Sania Mirza's Delhi dream came crashing down on Saturday when she lost 6-3,
2-6, 7-6 (7/3) to Anastasia Rodionova of Australia in the Commonwealth Games
final.
The Indian glamour girl had been bent on becoming the first Commonwealth
Games tennis champion in front of her adoring home fans, but she met her
match in top seeded Rodionova.
As in the semi-final, Mirza clawed her way back from losing the first set and
she stood a break up at 2-1 in the decider before the Russian-born Rodionova
broke back to level.
印度選手Sania Mirza在星期六的大英國協運動會決賽，以6-3 2-6 7-6(3)敗給
澳洲選手Anastasia Rodionova，奪冠夢碎。
這位迷人的印度女孩，一直嚮往能在自家支持者面前，成為運動會的首位冠軍，
但她遭遇到本次賽事的第一種子Rodionova。
在準決賽Mirza輸掉第一盤後，為自己找回了條生路，苦戰三盤逆轉成功，同時
稍晚俄國裔選手Rodionova也逆轉晉級決賽。
The Australian served for the match at 5-3 but was broken to 30 with the
crowd wildly cheering on her every fault.
Mirza saved a match point in the following game before levelling the scores
and taking the final into a dramatic tie-break.
Rodionova led from the start in that and the stadium went silent when Mirza
double-faulted on the fourth match point against her.
澳大利亞人在決賽中，以5-3的比數進行賽末發球，但周邊觀眾卻在此時為她的
每個失誤鼓譟慶幸，使她受到影響比數被追回到30-40。
Mirza在追平比數前，在接下來的局數救了一個賽末點，並戲劇性地將決勝盤帶
入了搶七對決。
Rodionova在搶七局一開始便取得領先，直到Mirza在對手的第四個賽末點發出
雙誤，當時全場一片寂靜。
The Australian, who left her home country in 2005 and who was cleared to play
for Australia only in December last year said that she saw her victory here
as a consecration of her decision to change nationalities.
"It's great to be part of the Australian team. It's the first gold medal in
tennis, I'm happy to do Australia proud. It feels like its one of the biggest
achievements of my career," she said.
"Sania is a great player. I knew I had to play my best. It was a good quality
match and it's a great feeling to be part of a great final."
自從這位澳籍選手在2005年離開俄國後，在去年11月開始以澳洲人的身分參加
比賽，她說在此地，她能看見自己在網球界勝利的契機，於是慎重地決定改變
國籍。
她說，"能成為澳洲隊的一員感覺很棒。這是我第一個在網壇奪取的金牌，我很
開心自己能為澳大利亞爭取榮耀。就好像是我職涯的最大成就一樣。"
"Sania是位很棒的球員，我知道自己必須發揮到最佳狀態，這是場有質感的比賽
，能參與這麼偉大的決賽，我非常高興。"
A downcast Mirza said she had done as much as she could to deliver a home win.
"I think what's important is that I gave my best," she said. "Unfortunately I
fell a bit short. It's an honour for me to be playing for my country."
Also claiming gold in the men's doubles were Peter Luczak and Paul Hanley,
who scored a three set victory over English pair Ross Hutchins and Skupski
6-4 3-6 6-3. Sally Peers took out the women's bronze medal in singles over
Olivia Rogowska and will team with Rodionova for the women's doubles gold
medal against Jess Moore and Olivia Rogowska.
Sydney's Greg Jones is yet to play his singles final in the men's gold medal
match against Somdev Devvarman.
另一邊，沮喪的Mirza表示，她已經盡其所能的為家鄉爭取勝利。
她說，"我認為最重要的是，我打出我最好的狀態，不幸地，我還是差了那麼一點，
但能為我的國家奮鬥，我感到非常光榮。"
澳洲隊男雙部分，Peter Luczak和Paul Hanley也奪得了金牌而歸，以6-4 3-6 6-3
的比數，征服了英國隊搭檔Ross Hutchins和Skupski。
而Sally Peers與同胞選手Olivia Rogowska激戰後，奪下了女單銅牌。
(女雙部分已在稍早宣布由Rodionova和Sally Peers贏得金牌。)
男單決賽，則由雪梨人Greg Jones出戰印度選手Somdev Devvarman。
