Sam’s lucky charm Months of preparation by her coach helped an out-of-sorts Sam Stosur storm into the US Open final. But Stosur revealed on Saturday a last minute “lucky charm” from mentor David Taylor was the surprise inspiration behind her breakthrough grand slam win in New York. Together for almost four years, Stosur thought she knew everything about Taylor. But the man who had become more of a friend than a coach produced something unexpected on the drive to a daunting US Open final showdown with 13-time grand slam champion Serena Williams. 經過幾個月的準備，Sam的教練Dave，幫助煩惱的Sam闖入美網決賽。但本周六Sam揭露，踏上賽場的最後一刻，收到教練給她的一個幸運物，這項幸運物也對她起了鼓舞作用，進而奪下美網冠軍。 Sam與他的教練一起合作快四年了，她覺得自己非常了解他，而Dave的身分，比起教練，更像一位朋友，在前進到美網決賽，面對一致性看好13 屆大滿貫冠軍小威奪冠的聲勢當中，他給Sam製造了一些的驚喜。 “He spoke about the match but then he gave me a good luck charm which he never, ever does – he gave me a little yellow New York taxi toy car,” Stosur said after arriving in Brisbane on Saturday. “He had written something on it – ‘I play like I must’. “That’s one phrase he always tries to repeat to me. “It means in pressure moments, you have to play like you must, not how you feel. “I took it (toy car) in my bag during the match – I might put it with the replica (US Open) trophy when I finally get it.” Sam在週六一抵達布里斯本，便向記者透露， " 他和我討論這場決賽，然後，他給了我一個幸運物，他從來沒這樣做過，那是一輛紐約計程車樣式的小玩具車。 " " 他還在上面寫了些東西 - 照自己應該要的樣子打球。 " " 這句話的意思是，在壓力席捲而來時，你必須打出你要的樣子，而不是你所感覺到的。 " " 我帶著這隻玩具車上場，在比賽中，讓它待在我的球袋裡，等到我拿到冠軍獎盃 " 我會把它們倆放在一起。 " Taylor always had Stosur’s back – but the unexpected gift seemed to ram home the faith he had in a charge who had taken longer than expected to regroup from an upset 2010 French Open final loss to Italy’s Francesca Schiavone. Despite becoming the first Australian woman to win a grand slam in 31 years, Stosur was unsure whether she would travel with her new lucky charm even with the Australian Open in sight. Sam的教練David Taylor，總是在背後支持著她，而這個驚喜的小禮物，似乎被灌輸進一項信念，那也是Dave花了很多時間，想驅散Sam在去年法網決賽，爆冷輸給義大利選手夏鳳的陰霾。儘管成為31年來，首位澳大利亞人奪得大滿貫的女球員， Sam仍猶豫著要不要帶這個幸運飾品去征戰澳網。 “I don’t know if I will carry it around with me or leave it for that special day that we had – I will definitely keep it forever,” she told AAP. Not that Stosur doesn’t have big plans for the 2012 Australian Open. Indeed, as much as Stosur cherished her US Open breakthrough, the Gold Coast product believed an Australian Open triumph would top it all. 她說，" 我還不知道會不會一直把它帶在身邊，或者，就當它是紀念我們美網奪冠這特別的一天，不過，我一定會永遠留著它。 " 不是Sam對征戰2012澳網沒有嚮往，的確，就算她沉浸在奪得美網的喜悅中，這位來自Gold Coast的澳洲人，也相信奪得澳網的金盃才是最重要的。 “Winning a grand slam is unbelievable but, if it was ever to be an Australian Open, that would be something else,” she said. “It is probably the most special grand slam I could possibly win so, if that does happen, that would make the top of my career. “Hopefully, I can ride this wave of confidence and belief into January. “The first grand slam for anyone is very special – but to be Australian and win the Australian Open would be massive. That’s the next dream.” " 成為大滿貫冠軍是很不可思議的，但要是這座冠軍是澳網，就具有非凡意義。 " " 希望我能乘著自信和信念的浪頭進入一月份，第一座大滿貫冠軍對任何選手來說，都是非常特別的，但身為澳大利亞人，去贏得澳網更有意義。這也是我下一個夢想。" Of the Australian Open expectation, Stosur said: “It is different going into the Aussie Open compared to the others – there has been a bit of expectation in previous years but next year it will be much bigger than it ever has been. “Hopefully, I can handle that – I think all these experiences will allow me to handle it as best I can. “Not too many win a grand slam in their home country – there’s probably a reason for that. “But I would love to break that mould.” 肩負著成為澳網女單冠軍的期待，Sam表示， " 在澳網比賽，和其他大滿貫是不一樣的，前幾年，在澳洲這裡對我是有一點期待，" 但明年的壓力，一定會更勝以往。 " " 希望到時候我能應付好，我想所有我所經歷過的，讓我有能力做到最好。 " " 我想其中一個原因是，沒有很多選手能奪得自己家鄉的大滿貫冠軍，但我會很樂意打破這個雛形。 " Buzzing from congratulatory texts and emails from Aussie tennis greats Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Margaret Court Smith, Stosur will “have a bit of a party ” with family and friends before preparing for this month’s Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. 澳大利亞網球傳奇Evonne Goolagong Cawley和Margaret Court Smith，紛紛給Sam致上賀詞，而Sam在征戰東京泛太平洋女網賽前，會跟家人朋友來點派對活動。 ----- 壓力來得好快 @@ 是說比起澳網感覺(非澳洲人的)粉絲對法網應該感觸更深反正短期內也不可能建立什麼Stosur王朝 XDD 就順其自然吧 ~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.40.102.10
