-- Will you manage to improve your perfomance by the next match, and how?
-- Yes, I hope.. I hope I'll manage, but you never know... sometimes you go out for the play and think that everything's ok, as it happened today, and the level of tennis was very high and I felt myself sort of... not as usual, you know...
-- How can one explain such a big amount of mistakes in the first set and troubles with serving?
-- I had very strong recieving and I wanted to serve hard, first and second, (прием, я не знаю, какой спортивный термин используется для обозначения приёма мяча в английском) aaaaanddd... I don't know, <дальше я не понял, про что она говорит>,
-- What will you focus on when preparing for the match with Dementeva?
-- Ehmm... It seems I should focus on recieveng, make it more stable, maybe... dunno, it's better to just go out and play, I won't think of something certain, I must serve lower and <что-то еще делать, я не понимаю> and improve the percent of the first serve.
-- Lena and you are famous for your good temper. How do you think, will it play the primary role or the tennis components will decide everything?
-- I think, the temper greatly helps in the end, after seven (что значит "после семи"?), but it varies from day to day... Today, I think, my temper helped me, tomorrow maybe the tennis will do the job.
-- Lena said she would be interested to play with you. She lost the last match and it could be a part to gain revenge. Remembering the matches with Dementeva, yeah? Are there any pluses and minuses in playing with her? Does she "fit" or not?
-- I don't remember any easy match with her. It was very strong wind and while the result might seem rather easy from aside, the play was very difficult. So I should expect something good from her and prepare for everything.
-- Do you have to do your lessons between matches?
-- A bit, not much. I'm doing economics at present.
-- Whose support is the most important to you?
-- Whose? Parents' of course.
-- Are they here with you?
-- No, Mom was at the first week before Wimbledon, now only Dad is here
-- Do you call her?
-- Of course.
