V in female tennis was this year at once some strange stories of return to round after heavy injuries and diseases – Rybarikova Magdalena, Sloan Stephens, Petra Kvitova, Kaya Kanepi and many others. In this list it is safely possible to add the Russian Kleybanova Alisa which any more for the first time returned to tennis.

B 2012 the Russian won against Hodzhkin's illness. Then it was waited by new test – injuries of a knee and a foot. In the summer the 2017th Kleybanova Alisa again returned on court and started speaking not bad at small tournaments of International federation of tennis. And on competition "Public joint-stock company "Bank VTB" Kremlin Cup" to it provided the special invitation in qualification.

Kleybanova Alisa successfully passed the two first a round. In the first it beat other Russian – Dyachenko Vitaliya, and in the second coped with the American Pera Bernarda. In fight for a place in the main grid Kleybanova Alisa will battle with Kayey Kanepi. After the second match in Moscow the Russian communicated to the correspondent of "Championship".

anything from myself I do not expect
Ya because and there is so enough tension in each match. In any match I simply try to fight for each point, to grab each opportunity which the competitor gives me.
"It is pleasant to

that everything so developed"

— Kleybanova Alisa, we congratulate on a victory. How do you feel?
— is excellent, is very glad to play houses and to that achieved a victory.

— the First court was jam-packed practically. As far as expected such support in qualification? — Actually I noticed still yesterday

— In a final round of qualification you will play

— I at all do not remember

— you after return played at competitions of International federation of tennis. How strongly the atmosphere at the competition WTA Premier differs?
— the Difference on level of competitors is notable. But at me after all experience just like that was not gone. Let I did not speak long ago at big tournaments, but in the past I played them much and on the Kremlin Cup acted much. It to me strongly helps to cope with emotions because I thought that I will be nervous here more, and I played both days very quietly and is concentrated. Thanks to it I managed to pass two matches without excess difficulties.

— And any special memories of house tournament are? — I many times here played
and in general it is my favourite tournament. Always the mass of good emotions and with parents is possible to stay at home, and they come to a match. I am very glad to be here. Besides it was unexpected "uayld-kard". So, I think that all super turned out.

— this year on "Kremlin Cup" a few other covering. How to you new courts?
— On each new tournament it is necessary to get used to a covering a little. Especially I the last time played in a hall here three years ago. Certainly, it is important to get used to a covering, lighting, the platform sizes. I try not to bother because in each meeting the same yellow ball as a result arrives. I try to think only of it. Certainly, always on different tournaments music can both play, and the rebound to be unusual, but I on it do not concentrate.

"It is heavy to

to watch other girls during a trauma"

— this year at once several tennis-players managed to return to round after heavy injuries – Sloan Stephens, Rybarikova Magdalena and many other. Someone from them inspires you?
— I came back already once, and then I had a protected rating. It was simpler because at once there was an opportunity to participate in large tournaments. Already it is not present because it burned down because I long had no opportunity to act. It turns out slightly more difficult because I should begin with the lowest tournaments to gather points and a rating. Certainly, there is a wish to keep up with girls who after a trauma come back and play "Big helmets" ( laughs ). I try not to think of it because was already many times when I thought that I will not be able to return on courts any more, but I always believed that else there is a hope. I continued to fight very much for the health, treated all injuries. For me already to play here and to take great pleasure from tennis – a great success. I do not go in cycles at all over, whether there was a good match or not, and try to go only forward. And the gathered experience of injuries and performances, it helps all the time. Every year I become more experienced and quiet player. It is simpler to me to cope with some situations, than to young players who the first time play on big court or simply yet did not accumulate experience. I try everything that occurs round me, always to use in the party. I try to be all the time on a positive.

people who write unpleasant things Come across to
, of course, but it was very rare with me. Generally the audience and fans support.

— As far as watched the events in round during restoration?
— Tried not to look at tennis especially. It was a little unpleasant that all play, and I all cannot normally be prepared for competitions in any way therefore I overshadowed it and concentrated on myself. Now, when you play competitions, slowly you join events and you learn who plays and as. It is already inevitable. It is already ready to join a calendar of competitions completely again. When injuries, it is difficult for many players to watch tennis, after all, it seems, quite recently at you looked. And now you sit with the bandaged foot or something else, as the viewer ( laughs ). It, of course, is not really pleasant, especially, when itself very much wish to return.

— Very topical issue for athletes now – negative comments on social networks. How you cope with it?
— Know, I can simply acted a little … People who write unpleasant things come across, of course, but it was very rare with me. Generally the audience and fans support, were interested much when I will return on court, but I wrote a little. Then it is heavy to promise something therefore everything was very indistinct. I try not to waste time on social networks because I had a preparation, competitions were not. When you start playing, more communication with fans turns out. Many positive messages it is very pleasant. And then besides people filled tribunes here. It was very pleasant to play before our audience, it is very grateful to all to those who came to these days off, at me was very good podderzhka.
