Russian Maria Sharapova, two of the world aspires to become again the queen of world tennis, while acknowledging that at present, the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka is in this position, and dreams of the Olympics London, one of his goals this year.

In an interview with EFE, Sharapova said that the blue color which this year opens on 1,000 of Madrid Masters is out of the tradition, adding that he would like to "return to original color."

What faces the clay court season this year?

"In these two weeks before Roland Garros I want is better, catch up and see how everything goes. For me this tournament is a great opportunity to see how I am, prepare well and adjust my game and be ready for Paris the best way possible. "

You have been beaten this year by Azarenka twice in the final of Australia and Miami, although it has been vindicated in the final of Stuttgart, is now his toughest opponent?

"Yeah, totally. She is having a fantastic season and now is in a great form, and, having won twice this year has great confidence, it is definitely my biggest rival, at this time.

What would you like more, to regain the world number one or regain a Grand Slam title?

"I would be delighted both, of course. Fortunately I had the opportunity to see how it feels before in these two situations. And it would be very happy if I win more Grand Slam tournaments, but again become world number one, now that I'm close to having that possibility is also one of my goals this year, but mostly play as a true number one. "

This year's Olympics dispute in London, how you live this competition?

"It's special, especially since I missed the Beijing because of my shoulder injury, and I felt very much. I grew up always with the idea of participating in Olympic Games because it is part of Russian culture as an athlete. We like to compete in that event, and since I was young I dreamed of doing and represent my country in it. There are many people who are aware of this, and tennis has earned great athletes that participate in this competition. "

Is winning a medal in London, is one of your goals?

"There are still weeks and I just want to get well prepared there. Will be a different surface (grass) and if I win a medal is an incredible experience, but if not the only win being part of my country's Olympic team is already important and one of the most emotional situations this year. "

After training in the new blue track of the tournament, what are your impressions?

The track is different, of course, by boat, the color, for all that surrounds it. But everything is different every tournament. If it is true that is out of the tradition of clay and soil such as Roland Garros never be blue. We think what the real reason, if the show or for other reasons. In any case a great tournament, but I'd go back to the original color. "
