East West Bank Classic Interview








 

“I’m very disappointed I am not able to continue my play in Philadelphia. I was having a really good tournament and I’m sure it will still be an exciting final weekend. I just wish I could be a part of it.”

Women's tennis' biggest draw card, Maria Sharapova, is expected to have an easy run in the opening round of a Hong Kong Invitational after being paired with Chinese doubles star Yan Zi, organisers announced on Tuesday.

If she wins, she will play the winner of a tough fight between Czech Nicole Vaidizova, ranked 10th, and world No 8 Russian Elena Dementieva in the four day event beginning January 3 next year.

In the other first-round matches, world No 5 Kim Clijsters of Belgium will face China's Zheng Jie, and American Lindsay Davenport will take on fourth-ranked Russian Svetlana Kutzezova.

Good luck, Maria. I just could not watch you playing because I've got to come back to England. I've got an interview at St. Anne's College at Oxford. Hopefully, I can get in. Pray for me.
