http://www.wimbledon.com/heritage/history/legends/serena-williams Serena Williams Singles: 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010 Doubles: 2000, 2002, 2008, 2009 Mixed Doubles: 1998 Alexandra Willis Serena Williams, the most dominant female player of the past decade, has not always been every tennis fan's cup of tea. We’re so used to her imposing physique, her nothing-to-something story, her celebrity antics, her dramatic absences and reappearances, and her less-than-sensible statements, that it’s almost become old hat. Which is a shame, because it makes us forget how unique she is. But there’s no escaping the fact that she is an extraordinary anomaly: A decade-long winner in a sport where longevity has gone the way of wooden rackets and white balls. Serena Williams是過去十年中最具主宰力的選手並非所有網球迷都喜愛他我們已經習慣了他那超乎常人的身體素質他從一無所有到家喻戶曉的故事他那對成為社交名媛誇張的賣弄他戲劇化的起起伏伏生涯他那些非比尋常的宣言這些簡直成為了他的老把戲實在很可惜因為這使我們遺忘了他有多麼獨一無二有一個無法否認得事情是: 他是一位異於常人的冠軍現今在生涯長度逐漸縮短的時代他卻可以保持勝利姿態達十年之久 The younger of the two Williams sisters, who famously entered her first professional tournament without her father knowing bceause he didn't feel she was ready, made her first impact at Wimbledon in 1998, winning the mixed doubles title alongside Max Mirnyi. Few could imagine what she would go on to achieve. Missing the 1999 tournament because of injury, in 2000 Serena swept all the way to the semi-finals, only to fall foul of her sister Venus. In 2001, Jennifer Capriati was her conqueror, this time in the quarter-finals. Serena seemed to be going backwards. 這位威廉絲兩姐妹中的妹妹未經過爸爸的同意就參加了生涯第一項賽事儘管當時他的爸爸認為他還沒準備好但他早在1998就第一次衝擊了溫網率先與Max Mirnyi搭檔拿下了混雙冠軍很少人當時猜的到他隨之而來會有多少輝煌成就儘管在1999年因傷錯過溫網但2000年捲土重來的Serena一路橫掃至四強最後輸給了他的姐姐Venus 而2001年Jennifer Capriati成為了他的剋星在八強就讓Serena打道回府 But all that changed in 2002. Arriving at Wimbledon on the back of her second Grand Slam title, at the French Open, Serena came past first Amelie Mauresmo and then sister Venus, winning the title without dropping a set. Taking the world No.1 ranking, she went on to complete 'the Serena Slam' - holding all four Grand Slam titles at once, the first player to do so since Steffi Graf in 1988.. It is an achievement that has not been repeated since. 但所有事情都在2002改變了抵達溫布頓前他剛剛在法網拿下了生涯第二座大滿貫冠軍在溫網他接連打敗了Amelie Mauresmo與姐姐Venus 未失一盤拿下冠軍並且奪得世界第一寶座隨之完成了他的"Serena Slam" 手握連續四座大滿貫錦標是繼Steffi Graf在1988年的創舉後的第一位而至今這項成就都沒有再被任何人完成過 Having won Wimbledon again in 2003, Serena suffered a surprise loss to Maria Sharpova in the 2004 final, lost in the third round to Jill Craybas in 2005, and missed the 2006 tournament entirely. With rumours swirling about her absence from the game, Serena entered the 2007 Australian Open ranked just 81 in the world, and pulled off one of the performances of her career to win the title. Although her success in Melbourne did not translate to Wimbledon, exiting the tournament at the hands of Justine Henin, the following three years saw the Williams sisters reclaim their hold on the Venus Rosewater Dish. A finalist in 2008, Serena won back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010. 奪下2003年的溫網後在2004年決賽中他意外輸給了Maria Sharapova 而在2005年第三輪遭Jill Craybas淘汰 2006年的賽事也因傷退賽他即將退役的流言四處流竄但在2007澳網僅以排名81的身分參賽的Serena 以跌破大家眼鏡的表現拿下了當年賽事儘管他的勝利並未從墨爾本延伸到溫布頓在那年的溫網輸給了Justine Henin 但隨後威廉絲姐妹包辦了三屆溫網牢牢將Venus Rosewater Dish把持在手中在2008拿下亞軍後 Serena在2009及2010再度接連拿下冠軍 Not only that, the younger Williams is also a tremendous doubles player. She and sister Venus have completed a career Slam of the four Major doubles titles, winning the Wimbledon ladies doubles on four occasions, when every time, one or other of the sisters had won the singles trophy earlier in the day. 不僅如此這位威廉絲家的妹妹還是一個出眾的雙打選手他與他的姐姐Venus連手達成了生涯大滿貫拿下所有四大滿貫錦標並且四度拿下溫網雙打冠軍每次當他們拿下雙打冠軍時稍早也都一併包辦了單打冠軍 There is no doubt that Serena is intimidating. When she gets that banshee wail going, double-fisting left, right and centre from all corners of the court, hooped earrings flying all over the place, most of today’s opponents simply stop and stare. And you can’t blame them. But reputation alone does not make you a world-beater. Nor does talent. No matter how well Serena wallops the ball, she has beaten far more talented ball-strikers than herself. And for that, she has to thank her approach to the sport. Serena令人望而生畏的事實是無可質疑的當他以鬼哭神號的狀態登場雙拳緊握戴著他的耳環滿場奔跑大多數對手都只能望而卻步你無法責備他們但別忘了僅僅靠著名聲是無法擊敗全世界的僅靠天分也不行不管Serena打得如何他仍然打敗了許多比他更有天份的球員今天能取得一切成就他得感謝他對網球運動的投入 Half the battle in tennis is staying healthy, but staying interested is most of the rest. The Williams sisters, first Venus, and then Serena, have always played sparingly, which lent them a certain mystique long before they were champions. Everyone knew about the Williams sisters, they just didn’t know what made them tick. Since then Serena and (to a lesser extent) Venus, have picked and chosen when to be immersed and when to step back. Few athletes have the self-assurance to do that and to handle the inevitable fallout. But Serena has it in spades. No matter how much you may like or not like her, there’s no denying that Serena has a passion for life, and a passion for tennis. That unusual ability to combine the two seems to be her secret. We wish her all the best on her road to recovery, and hope to welcome her back to The Championships to defend her title in 2011. 網球中有一半的戰爭在於保持健康而保持熱情則幾乎是所有威廉絲姐妹首先是Venus 然後是Serena 都對參賽有一定的限制也因此在他們成為冠軍前他們得以保持一定的神秘性每個人都知道威廉絲姐妹的稱號卻對他們所知不多隨後Serena與Venus都接連登上網壇高峰甚少運動員對自己有當上冠軍的保證能力以及處理難以避免的低潮但Serena就是箇中能手不管你有多喜歡他或是多不喜歡他都無法否認他對生活的熱情以及對網球的熱情而他成功的秘訣似乎就是結合這兩者我們希望他的恢復健康之路順利並且也歡迎他在2011年回來衛冕他的寶座 -- 冰河期有完結篇寒武紀從王菲聽來地球要是可以請帶走我的安全感狂歡都是極短篇回收了酒瓶才明白總會有一首歌唱清楚你的方向感 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.33.42.95
