Russians Take Charge in Moscow
Anastasia Myskina and Elena Dementieva gave heavy favourites Russia a
commanding 2-0 lead against under-strength Croatia after the opening day of
their Fed Cup first round World Group tie on Saturday. Dementieva crushed
former French Open champion Iva Majoli in straight sets 61 64, after Myskina
had overpowered Sprem, who was making her singles Fed Cup debut, 61 36 60.
Dementieva, fresh from winning her first career WTA title last week at Amelia
Island, took the opening set in just 19 minutes and was serving for the match
at 5-2 before Majoli could put up something of a fight. The Croatian won the
next two games, but Dementieva was able to serve out the match after 54
minutes.
“Five days ago I came back from the United States and I am still feeling the
effects of it,” said the 21-year-old Muscovite, who now holds a 6-0
head-to-head advantage over Majoli. “And the fifth or the sixth days are
suppose to be the most difficult, so I had trouble to adjust to different time
zones and different court surface. But still, I was expecting a much tougher
match to be honest.”
The Russian also took exception to her opponent’s comments at Friday’s draw
ceremony. “Yesterday Majoli told everyone that she should have won our last
match when we played two weeks ago in Charleston, but I think after losing in
straight sets today she won’t say such things anymore.”
Majoli, however, saw things differently. “She didn’t have to do anything to
win this match. I just played a very bad match. My timing was off and I had to
fight with myself all the time. Besides, the stringer strung my racket about
five kilos looser than it should have been, so my ball were flying all over
the court. It was just a bad day for me out there.”
In the opening rubber, it looked as if Myskina would run away with the match
after winning the first set 61 in just 27 minutes and breaking Sprem’s serve
again, for the third time in the match, in the third game of the second set.
But the 18-year-old Croatian was able to control her nerves as the match
progressed. She broke the Russian right back to level the score at 2-2, then
secured another break in the eight game before serving out the set 63.
“I just lost my concentration a little bit in the second set, said Myskina,
who already has two WTA titles to her credit this year. “Sprem is a dangerous
player and if you give her just a small finger she would bite the whole hand,
that’s why you have to be very careful with her. Fortunately for me, I was
able to get back in control in the third set.”
Myskina also paid tribute to former Russian President Boris Yeltsin, who was
watching the match from the stands at Moscow’s Druzhba Sports Hall along with
his wife Naina. “He is our number one fan, that’s why I was feeling a bit
nervous at first. But Yeltsin is also our number one coach and he told me to
use my backhand down the line more often. And it worked just fine.”
In the final set, Myskina found the range with her shots from the baseline
once again, sweeping the Croatian 60 in 23 minutes. The Russian clinched the
match with a powerful forehand cross-court winner.
“I was getting tired by the third set,” said Sprem. “I was also feeling a
bit down on myself and couldn’t get up although I tried, but just couldn’t
do it.”
Croatian captain Goran Prpic sounded very pessimistic about the chances of his
team, which was missing two of its top players, Silvia Talaja and Jelena
Kostanic, through injuries. “Yesterday I told you that we didn’t have much
of a chance and now I think that we have even less chances to win this tie.”
