Evo mene natrag:-)

da nažalost Maria propušta oba turnira i mi s njezinog foruma sada svi mislimo kako ona polako razmišlja o napuštanju tenisa. Ako se ne pojavi na Roland garrosu mislim da je više nikada nećemo vidjet na terenima. Evo jednog članka:

Five years after she stood on Centre Court as Wimbledon's newly crowned champion, talking to her mother on a mobile telephone, Maria Sharapova seems to have it all.


But one question can be no longer ignored: Will the 22-year-old Russian beauty ever be a potent force in tennis again?


For while Sharapova's diary shows she has been in high demand for fashion shoots and boutique openings, the one place she has become conspicuous by her absence is on the tennis court. She last played a meaningful tennis match in public nine months ago and last week remained unwilling to commit to a comeback date.

Sharapova's withdrawal on Wednesday from the important clay-court tournament that starts in Rome tomorrow, and from the following event in Madrid a week later, has caused alarm bells to sound within the game.


Six months after having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in her right shoulder, Sharapova's refusal to put herself on the line in the Foro Italico in Rome shows that she still lacks the confidence in her strength and wellbeing to return to the game.


But is there a deeper, more psychological element to her reticence to embark on a comeback?


Annabel Croft, the former British No1 and now a respected broadcaster, fears Sharapova may have discovered a previously unknown life at the cost of her motivation.


'For the first time, she's enjoyed life away from tennis,' said Croft. 'I understand she's learned to cook, she's done her fashion stuff and she's had her eyes opened to another style of life to the one that she has known since she was four years old.

'She has a boyfriend, it appears, and zillions in the bank. I think she's struggling to motivate herself.

'She knows what she has to put herself through, emotionally and mentally, to be 100 per cent committed to playing tennis and I can't see her coming back.

'Maria was so utterly ruthless as a player, just like Monica Seles in the Nineties. What's the appeal? She has won Wimbledon, the US Open, the Australian Open, and been world No1. She probably can't win the French Open - so, really, she can. only go in one direction. Down.'


Croft competed at the same time as Andrea Jaeger, who rose to world No2, driven like Sharapova by a domineering father, before retiring from the game through a shoulder injury.


'I think Andrea was relieved it was over,' said Croft.


Sharapova has plummeted to No64 in the world and unless she appears at the French Open in Paris in three weeks, she will disappear from the rankings computer altogether as she will not meet the requirement of having three tournament starts to her name in a calendar year.


As a former world No1 and winner of Grand Slam titles, Sharapova would be protected from having to play in qualifying as she will be granted unlimited wild-card invitations, but she cannot expect to be given an automatic high seeding.


At Wimbledon, Sharapova could hope to be dealt with sympathetically as a past champion, if she decides she feels able to play by then.


As a matter of agreement with the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, the seedings committee most frequently select their women seeds for the Championships from the running order of the current rankings.

'But we do reserve our right to exercise our discretion in particular circumstances that may arise,' explained Ian Ritchie, chief executive of the All England Club.


Sharapova's appearance at Wimbledon last summer ended in a humiliating second-round defeat by Alla Kudryavtseva, a match watched in disbelief by Croft.

'I think that loss beat up Maria,' said Croft. 'I don't think she will easily recover from that.'

Sharapova played just one more singles match after leaving Wimbledon, losing to Ai Sugiyama in Montreal at the beginning of August, and had surgery two months later.

Apart from a doubles match in Indian Wells on March 12, when she lost in the first round with Elena Vesnina, she has practised without the apparent desire to test herself in competition.


Last week in Bradenton, Florida, her practice sessions may have given the impression that she has not totally ruled out taking a gamble by returning at the French Open this month.


But in Paris, where she has an unremarkable record, she cannot be guaranteed a place among the top seeds and that would increase her vulnerability at a time when she would be under the spotlight as never before.


Her agent, Max Eisenbud, refuses to cast any light on Sharapova's plans.


'Maria said at Indian Wells that she has no timetable and will come back when she feels 100 per cent ready to compete,' he said last week. 'It's all I can tell you.'

Sharapova and her agent will come under immense pressure from her sponsors to play again.


But for observers such as Annabel Croft, the temptation is to wonder whether the girl from Siberia will ever make any further impact on the game that has already earned her a fortune.

To je strašno... Ona je zaista jako mlada, a izgleda da će je ova povreda zauvek odvući od terena. Ja se ipak nadam boljem završetku cele ove priče.

I ja se takodje nadam da se nece povuci iz tenisa :(

Maria i da se nikad ne vrati u top 10 ima uspješnu karijeru.Ima 3 gren slema, 17 nedelja provedenih na prvom mestu što neke teniserke samo u snu mogu zamisliti.

To je definitivno tačno. Ali, evo vidimo da se polako vraća, na svom prvom grend slem turniru nakon prošlogodišnjeg Wimbledona je dostigla četvrtfinale. I imala je jako slatku plavu haljinu na Roland Garrosu.

Da,bila je damski obucena kao i uvek :) Sada je poprawila plasman i nadam se da ce naprawiti dobre rezultate na Wibldonu!!!

Kako je popravila plasman ako je branila polufinale???

Nije branila 1/2 finala već 1/8 ja msm...:)

U pravu si branila je 4.kolo.

2007 je stigla polufinale

2007. je dostigla polufinale, a 2008. nije prošla faze rundi. Slušajte vi mene.
