twenty nine year old seen here during her final tournament in doha this october san she is not sure how exactly she can help the federation of dementia however expressed hope that president r.p. ship would help her learn the ropes the russian should be able to bring a unique perspective of a player having had quite a varied career the gold and silver olympic medalist miles won sixteen teams and styles with only a grand slam if they do dimming to iran. and while dementor is enjoying her new challenges away from the tennis court here rex colleagues will be back to work in january the russian contingent hoping for another straw year after a solid run of form in twenty eight constantin but the above now reflects on the year that was and the challenges ahead for us in tennis. we had all usually finally became the top ranked russian play had a few dollars they would encounter in twenty town selda twenty eight year old can

dissatisfied with his results this year despite the fact that the injury spoiled the end of the season picking. the usually show his best at the us open getting to the semifinals for the second time in his career before being beaten by down stoppable replanted died and reached there on the last quarter finals in paris where he lost to the ultimate winner the moscow aidid and two pieces of silhouette of his cabinet though he wanted tournaments in basel and kuala lumpur and reached three more finals as a result of the soul of the form and he finished the year in top ten not quite enough to get to the a.t.p. world tour finals with the usual despite injuries i would like to praise youzhny who ended the year in the top ten for the first time ever nevertheless he lost about two months because of injuries but our biggest problem in men's tennis is that we do not have hot prospects for the future right now. before this year when i know i was in the shadows of her fellow confederates but if twenty ten have it four

months was beyond brace grab it progress allowed it to mean a six year old to become number one among the russians and grab second in the world rankings all that despite a poor start to the year but ones when i would change coach she soon reached her first grand slam singles final and went at wimbledon well indeed bronze medalists repeated that result in more the use open and in beijing this by being second only to carolyn was knocking the rankings when i know it took only one title this year at but-i acetic so the biggest challenge for her during next campaign is to win a grand slam with her thank you for this one hour of us performance was outstanding this year though she doesn't want to grand slam yet together with maria sharapova she is our most decorated player while sharapova won three grand slams in the singles vyner of a did it once in the doubles and twice in the mixed. i believe that at the end of february she will be able to become number one in the world night of the ball before most of the we didn't go. down the rankings can hide the

biggest disappointment of the season and demand she was farewell from professional sport she no longer felt unable to deal with the media this year around tennis i made a decision because i think it's the right time for me. i'm still in the you know on the top of the game and. it's been amazing experience for me. playing a while they're ready but i think it's time for me to make a big step you know for the make some decisions in my life the former world number three and olympic champion left the sport well in the top ten and playing only w.t. eight or so of the twenty nine year old leaves with her head held high proving she is one of the best tennis players of the past to kate. demands of what is in good physical condition and could easily play three more years focusing on grand slams but according to the w.g. rules an athlete is obliged to take part in certain tournaments and if you don't

have to pay fines they can reach up to a half a million dollars and players are bound by these rules. but twenty eleven promises to be more successful for the russians both in the singles and the davis in fact comps especially family one stays injury free. r.t. . moving away from tennis they said toward football club could become the second team to russia's top echelon this year the sport express daily is reporting that a decision has been made by moscow some of those details of my station or unfinished house last year and look likely to following the steps of the now defunct ab seymour school and most recently a car with either come across and are ready to move up from the second tier to fill their spot the russian prime really though said it had not received any official terminations papers from the club. in cricket ricky ponting has ruled out speculation over his retirement the australian captain will miss the south ashes

test against england due to containing problems with a broken finger but is confident he will leave the school that the upcoming cricket world cup as well as their next test series that's not in my thinking at all now i've often thought about that i don't want to keep flying off by the pretty clear. when i leave this way could go out through the summer i think i've got a lot of offers apply and as captain of the strength of this try and same and i want to continue to do that so you know unfortunate count by this week it's probably going to mean that i'm going to miss the one dies in the straw as well but with a walk up around the corner i want to be the best byron bay slater i can throughout that world cup tournament and hopefully be able to win a fourth consecutive world cup a big right. now despite most of the world enjoying the christmas and new year's holidays there is no rest fresh as the rugby players who are training for the twenty eleven world cup in new zealand richer than paul flayed caught up with a man who is going to try and pull off a shock or two while the tournament gets under way in nine months time. russia's director of run the city diamond likes the challenge he's been living on and off in

the country for the last couple of years but the biggest task ahead of the englishman is yet to come in a month's time russia will play in rugby world cup and diamond knows he has a lot of work ahead of him but all the people realize that how big a task it was to qualify. from a team that never qualified and that that's a monumental thing for the for the nation and the you need to take on board for the next thing is not to be embarrassed in the competition so what we've done with the backing from copy have been the backing from the rubin of russia and. the funding just to go travelling for the next six months or so we're off to new zealand for twenty days in january russia will be one of the lowest ranked nations of the world cup and the drawer hasn't been favorable to them they have to play two of the games giants australia are not island while italy and possibly the usa also the top fixtures for the major difference is just the pace. and the. the importance of

that you create in the tactical situation yeah and that's where you know it can be dangerous if you are a nation that isn't used to playing against opposition we can be some serious injuries so we've got to make sure we case harden in the next time and to prove that russia's boss believes his side strength is with bad backs and will look to move the ball wide as much as possible however it's in defense where they really need to improve diamond saw it shipped over seventy points recently to filomena's japan a back to back defeats to argentina's second string haven't helped even though he says his team have to get fitter games over the last. six months in the church of coping and the odds with internationals against japan and. argentina are a. we competed still in the argentinian games for sixty minutes and then we collapsed in the last day to ten minutes so that's what we've identified is the key area to work on. you know diamond isn't helped by having

a very small pool of players to pick from with only eight teams in the top division the realistically only has around sixty players available for selection of a national team for rugby is growing in popularity russia supreme oh says this could look further afield for potential new starts there's no real amateur sport in the country everything is about playing for money so. the way it goes need to be able to select from of the sports humble basketball if they're going that route i sucky then potentially not good. and they can come to rugby because ruby is one of those sports where of lowell's attributes of those of the sports are in involved they want sports center it would take a miracle for russia to win the rugby world cup just getting out of the group will be a massive achievement in itself and diamond says it's important to keep his sights hopes in perspective it's all about competing for the world cup it sounds a little bit of a get out but you got to be a realist and i presume to three different stores and i understand the level of

play i played and coached adam's the level of being now. we can challenge america definitely. and we can definitely challenge you to lead. in attack that after work i'm not suggesting we can be italy by many points but we'll be looking at being pragmatic imbibing great defense keeping the school to within thirty points against italy russia scored will soon set off a new zealand what diamond sends will be a very tough training camp and safer place don't know what they're in for but if it helps the country pull off a surprise or two in september to fountain eleven then it will have been certainly were. fits what we don't see most going to. and also in rio de janeiro good to be in the laying of the foundation stone of the twenty sixteen olympic village where the construction of that is set to cost around one point five billion dollars due to begin in february next year we come to bring you with the great experience and

wealth of knowledge that lies in the olympic games and that we have accumulated over the different games and want to transfer to you to us to help us much as possible these are joven today i'm a very happy man that is very proud because the preparation of video twenty six you gave how going extremely well and that's all from al you can watch some of those stories of our you tube channel which is r t sports news and coming up shortly as the weather. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
