Anastasija Sevastova «I’d like to take on Sharapova in Moscow»

Anastasija Sevastova «I’d like to take on Sharapova in Moscow»

October 16, 06:30 PM

It’s not your first time here, it’s almost a tradition, what do you expect from the tournament?

It’s always a pleasure to come here, to one of the last tournaments of the year. Everyone is so happy, like on Christmas Eve. I’m in a good shape; we will see how I will play, the first round is always the hardest one.

What is your impression about yesterday’s players’ party?

It’s a nice place for this party with good music. We stayed there for a while and then left.

You met with Sharapova twice during this season – in the US and Beijing. What wasn’t enough there?

I was one point down in Beijing. But seriously I think that the US Open match was more important than the one in Beijing. I liked half of the match, but I ended up losing the clash. I was losing 5:2 in the 3rd set but I think it was a decent loss after saving the points - 7/6.

Were the matches against Sharapova special for you?

No, it wasn’t like this. Of course, at the US Open I didn’t know her game: when you step on the court you see how it goes – is it fast or slow. It seems to me that our games match each other in the game and we show good tennis. I’d be glad to meet her here.

It’s been noticed on some occasions tennis players rush into the top simultaneously as Federer and Wawrinka did. How can you explain the fact that two successful tennis players – you and Jelena Ostapenko made their appearance in Latvia at the same time? Do you compete with each other?

I don’t know how it happened in Latvia. Competition is a usual thing in sport, but I play my own game regardless of other players. My success always makes me happy and I’m glad that I’m supported in Latvia.

Many tennis players are ambitious and the calendar is inconvenient for them. What about you?

Everyone is ambitious. I don’t like much the schedule of the Fed Cup, especially when we play in Europe, because you have to time yourself well to play. I don’t know whether I will play next year or not because there are indoor tournaments in Doha and Dubai at the same time

Who are your friends?

I’m friends with the Russians, as well as with German and Austrian girls because I speak German.
