German tennis player Mona Bartel, who is a participant in the Australian Open-2017, gave an interview and talked about her health problems, in particular, about the illness, against which she had to miss an impressive part of the playing season. The girl also spoke in detail about the symptoms of the disease and noted that the doctors could not make a diagnosis for a long time.

“It was very difficult for me, because the doctors who worked with me for a long time could not understand what kind of disease it was. The first unpleasant sensations took me by surprise after returning home from Australia. I had absolutely no strength, I could not do anything it was incredibly difficult for me to do and even walk a hundred meters on my own two feet. This situation scared me a lot, I was afraid and didn’t know what was happening to me. Naturally, I didn’t think about any tennis at that time, wanting only to return to my usual life ", - said the German.

Barthel added that the recovery took quite a long time, noting that in this moment she does not complain about her health.

“It was also difficult because I had to recover for a long time. At the same time, I did not train at all during this time. For the first time I was able to pick up a racket again only in December. And, of course, I lost my physical shape. , my level is closer to optimal. I was not at all fit for competitions before. I must say that it’s not bad physical form helps me a lot with psychological point vision. And now I know for sure that a long fight is too tough for me," the tennis player continued.

But the German woman is a little worried that the disease may return. Moreover, she claims that doctors have not been able to make a final diagnosis, limiting themselves to a presumptive one.

"Sometimes I feel nervous. This happens because I could not understand what happened to me, and the disease may return. Before, being on the playground, I did not trust my body and did not know exactly if I could hold out until the end of the confrontation. But at the moment I feel much better. And I am pleased to realize that the worst is left behind, "said the athlete.

The German did not forget to tell about her next rival Venus Williams from the USA, with whom she will cross rackets in the 1/8 finals Open Championship Australia.

“Venus is a legendary tennis player. She can always catch her game, she is capable of the most incredible things on the court. But do not forget that I have already won six fights in a row, so you can expect everything from our fight,” Bartel summed up the conversation with the media .

German tennis player Mona Barthel was born in 1990 in Bad Segenberg. Her father was also involved in athletics in his youth and distinguished himself in several competitions. First, the eldest daughter began to play professionally in their family, and little Mona Barthel, impressed by her game, at the age of three also picked up a racket.

For the first time, the German tennis player took part in the tournament under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation in 2007. Then she managed to reach only the quarter finals.

The first victory in the tournament of the International Tennis Federation came to the German tennis player only in 2010.

In total, Mona Bartel has six such titles, five of which she won alone. The German tennis player distinguished herself at the tournaments of the Women's Tennis Association, where she won twice in singles and one, playing in pairs.

Notes

Excerpt characterizing Barthel, Mona

Kochubey, smiling, shook his head, as if surprised at the naivety of Bolkonsky.
“We talked about you the other day,” Kochubey continued, “about your free ploughmen…
- Yes, it was you, prince, who let your men go? - said Catherine's old man, contemptuously turning to Bolkonsky.
- The small estate did not bring income, - answered Bolkonsky, so as not to irritate the old man in vain, trying to soften his act before him.
- Vous craignez d "etre en retard, [Afraid to be late,] - said the old man, looking at Kochubey.
“I don’t understand one thing,” the old man continued, “who will plow the land, if they are given freedom? It is easy to write laws, but difficult to manage. It's all the same as it is now, I ask you, count, who will be the head of the chambers, when will everyone have their exams?
“Those who will pass the exams, I think,” answered Kochubey, crossing his legs and looking around.
- Here Pryanichnikov serves me, a nice man, a gold man, and he is 60 years old, will he go to exams? ...
“Yes, it’s difficult, since education is very little widespread, but ...” Count Kochubey did not finish, he got up and, taking Prince Andrei by the hand, went towards the incoming tall, bald, blond man, about forty, with a large open forehead and an extraordinary, strange whiteness of an oblong face. The newcomer was wearing a blue tailcoat, a cross around his neck and a star on the left side of his chest. It was Speransky. Prince Andrei immediately recognized him and something trembled in his soul, as happens at important moments in life. Whether it was respect, envy, expectation, he did not know. The whole figure of Speransky had a special type, by which one could now recognize him. In no one of the society in which Prince Andrei lived did he see this calmness and self-confidence of awkward and stupid movements, in no one did he see such a firm and at the same time soft look of half-closed and somewhat moist eyes, he did not see such a firmness of an insignificant smile , such a thin, even, quiet voice, and, most importantly, such a delicate whiteness of the face and especially the hands, somewhat wide, but unusually plump, tender and white. Prince Andrei saw such whiteness and tenderness of the face only among soldiers who had been in the hospital for a long time. It was Speransky, the state secretary, the speaker of the sovereign and his companion in Erfurt, where he met and spoke with Napoleon more than once.
Speransky did not shift his eyes from one face to another, as one involuntarily does when entering a large society, and was in no hurry to speak. He spoke quietly, with the assurance that they would listen to him, and looked only at the face with which he spoke.
Prince Andrey followed Speransky's every word and movement with particular attention. As happens with people, especially with those who strictly judge their neighbors, Prince Andrei, meeting a new person, especially one like Speransky, whom he knew by reputation, always expected to find in him the complete perfection of human virtues.
Speransky told Kochubey that he was sorry that he could not come earlier because he was detained at the palace. He did not say that the sovereign had detained him. And this affectation of modesty was noticed by Prince Andrei. When Kochubey called Prince Andrei to him, Speransky slowly turned his eyes to Bolkonsky with the same smile and silently began to look at him.
“I am very glad to meet you, I have heard about you, like everyone else,” he said.
Kochubey said a few words about the reception given to Bolkonsky by Arakcheev. Speransky smiled more.
“My good friend, Mr. Magnitsky, is the director of the commission of military regulations,” he said, finishing every syllable and every word, “and if you wish, I can put you in touch with him. (He paused at the point.) I hope you find in him sympathy and a desire to promote all that is reasonable.
A circle immediately formed around Speransky, and the old man who had been talking about his official, Pryanichnikov, also turned to Speransky with a question.
Prince Andrei, without entering into a conversation, observed all the movements of Speransky, this man, recently an insignificant seminarian and now in his hands - these white, plump hands, who had the fate of Russia, as Bolkonsky thought. Prince Andrei was struck by the extraordinary, contemptuous calmness with which Speransky answered the old man. He seemed to address him with his condescending word from an immeasurable height. When the old man began to speak too loudly, Speransky smiled and said that he could not judge the advantage or disadvantage of whatever the sovereign wanted.
After talking for some time in a general circle, Speransky got up and, going up to Prince Andrei, took him with him to the other end of the room. It was evident that he considered it necessary to deal with Bolkonsky.
“I didn’t have time to talk with you, prince, in the midst of that animated conversation in which this venerable old man was involved,” he said, smiling meekly contemptuously and with this smile, as if acknowledging that he, together with Prince Andrei, understands the insignificance of those people with whom he just spoke. This appeal flattered Prince Andrei. - I have known you for a long time: firstly, in your case about your peasants, this is our first example, to which it would be so desirable to have more followers; and secondly, because you are one of those chamberlains who did not consider themselves offended by the new decree on court ranks, causing such rumors and gossip.
- Yes, - said Prince Andrei, - my father did not want me to use this right; I started my service from the lower ranks.
- Your father, a man of the old age, obviously stands above our contemporaries, who so condemn this measure, which restores only natural justice.
“I think, however, that there is a basis in these condemnations ...” said Prince Andrei, trying to fight the influence of Speransky, which he began to feel. It was unpleasant for him to agree with him in everything: he wanted to contradict. Prince Andrei, who usually spoke easily and well, now felt difficulty in expressing himself when speaking with Speransky. He was too busy observing the personality of a famous person.
“There may be grounds for personal ambition,” Speransky quietly put in his word.
“Partly for the state,” said Prince Andrei.
- How do you understand? ... - Speransky said, quietly lowering his eyes.
“I am an admirer of Montesquieu,” said Prince Andrei. - And his idea that le principe des monarchies est l "honneur, me parait incontestable. Certains droits et privileges de la noblesse me paraissent etre des moyens de soutenir ce sentiment. [the basis of monarchies is honor, it seems to me undoubted. Some rights and the privileges of the nobility seem to me to be the means of sustaining this feeling.]
The smile disappeared from Speransky's white face, and his countenance benefited greatly from this. Probably the thought of Prince Andrei seemed entertaining to him.
“Si vous envisagez la question sous ce point de vue, [If you look at the subject like that],” he began, speaking French with obvious difficulty and speaking even more slowly than Russian, but perfectly calm. He said that honor, l "honneur, cannot be supported by advantages harmful to the course of service, that honor, l" honneur, is either: a negative concept of not doing reprehensible acts, or a well-known source of competition for obtaining approval and awards expressing it.
His arguments were concise, simple and clear.
The institution that maintains this honor, the source of competition, is an institution similar to the Legion d "honneur [Order of the Legion of Honor] of the great Emperor Napoleon, which does not harm, but contributes to the success of the service, and not class or court advantage.
“I do not argue, but it cannot be denied that the advantage of the court achieved the same goal,” said Prince Andrei: “every courtier considers himself obliged to adequately bear his position.
