褲子娃成為第三位拿到年終賽資格的選手今年雖然跌跌撞撞之前也有受傷還是連兩年都進年終賽 http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/1/newsroom/stories/?ContentID=1679 Kuznetsova Headed to Madrid NEW YORK, NY, USA - Svetlana Kuznetsova, one of four women remaining in contention for the 2007 US Open singles title, is the third player to qualify for the singles event at the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships, set to take place in Madrid's Recinto Ferial Casa De Campo, November 6-11, 2007. By reaching the semifinals of the US Open, Kuznetsova has moved up to No.3 on the Race to the Sony Ericsson Championships Singles Standings with 2996 points, just behind Justine Henin and Jelena Jankovic, who qualified four weeks ago. For Kuznetsova, currently ranked No.4 and projected to rise to a new career-high ranking of No.2 after the US Open on September 10, this marks the third time in her career she has qualified for the prestigious year-ending event, also doing so in 2004 and last year. "Qualifying for the Sony Ericsson Championships was one of the main goals I set myself for this season," the 22-year-old said. "It's an honor for every player to make it to the best eight and I'm happy I have done it again this year. Playing in Spain is always very special for me. I have a lot of friends who come and watch me and have lived there now for many years, so I consider it a second home." "Svetlana has had an impressive season, winning her ninth career Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles title recently at the Pilot Pen in New Haven and advancing to the semifinals here in New York," said Larry Scott, Chairman & CEO of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. "Her qualification for the Sony Ericsson Championships is testament to her tenacity and determination as a player and as a person. The singles field for the Championships is already looking formidable and we can all expect to see the very best of women's tennis come November." "As well as featuring the world's very best players battling for the honor of being end-of-season champion, this year's Sony Ericsson Championships in Madrid will be one of the most entertaining and fan-based events that women's tennis has ever experienced," said Dee Dutta, CVP and Head of Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "The Sony Ericsson Championships is all about being the very best and promises to be even more exciting and passionate in 2007." "We are thrilled to have Svetlana back in Madrid," commented Manolo Santana, Tournament Director for the Sony Ericsson Championships. "She is a great player and her connection with Spain is clear as she lives and practices in Barcelona at the Sa'nchez-Casal Academy. We look forward to watching her play here." Kuznetsova won her first Grand Slam title at the US Open at the age of 19 in 2004. To date she has won over $7 million in career prize money and nine Tour singles titles. She is the only woman to have beaten Justine Henin more than once while the Belgian has held the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour world No.1 singles ranking. In 2007, she has been a quarterfinalist or better in 12 of her 15 events thus far. Her season highlights include winning the Tier II title in New Haven two weeks ago and runner-up finishes at Doha, Indian Wells, Berlin and Rome. The Sony Ericsson Championships is the richest annual women's sporting event in the world. The tournament is the year-ending punctuation to an 11-month global Tour which finally gathers the Top 8 singles players and Top 4 doubles teams from the season to battle it out for a share of the $3-million prize purse. Since its inception in 1972, the event has been held in such notable venues as Madison Square Garden, New York, the Olympiahalle in Munich and The Forum and Staples Centre in Los Angeles. Former singles champions include Tracy Austin, Kim Clijsters, Chris Evert, Evonne Goolagong, Steffi Graf, Martina Hingis, Martina Navratilova, Gabriela Sabatini and Serena Williams. The reigning champions are Henin (singles) and Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur (doubles). -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.74.229.195
