“Diana said that on the eve of the duel with Samsonova on RG-2025 became ill and almost starred”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“She felt ill last night. At night she woke up at 3 o’clock and did not sleep for one and a half hours – there was a strong break, laid her nose, sore throat, the whole body was breaking … In the morning she woke up with understanding that everything – I could not play. I could not even stand, the body was spinning.
We came to the courts at 9:00, and I fell asleep just an hour. The warm -up was canceled. I drank the pills – it became a little easier, only strongly twisted across. The doctor who was with me did everything possible to bring me to my senses. Half an hour before the match, I received another dose of paracetamol, and I was a little easier.
I was one step from getting off the match, but the coach said, “If you just go to the court, it will be a victory over yourself.” Through character and stubbornness, I decided to gather everything left. She even consulted with GPT, tried her best – and went to the court.
The condition was terrible, there was almost no strength. But the desire to fight gave me the opportunity to at least play as I played. There were moments, but there was not enough health to squeeze and pick up what could be taken.
For me, this is a valuable experience. It was so difficult for the first time. I overcame myself, at least partially, and played the match without warm -up and normal training. And again I am convinced: tennis is not just blows on the ball. It is about internal readiness, health, psychological state. You can not train and get into the court. But it is impossible to win if you do not have energy and health.
I am both glad and upset that I got that experience. I felt that it was in good shape, and this “Rolan Harros” could be one of the best for me. But everything happens as it should. I take with me all this package of emotions, go treatment and continue to prepare for the next tournaments.
Health is the most important thing. In sports and in life. Thank you all for your support! ”
The Ukrainian gave way to Samsonova with a score of 2: 6, 3: 6. Diana and Diana Schneider had managed to pass Diana in Paris in Paris.
