INTERNAZIONALI BNL D'ITALIA (WOMEN)May 17, 2007Nadia PetrovaROME, ITALY THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. It's not easy now for you to sit. You have a problem. NADIA PETROVA: Well, it's good that you make a joke of it, but for me it's not funny at all because I was really looking forward finally to start playing better and find my confidence lately. But, you know, unfortunately I have to wait until the French Open. Q. Did you have problem on previous days with your back, or not? NADIA PETROVA: I've had some accident in the fitness in the gym, and I fall on that side. So I think it has something to do with that. Because probably jammed the joint in my low back. It was actually doing better with each day, and yesterday I experienced some muscle tightness around it, and today warm up was perfect. But then in the match, at one stage I felt like I really have to stretch to the forehand and then I felt some sharpness and burning sensations. From that point it just was getting worse and worse. Q. (From Italian) That is nothing to do with the muscle? NADIA PETROVA: We don't know. We don't know what it is because now it's 30 minutes on court and it's really difficult to say about it what's the problem. So now I probably will change and see the doctor and they'll try to figure out what it is. Because it might be something with a ligament or a muscle or a joint itself, so we need it find out. Q. It's a terrible period for many, many players. NADIA PETROVA: Actually, that's true. Yeah, few players -- Q. What it means? NADIA PETROVA: I don't know. Look with me, it's nothing happen with me on court. Something else happen with me off court. Anything can happen. And because it is such a personal sport, you know, if you're not feeling 100% there's no teammates or partners who can take your kind of job over. You know, it's all about you. Every day you have to be 100% and it's very difficult. Q. (From Italian) Do you think that there are too many matches to play in the schedule? NADIA PETROVA: No. Well, you know, every player makes their own schedule, but we do have quite a lot of commitments that we have to commit for each year. It's very hard for us to, yeah, to be healthy every single tournament. End of FastScripts |
