I found Mary Pierce's new article from Swisscom Challenge today!! 
Pierce: "I'm just starting to improve"
Interview with Mary Pierce who retired in the second set (0-6, 0-2) against Katarina Srebotnik.
What is the problem?
What isn?t? That?s how I feel right now. Um, let?s see. Both of my adductors from last week still, and then my left oblique that I kind of aggravated a little last week, and it flared up. And um, just kinda struggling with a flu or throat infection kind of thing, I don?t know, something like that.
Did the injuries result from you?ve had quite a few matches the last few weeks. Are you getting used to palying a lot of matches again?
I think it?s that, but more, just getting used to playing at the level again that I was playing. I think last week was a really great week for me, and I didn?t realize it until towards, you know, more or less the end of the week, that it just took a lot out of me, and um, you know I am just starting to really improve and feel better, and you know, so I am playing at a higher level, and definitely playing at a higher level, higher intensity, you know, my body is not used to that, I guess I haven?t done that in about three years, so it?s a good feeling to go out and play that way, so I?m just happy about that. I just think it?s, my body just needs to get used to it again and just needs to recover a little bit right now.
(French version)
Vous pensez que vous avez besoin d?un repos?
Oui, je pense que j?ai vraiment besoin d?un repos. Pourtant la saison n?est pas finie. J?ai deux semaines pratiquement avant Québec. Je pense que dans deux semaines ce sera bon. Au début de la semaine dernière je me sentais très bien, je n?avais rien. Et puis je commençais à sentir des choses, comme les muscles. Bon, les adducteurs, cela prend un peu des temps. J?ai eu deux jours de repos entre Filderstadt et ici. Et c?est vrai que je me sentais beaucoup mieux, mais je n?ai pas encore eu assez de temps.
C?est une gross déception pour vous ?
Oui, je suis assez déçue. Je voulais jouer quelques tournois cet hiver, parce que je n?avais pas joué l?année passée. Et surtout ici, c?est un grand tournoi et une grande occasion pour avoir des points et pour monter un peu plus dans le classement.
