WTA Tour Championships semifinal.

Let’s just say that these two ladies are not the best of friends and have had their moments to the point that Myskina indicated a couple of years ago she wouldn’t play on a Davis Cup squad with Sharapova. Here’s the deal – [glow=red,2,300]Myskina is Moscow through-and-through, she loves her country[/glow] and has always lived there. In contrast, Sharapova moved to the Tampa area when she was six, and while she considers herself a Russian citizen, she’s always been more like a young American girl looking forward to a Saturday afternoon at the mall.

At the moment it is Sharapova who has the momentum, but don not discount Myskina’s role as the Grand Dame of the Russian woman. She came first on the Grand Slam scene and she would very much like to come first here in Miami.

It’s very close to call, but make the march with Myskina into the semifinals

Good read ;D

S. KUZNETSOVA/A. Sugiyama
6‑0, 7‑6
An interview with:


SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA


THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. It seems that you are back to your best level.

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I still hope to get much better than this (smiling).

But definitely I am very happy. I worked very hard preseason, and I been working a lot on myself and on my game like last tournaments. I am pretty happy with my improvement, you know.

It seems like black line in my life for the moment, it's over. It looks much lighter, everything. I am more happy on the court. I am very excited about my match, my game, and I really enjoy the game on the court. I never enjoyed that much before.

Now it looks to me like I am under control of situation.

Q. Your confidence is back?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yes, definitely I have much more confidence. Not on the top of, you know, because I never want to think like I'm on top of something, or it's the end. I think the end is in the sky. I mean, everything is possible in the life.

I want to just keep improving and keep playing much better and just really looking forward to play my next match.

Q. What has been your best match so far this season, do you think?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: My what?

Q. Your best match.

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: My best match. I think I played very well against Martina. I mean, I didn't ‑‑ she played very smart against me. She's very smart player. She play me so very uncomfortable, but I still was there, I was still playing all the match.

Then I played very good match against Amelie in Dubai, definitely. I think these are probably my highlights of this season.

Q. Those are good wins. So you can look forward now to have some others?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yes, definitely. I mean, I am improving match by match. I am really happy about it. Still looking forward, big matches to come more.

Q. I have a question about instant replay.

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yes.

Q. If you look at the numbers, the lines people are wrong about 25% of the time. So let's say 25% of close calls, they're actually wrong. Do you think that's a good number or a bad number for a lines person?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: You know, the thing is it's hard to say because they still human, you know. That's why they make this Eye call, and that's why it's so interesting. You still can challenge and you still have chance to win, you know. This is the good thing about line calling.

But then, I mean, the speed is so fast, you know. I don't think you would be happy to sit out there and to challenge this ball, you know, when you have so much pressure on you and the ball is coming and the speed is really quick.

Q. But in your opinion, is one out of four too many, or is that a good number for someone calling lines?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I would say it's all right (smiling).

Q. You would say it's all right?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I don't want to blame nobody. I just want to keep out, you know (smiling). Just chill, you know. Whatever, it's happens. You know, bad calls happens. It's tennis, it's all about the game, you know. You get upset, but you still have to keep playing.

Q. Your face says that maybe you think that number is too high?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: (Laughing). My face may say many things, but my tongue telling what I think, what I have to say, you know.

Q. Are you going to watch tonight the match between Amelie and Nadia?

SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I think I am going to go to swimming pool. I saw enough tennis (laughing).

I don't think I gonna stay here tonight. I think I gonna go home because I spend lots of time on the court, and I saw ‑‑ I played Amelie, and I know more or less how that Nadia plays. And my coach will do that job, so...
