Aug 21, 2020,08:38pm EDT by Adam Zagoria https://reurl.cc/r88qMy Serena Williams Is Staying In A Rental Home for The US Open Due To Lung Issues Serena Williams is in New York for the next several weeks as she pursues her record-tying 24th Grand Slam, but she won't be living in one of the two Long Island tournament hotels like many of the other players at the U.S. Open. Instead, Williams has rented a private home in order to take precautions because of her health issues. 小威為了美網準備接下來幾個星期將會住在外面的租房處，而不是長島上的兩間旅館。小威表示因為健康問題他必須採取更多預防措施在外面另行租屋。 "I want to be here, but I have genuine health issues," Williams, 38, said Friday on a Zoom call ahead of the Western & Southern Open, the U.S. Open warmup tournament in New York. "I didn't want to be in the [official player] hotel because I have lung issues and felt it was a big risk for me personally. In a house, I can control more, there's no housekeeping [staff], none of that stuff. I needed to put my mind at rest so that I could perform in New York." 我不想待在旅館的原因是因為我本身有肺部的問題，對我來說有很大的風險。在獨棟的房子內我比較能夠控制，因為沒有打掃的人，什麼都沒有。我必須要讓我的頭腦也一起休息才能夠在紐約比賽。 Williams has pre-existing health issues because she battled blood clots and life-threatening pulmonary embolisms while giving birth to her daughter Olympia in September 2017. Olympia will turn 3 during this year's Open, where Serena is attempting to tie Margaret Court with her 24th Grand Slam title. 小威之前 2017 年生小孩有被檢測出肺部血塊等對生命產生威脅的肺栓塞狀況。小孩今天美網即將三歲，而小威將要再次挑戰平考特的 24 滿貫紀錄。 Novak Djokovic, who, like Williams, is favored to win the Open, is also staying in a rental home. Djokovic and his wife Jelena contracted Covid in June, but both are now free of the virus. "With the trees and serenity, being in this kind of environment is a blessing," Djokovic told The New York Times on a Zoom call. "And I'm grateful, because I've seen the hotel where the majority of players are staying. I don't want to sound arrogant or anything like that, and I know the U.S.T.A. did their best in order to provide accommodation and organize everything and organize these bubbles so the players can actually compete and come here, but it's tough for most of the players, not being able to open their window and being in a hotel in a small room." 喬：有樹木跟寧靜，在這樣的環境中真的是舒服。我很感激，因為我已經看到了大多數選手住的酒店狀況。我不想聽起來很傲慢或類似的話，因為我知道美網賽會已經盡力提供住宿和組織這一切這些泡泡來保證大家參賽。但是對於大多數選手而言這很困難，因為他們無法在旅館內打開窗戶，還得待在小房間內。 He added Friday on a Zoom call: "Every player had an opportunity to make that investment...it's completely up to the individual." He added: "It's d finitely a luxury, and I'm grateful." 每一個人都可以投資住外面... 這是每個人自己的決定。這當然是奢侈的，我很感激。 Still, privates homes aren't for everyone. Andy Murray, who won his first major at the U.S. Open in 2012 and has career earnings of $61 million, said the cost of a rented home was "astronomical." The USTA gave players the option of having a private home, but they must also pay for round-the-clock security make sure family or entourage members don't take unnecessary risks. 當然，在外面住不是每個人都能承擔的。莫瑞在 2012 贏得了自己的第一個美網，獎金也有六千一百萬鎂，告訴記者說在外面住所要支付的開銷是天文數字。美網賽事方有提供了選手這方面的選擇，但是他們必須要支付 24 小時的私人保全來保證自己、家人跟隨行人員不會造成額外的風險。 "They have to guide you, make sure people aren't leaving, going to nightclubs and restaurants," Williams said. "I think that's good, because people might get antsy and might want to go places. I want to know where people are going. I want to make sure we are all keeping ourselves in this giant bubble. There are more people now, with 128 draws. That's a lot of people, so I like to know that everybody is staying to their word and being honest about it." 小威表示：他們必須要帶領你，保證人不會跑去夜店或者是餐廳，因為有些人可能會想要亂跑。大家都想知道每個人每天去了哪裡，畢竟這個泡泡如此龐大，有 128 個籤位，對我來說知道大家都很誠實地待在自己該在的地方是很重要的。 Serena announced on June 17 that she would play the U.S. Open, but admitted she had concerns that the two New York tournaments would even happen. More than 176,000 Americans have so far died from the pandemic. 小威 6/17 宣布會參加美網，至今已有 176,000 美國人死亡，他當初也有一些顧忌。 "There was definitely a point where, in the beginning, I was, like, 'There is no way these tournaments can even happen,'" she said. "But I had a lot of great talks with several people at the USTA and the protocols they have are so intense, it definitely helps me to feel safe. I see every day they are following through on those protocols." 當然一開始的時候我也有想過依照向現在情況可能比賽無法進行，但是我有跟賽事方許多人討論過，我覺得他們所遵行的健康管理辦法非常的嚴格，這些令我感到安全。我每天都在看他們嚴格執行這些規則。 "Obviously, it goes bigger than the USTA. The government has to be involved and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at some level, so that also makes me feel a lot better." As for the Open itself, only four of the Top-10 women in the world are playing the event, with notables like world No. 1 Ash Barty, No. 2 Simona Halep and No. 6 Bianca Andreescu, who beat Serena in last year's final, opting to skip it. 當然這不是只有賽事方可以完成的，政府跟疾病管制局也有介入，這也讓我感到安心。那就美網比賽來說，今年前十只有四位女選手來參賽。排名第一的巴蒂、第二的哈勒普、去年冠軍擊敗小威的第六的安德勒斯庫都選擇不參賽。 Still, Serena doesn't feel that cheapens the ladies' draw or would lessen the significance of a title. "It still has to be tennis that's played, asterisks or not," Williams said. 但這對小威而言，他不覺得今年的女子籤表會造成這場大滿貫的重要性失焦。小威：網球還是得打，無論是否有個星號。 "I think this whole year deserves an asterisk, because it's such a special year, history we have never been through in this world, to be honest, not this generation, not this lifetime. It's just in history, period." "So I think we are living a future history lesson. So I think regardless, there is always going to be some asterisk by it, because it's never been done before. And if you win, it was, like, wow, I was able to win in this crazy circumstance where there was no fans. It was just so sterile and weird but I mentally came through. It might be a more mental test than anything.” 我覺得這一整年都是個星號，因為這真的是一個非常特別的一年。坦白說是一個我們從未經歷過的世界歷史，不光只是這一生或這一代人能理解的。他將是歷史，就這樣。所以我們正生活在一個未來的歷史教學中。所以無論如何，怎麼做都可能會有問題產生，因為之前從未碰過，也不知道該怎麼做才正確。那如果你贏了，那真的是太棒了，我能夠在這種狀況下贏球，連一個粉絲都沒有。這是如此的奇特及乾淨無菌的，但能贏的話我想我應該心魔也過關了吧。這次的比賽肯定比以往來說有更多心理層面的測試。 -- 莫瑞說自己負擔不起... 是說租一個月應該是要十幾萬吧，畢竟還要雇傭私人保全。這應該是小威最有機會再拿一次大滿貫冠軍的時機點了，一堆都沒來。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.120.180.157 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Tennis/M.1598163905.A.029.html
