The 1st question in russian to Dinara:"You said, you were a spoiled girl while the match was going on. Why? Was it connected with the weather, were you tired or were you just not satisfied with yorself?" Dinara`s answer: ''I just couldn`t handle my emotions.You know, if you once let the emotions go you can`t stop it! You must have the power in your head to control all this. I began the game not so bad, but then I lost a couple of balls that was important to win, so I began to ñomplain: it`s the strong wind or I can`t pull the ball to the court. A this level of competition it`s unacceptable! Reporter:''what exactly did you say to yourself?'' Dina:''I all the match said that everything was going bad...Of cours at some moments I asked myself to think possitive, that it was just one of many matches.After the 1st set my coach noticed, that I complained about the wind 12 times, he said that it`s better not to say this, `caurs everybody see the situation. It seems, like I was playing against the wind, not with the ball! Certainly I had to play with the ball!!!Yes, the wind was blowing, so I had to move my legs more active, not to think how strong was the wind. ''And what about Serena's hit to your body?'' ''Well, I shorted badly, of cours she wanted to win, so she hit to the body. It's not against the rules so I can get angry only with me, not with Serena! It's a normal playng situation. ''I guess, it was quite scaring...'' ''What had I be scared of?(smiling) I deserved it. You see, she's a professional. She hit to the place Serena was shure she'll win. If that ''winning'' goal was me, let it be so(smiling) ''Can you describe this playing year of yours?'' ''To be honest, in the beginning of this year I was in a real big black howl, and sometimes I thougt that I just couldn't get out... I lost my game. I had 2 coachs at that moment and I said goodbay to one of them. It was the rightest desition of the lifetime, that I stayed with my present coach. He really helped me! He found my game, he was outliving everything with me. There were so much tears droped by me and he didn't throw me, he didn`t send me with all my problems somewhere far away... I'm so grated to him! Here I couldn`t HEAR the question, can you emaging this? But Dinara was spaeking loudly, so... ''Yes, emotions help me, but only when they are positive! Of cours if you always repeat that everything is bad you'll finally lay off! If you say, that everything is OK, you'll get out of unconvinient situation. The same works on the court, if you say: *wind, wind, wind* in the end you`ll get the hurricane=)) But when you think: "Year, the wind, but go, go, go! Work!" you begin thinking about what YOU have to do and forget about wind.This match showed, that I'm noy ready for playing in the semi-final of US open. I must control my behaving on the court. '' Is the silver olimpyc medal the highest result of you?'' ''I think, that the final of Great Slam is a big result too!Now I'm the diferrent Dinara. I'm happy, that I overcame everything. __________________________________- Girls, sorry for my english! I don't use any online translators and i am only 13 years old... Hope, you'll understand me!
