Maria Sharapova after withdrawing from semifinal match versus Jelena Jankovic THE MODERATOR: Everyone, obviously Maria is here and she cannot play her semifinal match this afternoon. She has a left calf strain. I'll turn it over to Maria to explain how that came about, and then we'll take some questions. MARIA SHARAPOVA: Yeah, you know, yesterday, I think it was in the beginning of the second set, I started to feel my calf a little bit on one movement, and, you know, I felt it throughout that second set. In the third set it got better. Last night consisted of about two and a half to three hours of treatment. You know, to be honest, I thought I was you know, it felt good last night, but I woke up this morning and it's really, really sore. I took a little jog and it didn't go too well. So, you know, it's obviously very unfortunate. As an athlete you go to every tournament and you hope to be one 100%. It was a really quick turnaround to be able to go out on court within 12 hours and have to be ready for another tough match. You know, I think it was it was smart and the best decision at this point, especially with a big tournament coming up.I'm sorry to all my fans and the people that came here to watch me play, and I hope to make it up to them soon. 我想昨天第二盘开始，就开始觉得左小腿有点不适，第三盘感觉好 多了。昨晚接受两个半小时的治疗，老实说，昨晚觉得还不错，但 今天早上起来却很痛，我稍微跑了一下，但状况不太好。身为运动 员自是会想每场比赛上阵都是百分百状态，十二小时内要从一场苦 战准备好另一场是很大的转换。我想这是当前最好的决定，尤其是 法网将至。希望能尽快补偿球迷们。 Q. We're sorry too, Maria. Have you been given anywhere prediction or prognosis on when this will be ready? Does it endanger the French? MARIA SHARAPOVA: I don't think so. You know, they just said it's a strain, and they think I need maybe three days off, two or three days off, before I can really test it out again. Yeah, that's kind of the diagnosis I was given. Q. 是预防措施还是诊断结果吗？防止危害到法网？ 不是的，他们说是拉伤，可能需要休息两三天，再测试看看。 Q. Rome comes out of two semifinals which were not played in the men's tournament, and now one semifinal in the women's tournament. One quarters last week in the men's, one quarters yesterday. Do you think this is just a coincidence? And do you think that the fact that there is Roland Garros so close to Rome it pushes a little bit the players to retire as soon as they're not 100%? MARIA SHARAPOVA: It's is really big event for both the women and the men. You know, everybody plays. The competition is tough, so from the first round on you have to be ready to play. It's five matches if you get to the final. It's five days in a row. You know, for some people, like me, I had two night matches, two late nights. Like I said, it's a pretty short turnaround to be able to, you know, compete. In part it's my own fault for making some of the matches longer than they should be. But in another, the most important thing is recovery and also to be ready for the French, which is obviously the goal for every player. But like I said, this is also a big event for us. It's a Tier 1, and you want to have all the matches and you want to play against top players. That's the goal coming into this tournament. Is it a coincidence? I don't know. Yeah. Q. 男网那边也是退赛连连，是巧合吗？你觉得是因为法网将至， 迫使大家得尽快在自己状态不佳时赶快退吗？ 法网对男女网的确都是很重大的赛事，竞争激烈，得从一开始就 准备好。假使在这里打进决赛，那就是连五天的比赛，而对像我 来说，其中至少包含两天都很晚的比赛，这让调整竞争的时间很 短，部分原因也是我自己的问题让比赛拖很长。但另一部分，最 重要的是复原、准备好法网，这显然是每个球员的目标。但就像 我说的，你会想尽量去跟顶尖球员对抗，那是来这里比赛的目标 ，巧合吗？我不晓得耶。 Q. (From Italian) Your answer to the previous question might show that you had no time last night to prepare your match for today. Also, considering that you underwent treatment for three hours you perhaps only went to bed at three a.m. MARIA SHARAPOVA: 3:30. No, actually it was 3:24. I looked at the watch when I went to sleep because I knew you guys would ask me that question. Q. 前面的问答显示你昨晚应该没啥时间准备今天的比赛哦？因 为还接受治疗？ 三点半吧，正确时间是三点廿四分，我睡觉前瞥了一眼，就知道 你们会问啦。 Q. (From Italian) Is it true, to answer the first part of your question, you had no time to prepare for today's match in that respect? MARIA SHARAPOVA: I mean, I've played a lot of matches where I've had to go to sleep that early in the morning and I've had to do the same amount of treatment, and the next day I'm fine. It's just the way things played out here. You know, obviously if I did have a longer time, if I did play my match in the afternoon and finish earlier, or maybe even finished my match quicker, I wouldn't have to deal with the same issues and deal with a longer treatment period and deal with less sleep. Yeah, all those things can combine and create a big deal, but it's not I've been in these situations many times in my career. In the Championships we always have late matches and, you know, late matches at the US Open as well. I've had the experience of it. This one turned out a little bit differently. Q. 所以这样说其实没时间准备今天的比赛？ 我打过很多比赛得提早就寝才能早起面对，也接受一样多的治疗 ，隔天也很好，但比赛就是这样。当然如果我有更充足的时间， 如果能在日场比赛、早点打完之类的，就不会有这样的困扰。这 一切混合起来就成了个大问题，我也不太常碰到这样的状况。像 年终赛跟美网都可能有很晚的比赛，我有过类似的经验。但这个 有点不同。 Q. Were you tempted to go on court and give it a go and then quit and say, I can't go on? Do you feel you might have owed that to the fans out here? MARIA SHARAPOVA: Owed them to go out on the court and play a game? Q. Well, to see how to you went? MARIA SHARAPOVA: Well, when I stepped on my left foot today I knew there was no chance I was going to be able to go on court. Q. Do you think the night matches here start too late? Is there any other tournament where they start at 8:45? MARIA SHARAPOVA: I think some matches in Madrid last year started pretty late. I think it's as bad as about as late as you're going to get. But, you know, I think if you're from this part of the world you eat late and do things late. That's just the way it is. You sign up for the tournament and you got to go with what it comes with. Q. 会觉得这里夜间的比赛开始的太晚吗？还有其他赛事在八点四 十五才开打？ 我想去年有些马德里的比赛就很晚，大概是能想像的晚了。但我 想说如果你来自一切事情都比较晚做的地方，那就是会这样啦。 既然来参加比赛，就是得应付随之而来的问题。 Q. Maybe players are not much concerned about this, but do you think the promoter should be helped, to get some kind of reimbursement when something like that happens like it happened in Rome? Or even if it's not your problem but it's WTA and the organization of tennis in general, do you think they should get something back, or no? MARIA SHARAPOVA: I'm an athlete, and my job is to remain an athlete. There are a lot of other people in the community and in the sport and the sports world to deal with that stuff. Yeah. Q. 觉得主办单位需要协助吗？像这样的事情发生要有些赔偿之 类的？还是这其实就是 WTA 跟整个组织的问题？ 我是运动员，我的工作就是当个运动员。很多人会去处理这类 事情的。 Q. So you went to bed at 3:24. You didn't tell us at what time you woke up? MARIA SHARAPOVA: I didn't sleep much. I don't know, I didn't look at the watch when I woke up. I wasn't thinking about you when I woke up. I'm sorry. I don't know. Some time early in the morning. Q. (From Italian) If you had had this same injury during Roland Garros, would you have retired there as well? MARIA SHARAPOVA: Well, last year I played I basically played without a shoulder and I got to the semifinals. So, I mean, in a Grand Slam stage you're going to do whatever it takes. If it's taking a few extra painkillers or, I don't know what other options there are, then definitely. But a week before the Slam to kind of take your body to that phase, it's quite difficult. Q. 要是在法网碰到一样的问题，也会退赛吗？(呸呸呸) 去年基本上我根本就没带着肩膀打球，打进了决赛…。 我是说，在大满贯时，你得尽一切可能去努力。就算是得用止痛药 什麽的，我不晓得有什麽选择。但大满贯前一周，得调适身体到那 种阶段。 Q. The Williams sisters are staying in Rome even if they lost. I'd like to know what is your plan for the next days. Are you going to go here or go somewhere else, an event, anywhere to practice? MARIA SHARAPOVA: No. I'm going to Paris in a couple of hours. I'm going to get some treatment over there and try to be ready as soon as possible. You know, obviously rest is the most important thing right now, and treatment. Just it's a day by day thing. I hope in two days I'll be able to be on court and be normal. Q. 大小威结束比赛之後还待在罗马，你接着几天有什麽行程吗？ 我等下就会前往巴黎了。要去接受一些治疗，试着尽早准备好。 显然现在最重要的事情就是休息跟治疗。这是得逐日看的。希望两 天内就能回到场上，正常活动。 http://www.internazionalibnlditalia.it/1/PopNews.asp?LNG=EN&IDNews=438 --
