[美網] Sister Act II:Radwanskas on the Rise
http://tinyurl.com/3y5aut
沒想到官網新聞最多的是Radwanska姊妹，看來板名可以改成捷斯波板了XD
這一篇訪問了她們的教練也是爸爸Robert Radwanska。
今天姊姊和爸爸去看妹妹的青少女第一輪，這可能是妹妹Ula的最後一個青少女大滿貫了。
爸爸大學是學體育的，把後半生都放在訓練兩個女兒上。因為波蘭冬天很長，所以她們
都得花錢去室內場地練。她們其實到了姊姊拿下溫網青少女冠軍後，才有第一個贊助商
願意提供她們經費，但是她們還是沒有經紀人和衣服贊助商。
至於LV包包，她們回到旅館已經七點10分了，店七點就關門，所以她們只能先在旅館看電
視小小慶祝一下，等有空才會去買。

One of the freshest and most exciting newsmakers at the US Open has a sister.
And together, they have three junior singles titles in Slams.
Agnieszska Radwanska, who defeated defending champion Maria Sharapova in the
third round of the US Open on Saturday, and Urszula, the 2007 Wimbledon
girls' champion, are coached by their father Robert, and despite their
vivacious demeanors and glistening braces, tennis is a family business, and
Sunday was a work day.
Less than 24 hours after Agnieszka ousted Sharapova, Robert Radwanska was in
the stands supporting Urszula in what is likely her last junior Slam. Even
Agnieszka stopped by to watch her little sister, the No. 2 seed, close out
her opening-round match, 6-4, 6-1, before heading off to play mixed doubles.
"I hope for both, 10-year careers in top 50 or top 20,” said Robert
Radwanska. Though he won’t make bold predictions, he never doubted their
talent.
"The best way to raise children is through sports," said Mr. Radwanska, who
earned his university degree in physical education. So he sunk his life
savings into their careers – even when the long Polish winters forced them
to use indoor facilities at a cost of $100 per day in a country where the
average monthly income is $500. When the savings ran out, his father assisted.
The Radwanskas didn’t see a return in the form of a sponsor for 10 years –
when Agnieszka won the Wimbledon junior title in 2005 and signed with the
software company Prokom.
Agnieszka went on to win the 2006 French Open junior title, and her
professional success has recently enabled the family to move into a new
apartment in an upscale neighborhood back home in Krakow, Poland – one large
enough to comfortably store more than 300 trophies the girls have won in
their 18 and 16 years. But the sisters still don’t have an agent or a
clothing sponsor.
The promised Louis Vuitton bags haven’t materialized yet, either. The
sisters had made a joking bet that if Agnieszka beat Sharapova, they would
splurge.
“The shop closed at 7, and we got back to the hotel at 7:10,” Urzsula said.
So they celebrated Agnieszka’s monumental victory by watching a little TV in
their mid-town Manhattan hotel.
“There was nothing else to do,” Urzsula added.
