ロシアテニス協会はマリア・シャラポワを9月のフェドカップに召集しないことを本人にも通達した模様。
シャラポワが北京五輪に出場できるかは微妙になってきた。
すでに先日書いたとおり、監督が9月のイタリアとの決勝には出さないと言ってるわけで。
この件に関してAFP通信があらためて報道し、ニューヨークタイムスなどに記事が掲載された。
記事によれば、タルピシュチェフ監督は
「準決勝でアメリカに勝ったメンバーで決勝も戦いたい。シャラポワ抜きで決勝まで進んだのだから、そこに彼女を呼ぶのは正しいことではない。」
と話している。
そして、この決定はシャラポワにも伝えられているようだ。
ロシアテニス連盟のルールでは、フェドカップ（男子はデビスカップ）でプレイした経験のある選手しか五輪代表にはなれない、となっており、シャラポワはまだ1度もフェドカップには出場していないので、このままだと北京五輪には出場できない。
タルピシュチェフ監督は「シャラポワを来年のフェドカップのチームに召集するかは、今後考える」としている。

Fed Cup axe leaves Sharapova Olympics dream in doubt
Sat Jul 21, 5:29 PM ET
Maria Sharapova's hopes of playing in the Beijing Olympics suffered a major blow after she was told that she would not be considered for the Russian Fed Cup team to face Italy in September's final.
Captain Shamil Tarpishchev lost patience with the former world number one who has yet to represent her country.
Sharapova pulled out of the semi-final against the United States last week with a shoulder injury, a decision which once again delayed her long-awaited Fed Cup debut.
"I feel it would be incorrect to invite Sharapova to play against Italy as we reached the final without her," Tarpishchev said.
"I want to call up those girls who won the semi-final with the United States to play the final tie."
Tarpishchev's decision not to call Sharapova into his squad may cost the 2004 Wimbledon champion a chance to play at the Olympics.
According to the rules of the Russian tennis federation only those players who performed in the country's teams in the Davis Cup and Fed Cup would be considered for Olympic selection.
The Russian skipper said that he would finalise his decision concerning Sharapova's chances of playing in Beijing later adding he would also decide whether or not to call Sharapova into his Fed Cup squad next year.
Russia, who beat the USA 3-2 in Vermont last weekend, will take on defending champions Italy, who beat France, in the match for the Fed Cup title on September 15-16.
Russia won the Fed Cup in 2004 and 2005.
