Petrova Beats Defending Champ Mauresmo

Defending champion Amelie Mauresmo lost to Nadia Petrova 6-2, 6-2 Tuesday in
opening round-robin play at the WTA Championships, and U.S. Open champion
Maria Sharapova beat Elena Dementieva 6-1, 6-4.
Mauresmo entered the tournament ranked No. 1. For her to end the year with
the top ranking, the Frenchwoman needs to successfully defend her title, have
No. 3 Justine Henin-Hardenne finish last in their group and have No. 2
Sharapova miss the final.
"There's nothing to say about that match except it could be worse in the next
couple of matches," Mauresmo said. "It's hard to say anything positive about a
match like that. I speak better Spanish than I played today."
The 19-year-old Sharapova can finish the year No. 1 if she wins this week and
Henin-Hardenne fails to reach the final. Sharapova, who won the championships
two years ago, is bidding for her sixth title of the year.
Later Tuesday, Henin-Hardenne played former winner Martina Hingis.
Mauresmo played her first match since withdrawing from the Zurich Open last
month because of a right shoulder injury.
"There was no pain in my shoulder - I just feel a little behind the play and I
made stupid mistakes," Mauresmo said. "It's the kind of match I would play
after missing competitions."
The fifth-ranked Petrova broke in the third game of the first set. Mauresmo
challenged to save one set point in the eighth, but a forehand passing shot
by the Russian sealed it on her second attempt.
Mauresmo broke Petrova in the seventh game of the second set after the
Russian had triple-match point. But the Frenchwoman dropped serve the next
game for the fifth time and lost the match.
"Petrova didn't have a great game," Mauresmo said. "She had a good game, a
smart game, and that's what's frustrating."
結果不是肩傷影響阿
重點是太久沒參加比賽
球場的感覺還沒回來...
嗯...
看到報導那句:" I speak better Spanish than I played today."
我不爭氣的噗嗤笑出來Orz
另一篇類似報導
"The shoulder didn't hurt me, but the lack of play did." said Mauresmo.
"Obviously it can't get worse and hopefully there is enough time to put things
right."
同篇報導後面,Petrova也說
"She wasn't 100 percent."
星期三賽事沒有Mo
Let's get our fingers and toes crossed!
