網球-海寧時隔兩年直指溫網桂冠,稱克萊斯特爾斯極具威脅【路透社】路透倫敦電---法國網球公開賽冠軍海寧(軒蓮/亨寧)表示，比利時同胞克萊斯特爾斯 (克莉絲達絲)將是她在溫布爾登(溫布頓(新聞、網站))錦標賽奪冠路上最大的威脅之一。克萊斯特爾斯周六在伊斯特本(Eastbourne)奪冠，為這項草地大滿貫賽事精彩熱身後，信心滿滿來到溫布爾登。「克萊斯特爾斯能夠在草地上打得很好，這或許是她最擅長的。」現年23歲的海寧說。她將力爭生涯首次在溫網折桂。「她將會很有威脅性。我很尊重克萊斯特爾斯，她是很出色的球手，總有一天會贏得大滿貫錦標。」由於傷病原因，克萊斯特爾斯和海寧去年均未參加溫網，但她們兩人卻是本賽季WTA賽場上表現最穩定的球手。海寧自4月膝傷康復重返賽場後僅輸過一場比賽。她在整個紅土賽季保持不敗戰績，最後於本月稍早在法網摘下生涯第二次法網桂冠。克萊斯特爾斯克服一度威脅其網球生涯的腕傷，在印第安泉(Indian Wells)和邁阿密賽事奪冠，使自己的世界排名迅速回升。 **海寧自稱有長足進步** 身材矮小的海寧需要拿下溫網桂冠，以完成四大滿貫錦標。她自稱較2001年決賽中敗給大威廉姆斯(維納絲威廉絲)時又進步了許多。「我僅差一盤就可以奪冠，但當時實際上還差得很遠，」海寧對記者說，「當時大威廉姆斯對我來說太強了。」「我的發球和正手都比兩年前在這裡出賽時進步了許多。我現在衝勁十足，若能在此奪冠將是個偉大的成就。」七號種子海寧將在溫網首輪對陣希臘(新聞、網站)女將達尼利都(Eleni Daniilidou)。她半準決賽可能面對小威廉姆斯(莎蓮娜威廉絲)，而準決賽可能對陣衛冕冠軍莎拉波娃(舒拉寶娃)。 15號種子克萊斯特爾斯首輪將迎戰英國選手奧布萊恩(新聞、網站、圖片)(Katie O'Brien)，而第四輪可能遭遇頭號種子達文波特(迪雲樸)。(完) --翻譯烏雲高娃;審校李建興 ※ 引述《JustinWang (Henin要奪冠！)》之銘言： : http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/050618/2/bmyp.html : Henin tips Clijsters as title threat : Sat 18 Jun, 7:00 PM : LONDON (Reuters) - French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne has picked out : fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters as one of the biggest threats to her title : chances at Wimbledon. : Clijsters warmed up for the grasscourt grand slam by winning the Eastbourne : tournament on Saturday and will arrive at Wimbledon in buoyant mood. : ADVERTISEMENT : "Kim can play very good tennis on grass, it's probably her favourite : surface," said the 23-year-old Henin-Hardenne, who will be bidding to win her : first Wimbledon title. : "She is going to be very dangerous.
