Defending champion Myskina sadly flames out, Venus Flies
By Matt Cronin
Monday, May 23, 2005
Anastasia Myskina became the first defending champion in the history of the
Open era to lose her first round match when she played miserably in a 6-4,
4-6, 6-0 loss to Spain's Maria Sanchez Lorenzo on Monday.
But 2002 finalist Venus Williams moved ahead, taking down Spain's Marta
Marrero 6-3, 6-2.
Unable to focus and utterly lacking confidence in her shot selection, Myskina
careened 69 unforced errors in the contest and was broken nine times. Saddled
with a sore shoulder, the Russian was unable to ratchet up her service speed.
Moreover, because she lacked faith in the types of strategies she employed,
she frequently hit the ball from bad positions, resulting in inconsistent
play.
"Right now, it's really difficult to understand what I have to do on court,"
she said. "When the ball comes to me, I don't know what I have to do, where I
have to put the ball. I have no confidence at all right now."
The Spanish veteran played a gutsy and consistent contest, attacking
Myskina's serves, rushing the net when given the opportunity and hanging
tough from the baseline.
But Myskina - who has been in emotional turmoil all year long due to her
mother Galina's life-threatening illness - was a shadow of the woman who won
the title last year. In 2004, she coolly dissected the field. This year, she
simply imploded.
"Right now I can lose to anybody," she said. "No matter who's playing against
me, the girl's winning. She played normal tennis. I can't say she did
something special to beat me."
Myskina is so down on herself that she has no idea why she's playing the way
she is, or how she is supposed to get herself out of her funk. She said that
when she's approaching the ball, what's going through her mind is "that I
lost the ball again. My shot decision is not there now. I think I should play
more matches, because that's when you really know what to do. Now, as soon as
the ball comes to me, I don't know what to do with the ball."
Sanchez was pleased with her overall play, but didn't wildly celebrate her
win, because she's aware of Myskina's personal troubles.
"Obviously she's not playing as well as last year," the Spaniard said. "But
people told me about her personal problems. It's not about her game. I think
it's about her mind. I feel so sorry for her. I don't think I had to make a
great show of my victory. I hope she will recover soon. I know she will be
top 10 again very soon."
Williams came into Roland Garros after winning her first title in nearly 14
months in Istanbul. The 24-year-old started slowly against Marrero, but then
found the range on her searing groundstrokes. Playing well inside the court,
she consistently attacked the Spaniard, nailing 38 winners to only 16 from
her foe.
"My level is good," said Williams. "I'm going to keep working hard to be
consistent, move my feet and that kind of thing. I got better as the match
went on. I'm actually quite good as the points go longer, because sometimes I
get a little wild."
While she hasn't produced consistently elite tennis since 2003, Venus still
believes she can contend for the title.
"I try not to listen to the talk because everyone can talk, but there's few
who can walk the walk," she said.
