Россиянка Мария Шарапова в преддверии старта «Уимблдона» рассказала о своей подготовке к турниру.
«Я надеялась сыграть подготовительный турнир, но из-за проблем со здоровьем мне пришлось съездить домой, пройти обследование. Мне понадобилось какое-то время, чтобы прийти в себя, восстановиться и вернуться к работе. Я планировала поехать во Флориде, но мне пришлось заняться лечением в Калифорнии.
Было здорово, когда я смогла выйти на корт, и мне не приходилось кашлять и сморкаться по сто раз. Последние 10 дней прошли очень хорошо. И несмотря на то, что я не провела турнир, я провела несколько тренировочных матчей, сыграла тренировочный матч в Истбурне. Пока что все идет хорошо».
В первом круге Шарапова сыграет с Джоанной Конта.
«Мы с ней никогда не встречались. А такие матчи в первом круге «Шлема» всегда получаются непростыми. На прошлой неделе в перерывах между тренировками я видела пару ее игр в Истбурне, где она показала хороший результат. Было полезно посмотреть на ее игру», – приводит слова теннисистки официальный сайт «Уимблдона».

Back to work for in-form Sharapova
After a spell of illness, the No.4 seed is back in shape and ready for her 13th appearance at The Championships.

Maria Sharapova radiated health and vitality as she faced the media on Saturday ahead of her 13th Wimbledon campaign.
Fresh from an ESPN shoot, she looked relaxed, exchanging banter with the media as she took her seat.
Just a few weeks ago, it was a far different story.
“I was hoping I could play a warm-up tournament leading up to [Wimbledon]. But due to the circumstances, the way I was feeling, actually I had to go back home and do some tests, run through all that,” she revealed.
“It took a little while for me to really refresh and recover and give myself just a chance to feel good again and get back to work. I planned on going to Florida. But then I needed to do a few things back in California for my health.”
Tennis fans will remember Sharapova’s sickly run through the Roland Garros draw last month, which ended in the fourth round at the hands of Lucie Safarova.
But having been given the green light to prepare for the tournament that catapulted her to stardom when she won it as a teen back in 2004, she has forged ahead.
“It was great to be able to be on the court and not have to cough or blow my nose a hundred times and all those things,” she said.
“It’s been a really good 10 days. To finally have that energy, I think that’s quite important as an athlete. Despite not playing an event, I’ve played a few practice matches, played a practice match in Eastbourne. It’s been going well so far.”
Many thought that the floodgates would open for Sharapova at Wimbledon following her first title on the lawns of the All England Club. Yet as she scored success at all the other majors around the world – New York in 2006, Melbourne in 2008 and Paris in 2012 and 2014 – another victory in SW19 has proven elusive.
Not that Sharapova is bemoaning her relative lack of success here since then.
In fact, she arrives at The Championships nowadays with a different outlook to when she was a teenager, mostly due to a career-threatening shoulder injury seven years ago, which took a mammoth rehabilitative and mental effort to overcome.
"To still be competing at Wimbledon all these years later – and having held aloft the trophy – is nothing but a blessing.“I understand or I see things a little bit differently [since] 2008 than I saw it before as far as my expectations and the reality, I guess how I feel after tough matches or losing,” she said.
“I think when you’re out of the game for a while, you’re really given that chance to think how fortunate you are when you feel that you just had a bad practice, and actually it’s great to just have a bad practice, whereas I was not practicing at all.”
Thankfully, the practice this year coming into Wimbledon has been of the better variety, and it is form she hopes to continue against soaring Brit Johanna Konta in round one. Konta, a quarter-finalist in Nottingham and Eastbourne and who has won six of her past nine grass court matches, presents as a tough prospect for the Russian.
“We never played against each other before. That’s always tricky in the first round of a Grand Slam,” Sharapova said. “Saw a couple of her matches in Eastbourne last week where she had a good result in between my practices. That was good to have a little bit of a look at her game, see how she plays.”
Yet it is physical health, rather than Konta, that is primarily occupying the No.4 seed’s mind.
And with a forgettable French Open behind her, a more favourable fortnight at Wimbledon is taking shape.
“Once I got healthy and kind of got the green light to just start training, that was my goal,” she said.
“Going through that, it’s been a great last couple of weeks.”
