[Pacfic Life Open]連Sharapova都出局了!!!
A new day at the 2007 Pacific Life Open produced yet another surprising upset as top women’s seed and defending champion Maria Sharapova fell to fellow Russian Vera Zvonavera in Tuesday’s first match on center court.
Sharapova appeared comfortably on her way to a quarterfinal berth after earning herself the opportunity to serve for the victory at 6-4, 5-4, but the match quickly spiraled downhill.
”After that I just deflated a little bit,” said Sharapova. ”I wasn’t moving, moving well at all. I missed a lot of first balls. They got returned. And I missed the first ball, and I serve, miss the first ball. That obviously gives your opponent so much confidence. She just started swinging and wasn’t making a lot of errors.”
The 15th-seeded Zvonareva won the final four games, with Sharapova gift-wrapping the second set with three double-faults alone in the final game. Zvonareva used the momentum to build a 4-0 lead in the third set and allowed Sharapova just one more tally in the match as she defeated the 19-year-old 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
Sharapova, who was making her first appearance since retiring with a left hamstring last month in the Tokyo semifinals, said: ”[I] still felt pretty rusty. It’s hard coming to an event when you haven’t played a lot and you try to improve with every match. But sometimes you run into someone who’s a great competitor, who’s had a lot of experience, who plays many tournaments a year. You know, you’ve got to be ready. You’ve got to take your chances when you have them.”
Sharapova說的一點都沒錯,完全是她自己的問題,因為她的double faults有13個,第二發球率只有31%,而這個Vera,我印象很深刻是因為2006年她在廣州比賽,和中國的孫甜甜對打,這個孫甜甜和她的排名差很多,孫甜甜只有80名,而她至少有20名以內,結果她到最後幾局覺得自己好像快輸了,邊打邊哭,是默默流淚的那種,看了真的覺得很難過,因為她覺得她不可能會輸吧,因為就算不比排名,她2006年表現的很不錯,有拿過CINCINNATI 公開賽的冠軍,我是第一次看選手邊哭邊打的,所以印象還滿深刻的,而她當然後來還是輸給了孫甜甜,哭還是不能挽回什麼滴.....,但昨天她在這一場打贏了sharapova,來到了八強了,下星期的排名肯定有晉升粉多呢,恭喜她嚕!
