現在ロシアでは女子テニスの国別対抗戦、フェドカップが行われている。
ベスト4に残ったロシア、フランス、スペイン、オーストリアが優勝を目指しているが、
スペインを破ったフランスと、オーストリアに勝ったロシアが決勝に進出。
ロシアのメンバーはミスキナ、クズネツォワ、ズボナレワ、リホフツェワの4人で
われらがマリア・シャラポワはメンバーに入ってない。
しかし、ウィンブルドンのチャンピオンとなって以来、
シャラポワをチームに加えるべきだ、との声が当然上がっている。
このような状況の中で、ミスキナは
「もし来年シャラポワが選ばれるなら、私はフェドカップ代表を辞退する」
と発言。
女子テニスが好きな人なら、アメリカを拠点とするシャラポワと
ミスキナやデメンティエワらのロシア勢の間に確執がある、という話を
聞いたことがあるかもしれない。
今回のミスキナの発言は、それを裏付けているような感じもするが
実際にはシャラポワが嫌われているのではなく
問題なのはシャラポワの父、ユーリさんのようである。
ミスキナの言葉
「シャラポワの父親の（特に試合での）振る舞いは、あまりにも失礼。
ああいう人の近くにはいたくない。」
ロシアのフェドカップ代表のコーチの1人も語る。
「マリアの大きな問題は、あの父親。
彼が他のメンバーの選手や審判たちとうまくやっていけるはずがない。」
「先日のWTAチャンピオンシップでの彼の振る舞いは狂っていた。
マリアがロシアの選手と試合するときはいつもすごく興奮して、
また下品で、手がつけられないほどだった。」
ミスキナは付け加える。
「彼は叫ぶし、大声でマリアに指示してたし、試合中にコートに降りてくるかと思ったわ。」
なおシャラポワの父親は、WTAチャンピオンシップ準決勝の
ミスキナとの試合で審判から警告を受けている。
親バカのいきすぎかもね。

Myskina: No Fed Cup if Sharapova's dad there
Posted: Wednesday November 24, 2004 7:39PM; Updated: Wednesday November 24, 2004 7:39PM
MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Anastasia Myskina, spearheading Russia's challenge for its first Fed Cup title this week, says she will stop playing for her country if Maria Sharapova, in the company of her father, is invited to join the team next year.
"If she [Sharapova] joins our team next season you won't see me there for sure," the French Open champion told reporters after crushing Austria's Patricia Wartusch 6-0, 6-0 on Wednesday.
Myskina's win gave hot favourites Russia a commanding 2-0 lead in their Fed Cup semi-final against Austria after day one.
Sharapova has been kept out of this year's team by Myskina and U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, but Russia Fed Cup captain Shamil Tarpishchev said he would welcome the Wimbledon champion next season.
However, Larisa Neiland, Tarpishchev's assistant, said she felt it would be difficult for the 17-year-old to break into the team because of her "nasty father."
"Maria's main problem is her father and I just don't see how he would co-exist with other girls' parents and team officials," six-times grand slam doubles champion Neiland told Reuters.
Pointing to the season-ending WTA Tour Championships, won by Florida-based Sharapova in Los Angeles, Neiland said: "Every time Maria was playing a Russian girl, her father's behavior was simply outrageous, nasty and out of control.
"He basically tells everyone 'to get lost.' I just don't see how he could work with the rest of us," she added.
Asked about Neiland's comments, Myskina said: "I'm totally agree with Larisa. I feel his behavior is totally incorrect, simply rude. I don't want to be around people like him."
After losing to Sharapova in the semi-finals, Myskina said: "He [Yuri Sharapov] was just yelling and screaming instructions to her and I thought he just might jump right on the court at one point in the match."
Sharapov received a warning from the chair umpire for coaching his daughter during the Myskina match.

Myskina threatens Fed Cup walkout
Anastasia Myskina has insisted she will stop playing for Russia's Fed Cup team if Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova joins the set-up in 2005.
Myskina is unhappy with the courtside behaviour of 17-year-old Sharapova's father Yuri Sharapov.
"If she joins our team next season you won't see me there for sure," said Myskina, the French Open champion.

去年も何だかの大会で、観客席で対戦相手のコーチと立ち回りめいたことをして警備員と揉めたらしく、ウィンブルドンでのインタビュー（Q-F??)の時に指摘されてマリアが泣きそうになって記者たちに抗議していたけど・・・。彼女達親子の感動ストーリー記事など全部読んでいる私としては、分かる気がするので複雑な心境です。二人とも性格も良くて凄くイイ人なんだけどねえ。
そろそろきちんと子離れしていただきたいかな。
過去にも選手のオヤジさんが女子テニスのトラブルメーカーになった例がありますからね。
