:eek: Hopefully we get Ana's response.

Q. She was saying, too, that she loves the fight, and she's trying to learn to enjoy it. Do you enjoy the fight when you lose? That's a tricky thing with players. Everyone says, I love to fight. It's great to love to fight when you win. But can you actually come off a court after you lose and say, God, that was great; lost 7 6 in the third; it was fun being out there, screaming, swearing, the whole thing?
MARIA SHARAPOVA: I think there are different ways of showing your will to fight. I mean, there's you know, I've played some opponents where they've said, Come on after every single point they've won and pump their fist.
Deep down inside I know they're not really great fighters, and I know that mentally I'm much stronger than them.

I read this a few minutes ago, and I thought that she said it perfectly !

Who's she talking about?:rolleyes::lol:
Really, I think she's right, but... I couldn't imagine I would say this any day, cause I can't stand Ivanovic and her fist-pumping at all, but now I start feeling sympathy for her. She's in such a big slump and now everyone's so bitchy with her: first JJ (that was cute though), now Maria.
Maybe Maria didn't say this concerning Ana though:confused:

Whoa, Masha just owned that girl. Ma$ha usually only say pump and say common when:

1. She hits a good shot
2. She stuggled the entire rally but manage to win it
3. She wins important points

Those are legitimate reasons to do those things. That lame girl she was talking about does it on every point, on easy errors and it just show how desperate and insecure she is.

Sharapova is so damn right. Azarenka does that every point against Serena and other top players trying to be so over intense and just ends up losing. It's so annoying to watch people trying to lie through their choking tendencies.
:rolleyes: Don't make this about Vika. This has nothing to do with her, nor does it with Ana. Maria said it subtle and in general. That's way better than players who appear to have no brain and just let their tongue roll, pointing specifically at certain players and don't think about consequences.

Remember this fist pump and come on Maria........were you mentally stronger than her?

Kworb, are you trolling the interviews looking for some type of controversy?

exactly :lol: I was gonna say, Sharapova shouldn't be saying this, as she was known for pumping her fist and screaming "c'mon!" (sometimes "vamos" too :weirdo: ), even when her opponent missed the ball or double faulted. Kind of hypocritcal of her. I agree Maria has toned this behavior down these days, but she's still not a saint either :lol: :p
