Re: 米爾札正式復出，並替WTA寫本週的BLOG
同樣是遲來的日記，
Sania與金久慈打進雙打四強。
Sania在這篇提到她不喜歡搶十制度，
還有她的favorite bad meal :p
Thursday, May 18, 2007
Hello again everyone,
Today, Vania and I played a good match and beat Llagostera Vives and Parra
Santonja, 10-5 in the super tie-break. They were very tough on clay;
Llagostera Vives has been a Top 40 player in the past and is very experienced
as well, so we knew we'd have a tough match. But it was also very windy and
the Sun was getting in our eyes, so it's a great one to get through in light
of the conditions. The super tie-break wasn't as nerve-racking as the one
from our first match, because we were up most of the time in this one. Vania
came up with this unbelievable return-and-volley early on, a backhand angle
volley, which I've got to mention. We were pretty even until 6-5, but then we
won four points to finish it. Even when we were winning 8-5, we wanted to be
as focused as possible because in a tie-break anything can happen - one or
two bad points and they'd be back in it, so that was an important time to
stay focused.
今天與金久慈在雙打搭檔中又打出一場好的比賽，
三盤激戰後在第三盤搶七以10-5取得勝利晉級四強。
Sania說對手在紅土上實力很強，所以早就預料會是場惡戰。
加上當天風大太陽也大，所以能夠獲勝真的很高興。
這場打搶十時沒第一場時緊張，也許是因為他們一直都佔上風。
她提到金久慈在搶十時打出了很棒的一球，而即使當她們在搶十領先時仍十分專注，
因為在tie-break下什麼事情都可能發生。
I've already mentioned this week I take doubles very seriously, but I must
say personally, I am not the biggest fan of the super tie-break system. I
don't mind the no-ad rule we're using - it makes the sets a bit shorter and
less predictable. But the super tie-break I don't like too much. I just don't
think there is any reason to have it. But we are the players and we have to
follow the rule changes. And my super tie-break record is good so far - 2-0
this week - so touch wood!
Sania之前已提到她這週很認真的看待雙打比賽，
但她坦白說她不喜歡搶十制度，
她認為在deuce後沒有advantage還可以接受，因為這讓每一盤時間變短也較難預測，
但她想不到有什麼理由使用搶十，
但她只是球員只好接受規則的改變，而且她至今搶十紀錄還是兩連勝。:p
Before that I had another pretty relaxed day. A late breakfast at about
9/930am then went to do some work in the gym, and to the courts at about
1030am. We hit at around 11am for 45 minutes or so then grabbed something
quick to eat. Before the match we re-taped my knee... it was actually hurting
a little bit today, which is something you have to expect when you're sliding
a lot on the clay. Then it was time for the match! We were the first on at
around 1pm and we were done around 230pm. After the match, I warmed Neha
Uberoi up for her match for around 20 or 30 minutes, then got lunch, did more
work in the gym, went for a swim... then did some hyrdotherapy, which is
water exercises basically.
在雙打比賽前今天過得還蠻輕鬆的，
吃早餐、重訓、拉球、然後匆忙吃點午餐。
在比賽前再次包紮膝蓋，今天的確有一點傷到，
多少是因為在紅土場上大量滑步的關係。
比賽後替Neha Uberoi暖身，然後再吃點東西、重訓再接受水療。
After that it was time for dinner - and we found an Italian restaurant! It's
good that it was only a few hundred meters away from the hotel, because all
of the roads around the hotel were closed after 5 o'clock for the king. I
think he came to the hotel today. There were about 15 or 20 Mercedes parked
outside of the hotel. I haven't seen him but I'm guessing he's here!
晚餐去了一家義大利餐廳，從飯店大概走幾百米就到了。
Sania說飯店附近的路，因為國王要來的關係，在五點後都被封鎖了，
她猜國王有來她住的飯店，不過她只是猜，因為她沒看到國王。XDD
When you're in Europe, you eat so much bread. Well, we're not really in
Europe, but I mean from the Italian restaurant. I like Italian food. I ate a
very non-tennis meal tonight. I had pizza for the first time in a while,
along with a salad. Today was a one-off day for eating like that. I usually
eat really well, but usually I'll have one "bad meal" the day I lose a match
at a tournament. But since I didn't have one on Tuesday night after I lost my
singles match, I had it tonight! My favorite bad meal is McDonald's... I just
love the Big Mac. I'm not a big fan of fries unless I'm very hungry; I'm not
a potato fan. But it's only once in a while...
談到今晚在那家義大利餐廳吃了一頓很不"網球員"的晚餐，
她吃了沙拉和pizza，她說通常很久才讓自己放縱一次。:p
她平常都吃得很規律，不過通常輸球後，
就會讓自己品嚐一頓bad meal！（這個用原文較貼切XDDD）
不過因為週二單打輸球後沒吃到什麼，所以選擇在今晚放縱一下。
她說她最愛的bad meal其實是麥當勞，她很愛Big Mac XDDDDDDD。
Just now I was downstairs trying to get on the internet but of course my
computer was not working. So I was chatting with Vania, and checking some
e-mail on her computer. She's been on her computer all evening! She was there
when we left for dinner and when we came back, and after I went up to the
room I went back down and she was still there! The tennis player's life can
get pretty lonely when you are in a place where you have run out of things to
do. She was telling me her most entertaining outing so far this week was
going to the grocery store three days ago! She was just chatting with her
friends online... anyway I was there for a while and we had a nice chat -
nothing about tennis really!
下樓想上網，但電腦怪怪的。
所以在那邊跟金久慈聊天，也借了她的電腦來收電郵，
Sania說金久慈整晚都在用電腦呢。
還說有時候當網球員真的很孤單，
尤其當你在這個城市已經找不到什麼可以幹的時候。
她們還聊了一下，不過都與網球無關！XDDD
Being in the doubles semifinals my first tournament back is great for
confidence. When you come back from injury it's good to play as many matches
as possible, and the more you win, obviously the more matches you're playing.
When you come back you're not exactly the most confident with movement and
finishing off points, as well as winning critical points, so obviously it's
great to have a few wins under my belt here. It'll definitely help me in the
coming weeks.
在復出後的第一項雙打賽事即打進四強確實能建立她的信心。
她說剛傷癒復出，能打越多比賽越好。
因為剛復出時通常信心不夠、還有在關鍵時刻把握不住機會，
所以能多贏幾場比賽對她未來幾週實在增強了不少信心。
I'm hitting at 11am with Vania; we'll practice some singles then some doubles
also. We'll warm up a little bit right before the match as well but the
earliest we'll play is 4pm so we are not sure when yet. Milly and Cammy are
playing their singles quarterfinal at 230pm then our doubles match against
them is not before 4pm but after suitable rest. I've known Milly for a few
years now - she's one of the nicest players out there. Cammy too. Milly's
coach Larry and I are pretty friendly as well. He's a really nice gentleman!
Both of them are very good clay courters, just like our opponents from today;
it's going to be another interesting match because Vania and I are both very
aggressive. I'm looking forward to it.
明天最早都要四點才比賽，
因為雙打對手的單打比賽在兩點半才開始，
所以要等他們比賽結束再休息足夠才能開打雙打賽。
然後她也預期明天會是一場有趣的比賽。
Until tomorrow!
Sania
