既然有中文报导写了,来贴个原文
但其实如果观察她历来访谈时的回答,别说卅岁,廿五岁她都直说不
确定还会不会在打球…但现在真的不是想这个的时候啦。
赛前访问也有被问到类似的问题,看1396篇。
联邦盃先加油比较实际。:p

Sharapova says she'll retire from tennis by 30
21 hours ago
MELBOURNE (AFP) — The only shrieking Maria Sharapova wants
to hear 10 years from now will be coming from her babies,
with the newly-crowned Australian Open champion vowing to
quit tennis before she hits 30.
The Russian queen of scream is just 20 years old but
secured her third Grand Slam at Melbourne Park with a
straight sets win over Ana Ivanovic.
US-based Sharapova said she had a deep love of the game but
also wanted to have a family and would not stretch out her
career for too long.
"No. Definitely not," she replied when asked if she would
play on until 2018.
"I hope by that time I'll have a nice husband and a few
kids."
Sharapova also ruled out making a comeback as a
racquet-wielding tennis mum like Lindsay Davenport, who she
beat in the second round on her way to claiming the
Australian title.
"I don't think you'll see me back playing, take my word for
it," she said.
Sharapova said she felt she had earned the rewards that
tennis success had brought, giving her a sense of
accomplishment that allowed her to hold her head high when
branded a "spoiled brat".
"When I see other 20-year-olds that might be driving in
their Range Rover I know that I worked for mine, I have
that satisfaction," said the world number five, who picked
up a 1.2 million US dollar winners at the Australian Open.
"Sometimes you get those dirty looks, where they're looking
at you and thinking 'that spoiled brat, who is that, her
father probably bought her a Range Rover'.
"Like 'no honey!' I bought that myself.
"In those moments you feel mature."
Sharapova said she had been forced to grow up quickly after
winning Wimbledon as a teenager in 2004.
"Because I achieved success so early in my career by
winning Wimbledon at 17, I think it just automatically
makes you older because all of a sudden you're a Grand Slam
champion," she said.
"You're expected to win more Grand Slams, you're expected
to win every tournament you play and it makes you so much
more mature."
She said the grind of being on the women's tour also had
its downsides, including lengthy enforced separations for
her parents Yuri, who accompanies her on tour, and mother
Yelena, who is rarely seen at tennis tournaments.
"It's strange because my career, though amazing, has
brought us a lot of downfalls," she said.
"My parents don't get to see each other very often. But
those are the sacrifices that I and my family have to make.
We've been through a much tougher process (than others)
with not seeing my mum when I was younger."
Despite the talk of retirement, Sharapova said she retained
her passion for tennis.
"To do something that you love to do and being good at it,
there's no better gift," she said.
"When I step on the court, it's a place I love to be in and
nothing will ever change that
"I forget about past matches, I just draw my attention to
the things I want to work on, all those things, positive or
negative, they just go away.
"There's a holiday break, Christmas-time, two great days
off and then you're back on the court and it's like it
never ended.
"When I go on there everything else is gone."
