Auckland, Noua Zeelandă - A fost un sezon bun anul 2011 - pentru tenismena română Monica Niculescu, care a intrat in US Open clasata pe locul nr.68, şi a terminat anul pe nr.30. Acum, ea speră să continue ritmul ei bun si în 2012 şi în această săptămână ne aduce un mini interviu pe blogul WTA de la Auckland.
Hi everyone, The doubles today was a tough match against good opponents, but I enjoyed it a lot. Me and Alizé played very well with big shots and good interception at the net. All the match was very close but at the end, two points made the difference. The stadium was full. I think we made a good show for the spectators and I had a lot of fun on the court with Alizé! I like playing doubles a lot because I love to play at the net, making volleys and interceptions, and I also like the team spirit. I like singles too because I'm on the court making decisions by myself, finding solutions for different opponents with different game styles. I can't say I prefer one over the other - I like both singles and doubles! It was my first time playing with Alizé. She is a girl full of energy on the court, like me. I'm playing with my Romanian compatriot Irina Begu in the next two tournaments, Hobart and the AO - this is also a new team. I just finished my match and am about to go and eat something. I'll answer some of your questions first though and will come back :) What are your favorite tournaments? Shannon, UK Did you ever get to meet Fabrice Santoro? Irina, Romania What would you say is your biggest strength on the court? Jason ... I'm flying early tomorrow morning to Hobart. I had a really nice time here in Auckland. I want to thank all the sponsors and all the people who organize this tournament. And of course I would like to say HELLO to all of my fans!! With respect,
Wednesday, January 4, 2011 Hello everybody :) Well unfortunately today wasn't my day. Zheng Jie is a strong opponent. She played very well. I also had some pain in my right shoulder from the beginning of the match - I was trying to do my best, but it just didn't work. I'm still in the doubles though so I hope I can do better there! I like New Zealand very much, especially Auckland. This is a very quiet country with nice weather and nice people. I also like it here because there's no traffic like everywhere else in the world, and also one of my best friends on the tour, Marina Erakovic, lives here! I got to see all her family this time. We have been good friends for a long time, since we played junior doubles together (we played two finals at Wimbledon and won the Orange Bowl together!) I'll talk to you all again tomorrow... goodnight from Auckland :) Moni Who are your three favorite players on the ATP? Andrei-Sorin, Romania What is the best advice you have ever been given? Shane What are your next tournaments after Australia? Adrian, Romania |
