Injury
Kindest greetings to all! It happened that in the spring I was injured and have not played for a long time since then… I was trying to recover and did all my best in order to get my leg to normal. I had to deal with it twenty-four hours a day! I wanted so much to play at Roland Garros, but in vain… Eventually, I had completely recovered only by Wimbledon and played several matches there. I had to try to make loading to my leg and see how it would feel in play, but, unfortunately, in the end I had to give up my attempts because of intense pain. Now I am in Moscow at rehabilitation. Generally, the things are going well and I hope for the best! What are my further plans? I’ll go to the tournament in Istanbul, I’ll play some matches, I’ll see condition of my leg. Most likely, I’ll go to Turkey a bit earlier to have time for training. translation

Off-season
Hello everyone! A long distance tennis season is finally over. This year I had many great victories and insulting losses, ascents and falls. But really I don’t want to think and analyze any of that any longer. In the end the most memorable moments were at the Olympic Games, at the Kremlin Cup and at the WTA Tour Championships. Perhaps I’d like to win everywhere, but I’ve not managed yet. Anyway at that moment I did my best. Now I’m more experienced and I have confidence that I can release everything that I work on... Certainly it doesn’t always turn out that way, but it means I have something to keep working on ))) I’ll try to do it next year and now I have time to take a break, to study and stay at home… just little bit))) The weather in Moscow is cold now, I’d like it warmer, but never mind. So I’m searching my wardrobe for warm clothes. Vera translation

Finally back home !!!
Greetings to everyone! I somehow haven’t shown here for a long time!!! Accept my sincere excuses, but I just didn’t manage to drop in here. Either training, or flight, or match, or no Internet at hand!!! But right now I finally decided to cross by Starbucks close to the hotel and to write a few lines in my forlorn diary!!! Oh, it is just so, so long ago that I was away from home, so tomorrow I will jump into the plane and forget about tennis for at least 3 oncoming days!!! No, no, please, do not misunderstand me, of course, I would willingly stay in New York for one more week, but, unfortunately, it didn’t come out as I wanted, so I will have to leave the tournament already tomorrow. ((( I suppose that in the first turn I need now to elaborate the technique… I somehow broke up exactly in technical aspect over the recent 2 months… That is why my blows are much slower and less accurate, which allows my contestants to play the game they want… And with only will one won’t go far… So, 3 days of rest and – again fight!!! But, in the first turn, I would like to share my impressions about the Olympiad! In any case the Olympiad is something special… at least, for me…And I didn’t expect to win the medal… and, in general, I am unbelievably happy that the whole pedestal is ours!!! We fought in Beijing for the whole country and for me it is great honour))) And by the way, the Chinese took all pains. Perfectly organized, all of them are friendly and welcoming. Olympic village is a small sportive town with its own life and bustle!!! While I was sitting on breakfast since morning, Kobe Bryant and James Lebron close to me again making jokes with someone! So, such impressions will stay inside of me forever… Oh, my accumulator is getting lower!!! I am sending this record, only not to lose everything, I promise to add my story these days!!! And if you have any questions, write me, I will try to answer them )))) Kissing everyone, Vera!!! translation
