Австралийская подготовка к АО

 

Австралийцы начали подготовку к АО 2011 - они поставили фото Аны Иванович на обложку журнала "Australian Tennis Magazine" и написали для нее статья "Remodelling a Champion".

 

Им хочется чтобы "реконструкция чемпионки" была успешна. И может быть мечтают увидеть Аны в финале АО или даже с кубкой в руках.

 

Ну чтож.... мы не имеем ничего против увидеть новый финал Мария - Ана на АО 2011.

 

 

Несколько цитаты из этой статьи:

Many had given her up after two years of indifferent results, but she could hardly have played any better in the past few weeks and she is clearly a force once more. While others doubted, did she think she could get her game back again?

"I did have doubts," she admits, "because even though I have a lot of belief in myself you need to prove it to yourself on the court. During the toughest moments my team always believed in me and that was important. They believed in me maybe even more than I believed in myself. They didn′t have any doubts, and that gave me confidence.

"I′m still not there yet. It is a gradual process and I need to achieve a lot more consistency to get back to the top, but having more wins under your belt helps build your confidence. It′s a long process and at one point I wasn′t really aware of that. I wanted to have results and get back to the top straight away, but sometimes it takes longer than you anticipate. It was a big thing for me to realise it takes time and you have to be patient.

"But now I feel very confident about my game and my fitness. I feel my game is getting close to where it used to be and I′m even more aggressive, and experience-wise. I′m much more mature and a more complete player now."
