Tebbutt: The Denis decision
弟弟的決定
Denis Shapovalov has completed his last match of 2018 and is not playing the
Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan Italy this week.
The explanation given by the ATP World Tour in a media release was “
exhaustion.”
丹尼斯‧最可愛的‧沙波瓦洛夫結束了他2018年最後的比賽,並不會參加這週在米蘭舉行
的新生代年終。
ATP在媒體發表時給的官方說法是「他累壞了」。
((譯按:反射動作會想把Next Gen翻成新一代XD))
It has been quite obvious to many observers the past few weeks that
Shapovalov was looking jaded and worn out by having been on the road for
seven weeks in a row – in order he was in Russia, China, Japan, China,
Sweden, Switzerland and France.
That’s a lot of travel for a 19-year-old, even if he’s quite experienced
for an athlete of his age.
對很多網球觀察家來說,很明顯的,過去這幾週Shapo看起來是又累又倦,因為他已經哈
士奇不停雪橇的旅行了七週──依序是俄羅斯、中國、日本、瑞典、瑞士,跟法國。
對一個19歲的弟弟來說,這真的有點多,雖然以他的年紀來說,他已經是在這方面很有經
驗的運動員。
It says here that Shapovalov made a wise choice in passing on the Next Gen
ATP Finals. If he had gone on this week to play at least three matches – as
guaranteed by the Next Gen format – and possibly injured himself, that could
have put the beginning of 2019 in jeopardy. This way his last match will have
been on October 29th and he won’t play again until the new season begins the
week of December 30th.
筆者認為Shapo決定跳過新生代年終賽的選擇是明智的。如果他選擇參加,根據賽程,他
將至少需要打三場小組賽,也冒著增加自己傷病的風險,這可能導致2019開季面臨危機。
在Shapo作了不參賽的決定後,他2018年的最後一場比賽是10/29,而他的下一場比賽,最
快也要等到12/30那週。
There seems to be a sense that Shapovalov has somewhat stagnated this year
but that’s misguided. From Eastbourne the week before Wimbledon in June
until the ATP 250 in Stockholm three weeks ago, he went nine tournaments in a
row without losing in the first round (or in his first match).
That’s remarkable consistency for a 19-year-old. When Roger Federer was the
same age his longest streak of winning at least one round in each tournament
was six in the fall of 2000. The Swiss also had a run between June and August
of that year when he lost seven first rounds in a row.
The longest first-round losing drought by Shapovalov this year has been two
tournaments on three different occasions – including to Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-2
in Basel and Richard Gasquet 6-4, 7-6(3) in Paris/Bercy the past two weeks.
有一種說法是Shapo今年的表現停滯不前,這其實是誤解。從六月溫布頓前一週的伊斯特
本到三週前的斯德哥爾摩,他在連續九個巡迴賽中都沒有一輪遊(或輸掉第一輪輪空後的
第一場)。
((譯按:耶我覺得這裡Tebbutt伯可能有點小錯,弟弟在斯德歌爾摩前一週的上海大師
賽第一輪輸給了剛拿到北京冠軍Basila,但連九個巡迴賽沒一輪遊是對的。))
對一個19歲的阿弟來說,這是驚人的穩定表現。傳說中的費爸在同年齡時,最長的連續不
一輪遊記錄是六週,那是2000年秋天的童話了。現任瑞士國王在當年的6月到8月之間,其
實曾連續輸掉七場第一輪賽事。
Shapo今年的最強一輪遊紀錄是連兩次X分開的三回,包括最近一次,也就是前兩週在巴塞
爾以6-4,6-2輸給犀利哥,跟巴黎大師賽6-4, 7-6(3)輸給老賈。
((譯按:再上次我記得的就草地賽季的斯圖加特跟女王啊XDDD,弟你真的喜歡草地嗎?
幫你開脫一下好了,斯圖加特等下雨等很久,女王遇到左手大砲Muller叔。))
Rafael Nadal was more precocious than either Federer or Shapovalov as a
19-year-old, so it’s not surprising that he once went 10 tournaments in a
row without losing his first match – from January to May 2005. Further proof
of what an early bloomer Nadal was – his 2005 match record was 79-10 while
Federer’s in 2000 was 36-30 and Shapovalov’s this year is 35-28.
在19歲的弟弟期,納豆比費爸或Shapo都早熟,他在2005年的1月到5月,作到了連續十個
賽事都沒有一輪遊,這不令人ey。納豆在2005年的勝負紀錄是79勝10負,費爸在2000年
是36勝30負,弟弟今年是35勝28負。
((譯按:溫馨提醒,納豆在2005的紅土季,不只沒有一輪遊,而是連勝24場orz拿了蒙
地卡羅跟羅馬的冠軍,還有第一次參加法網就拿冠軍嘿XDDDDDD))
Shapovalov started 2018 at No. 51 and looks like he will end it at No. 27,
good enough for a seeded position at the 2019 Australian Open.
He talked about winning his first ATP title as being a goal for 2018. That
goal was unattained but he managed to reach the semi-finals of a Masters 1000
in Madrid on clay in May and the semi-finals of an ATP 500 on hard court in
Tokyo in October.
Would it have been better to win an ATP 250 somewhere and end up ranked No.
47 – or to have had the even-keel season he has and be No. 27?
He also won at least a round at each Grand Slam and had an overall 2-1 record
in Davis Cup ties versus Croatia in Osijek in February and in Toronto in
September.
Shapo的2018賽季從世界排名51出發,目前看來應該就會以27收尾,可確保2019澳網的種
子位置。
他在季初提過贏得第一個ATP冠軍是本季目標。這個目標並未達成,但他五月在1000分級
的馬德里大師賽,以及十月在500分級的東京公開賽都打到四強。
拿到第一個ATP冠軍但季末排名47會比較好嗎?還是排名27,但整個賽季表現水準平均比
較好呢?
((譯按:我想Tebbutt伯沒那個意思,但我覺得Tiafoe中槍QQ))
弟弟在今年的每個大滿貫也都至少贏了第一輪,在台維斯盃的成績是二勝一負,包括二月
在克羅埃西亞Osijek的客場賽事跟九月在多倫多。
((譯按:二月對克羅埃西亞輸Coric贏Galovic,九月五盤大戰贏荷蘭Hasse。))
Here are his Grand Slam losses – and it has to be noted they each came after
he won a round or two (US Open):
US OPEN: 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to No. 5 Kevin Anderson.
It could hardly have been closer in Louis Armstrong Stadium against a tough
opponent who was, at the time, runner-up at both Wimbledon and the US Open.
WIMBLEDON: 0-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3) to No. 47 Benoit Paire.
A whining and moaning Paire was completely overwhelmed and out of sorts in
the first set on Court 3. Then Shapovalov may have let down his guard against
the talented Frenchman who was playing with a heavily-wrapped left leg.
ROLAND GARROS: 5-7, 7-6(4), 7-5, 6-4 to No. 70 Maximilian Marterer.
The 22-year-old German left-hander played an excellent match. Shapovalov was
close but just not quite good enough on Court No. 1 that day.
AUSTRALIAN OPEN: 3-6, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(4), 7-5 to No. 15 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
A three-hour 37-minute thriller in Margaret Court Arena – Shapovalov
outplayed Tsonga for most of it. He led by a break at 5-2 in the final set
but got a little tight. “There were two phases,” the 32-year-old Frenchman
would say later, “the last 10 minutes and the rest.”
接下來是弟弟在今年大滿貫的輸球比賽紀錄,筆者再次強調,這都是在他至少贏了第一輪
之後,美網更是贏了前兩輪。
美網:4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 輸給世界排名第五的Kevin Anderson
~在路易斯阿姆斯壯球場的那場比賽真的是打得不能再更接近了,何況他的對手是溫布頓
及上屆美網亞軍。~
溫布頓:0-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3) 輸給世界排名第47的 Benoit Paire
~在第三球場,鬼吼鬼叫罵罵號的Paire第一盤完全不在狀況內的被橫掃,但接下來Shapo
對這個左腳包很大別有天份的法國人棄械投降。~
法網:5-7, 7-6(4), 7-5, 6-4 to 輸給世界排名第70 的Maximilian Marterer
~22歲的左手持拍的德國人打了一場漂亮的比賽。那天在第一球場,Shapo有機會,但還
是不夠好。~
澳網:3-6, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(4), 7-5 輸給世界排名第15的 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
~這是一場3小時37分鐘的激戰─Shapo幾乎就要擊敗Tsonga。在最後一盤,他破發後以
5-2局數領先,但發生了些狀況。「這場比賽可以分成兩部份,」32歲的法國人如是說「
最後那10分鐘,跟之前。」~
((譯按:該改名的Margaret Court Arena就容我不翻出了…。))
Shapovalov is the youngest player in the top 100 – and the only teenager
along with No. 31 Alex de Minaur of Australia who is two months older.
Maybe the most convincing thing about Shapovalov this season has been that he
rarely looked out of place playing full-time at age 19 on the ATP tour. He
can serve and hit from the baseline with anyone. It just seems like a matter
of him maturing, getting a little more experience and letting his exceptional
skills evolve before he reaches another level in the rankings.
Shapo是世界前100名中最年輕的,另一位跟他作伴的青少年則是大他兩個月,澳洲的
Alex de Minaur,目前排名第31。
或許今年賽季Shapo最有說服力的表現是,作為一個19歲在ATP打好打滿的職業選手,他看
起來並無適應不良。他的發球跟底線抽球可以面對任何選手。他現在需要的是變成熟、變
得更有經驗、讓他的過人技巧持續進化,在他的排名突破到下一個階段前。
It’s interesting to compare him with rival Stefanos Tsitsipas who’s eight
months older at 20 and currently ranked No. 15.
At the Australian Open this year, Shapovalov totally outplayed a dispirited
Tsitsipas 6-1, 6-2, 7-6(5) before losing 6-3, 6-4 to the Greek in his first
outing on clay in Monte Carlo three months later.
Tsitsipas had a big breakthrough at the Rogers Cup in Toronto in August
upsetting No. 10 Novak Djokovic, No. 3 Sascha Zverev and No. 6 Anderson
before losing in the final to No. 1 Nadal. He won his first tournament at the
ATP 250 in Stockholm in October, beating qualifier Ernests Gulbis in the
final. His ranking has advanced from No. 91 to No. 15 this season.
把Shapo跟Stefanos Tsitsipas拿來比較會很有趣,84他比Shapo大8個月,現在20歲,世
界排名第15。
在今年的澳洲公開賽,Shapo以6-1, 6-2, 7-6(5)擊垮了沮喪的84,但三個月後在蒙地卡
羅的第一次紅土遭遇上,希臘弟以6-3, 6-4 擊敗了加拿大弟。
7784的生涯大躍進是今年8月多倫多的Rogers Cup,在輸給世界排名第1的納豆之前,他擊
敗了世界排名第10的Novak Djokovic、第3的Sascha Zverev 跟第6的Kevin Anderson。84
在10月250分級的斯德哥爾摩拿下自己生涯第一個ATP冠軍,在決賽擊敗由資格賽一路晉級
的古天王。而84今年的世界排名則是由第91竄升到第15。
((譯按:Tebbutt伯直接寫Sascha Zverev而不是Alexander Zverev我笑了。))
But if Shapovalov has looked tired recently, Tsitsipas looked totally fried
in a 6-3, 6-3 opening-round loss to No. 52-ranked Damir Dzumhur in Paris last
week. It will be interesting to see how the top-seeded Greek, at the end of a
grueling year, holds up in Milan. (He still looked a little ragged in
managing to win his opening round on Tuesday 4-3(5), 4-3(3), 3-4(4), 4-2 over
combative Jaume Munar of Spain.)
如果你覺得Shapo最近看起來累了,7784在巴黎大師賽第一輪以6-3, 6-3輸給世界排名第
52的Damir Dzumhur的狀態,看起來才真的是筋疲力盡。作為頭號種子的希臘人,在這血
汗一年的最後,能在米蘭有如何的表現,值得觀察。(84週二在米蘭的第一場比賽看起來
仍有些疲累,但仍設法以4-3(5), 4-3(3), 3-4(4), 4-2贏下西班牙的Jaume Munar。)
((譯按:個人覺得84在穿D&G還有比賽中間在休息室玩的時候看起來精神都不錯XD))
The Next Gen ATP Finals is a quaint idea but there’s really nothing at stake
except money – no ranking points are awarded. Shapovalov’s mental and
physical well-being this year were clearly more important than a trip to
Milan. Mother/coach Tessa and physio Stefano De Pirro (below) have helped
keep him fit and healthy through the fall period.
In the same way things changed for Tsitsipas since his initial Grand Slam
encounter with Shapovalov back in January, things could easily be shuffled
again in the course of the 2019 year.
ATP新生代決賽是個有意思的概念,但參賽者除了錢之外並無獲得其他實質利益─這個賽
事沒有積分。Shapo在心理跟生理上的狀態調整,絕對比他去米蘭一趟重要。身為母親跟
教練的Tessa,還有物理治療師Stefano de Pirro一直努力讓弟弟在賽季後半仍維持健健
康康頭好壯壯。
今年一月7784跟Shapo初次在大滿貫遭遇之後,很多事情變得不一樣了,但同樣的翻轉振
盪,也有可能在2019年賽季發生。
((譯按:阿姨我希望的是84跟Shapo在2019賽季都繼續步步高升內。))
At a time when the top-three positions in the ATP rankings are held by
31-year-old Djokovic, 32-year-old Nadal and 37-year-old Federer, there’s no
hurry to rush a rare talent like Shapovalov who’s more than a decade younger
than those three greats. There’s every reason for him to listen to his body
and not push it at season’s end when there’s the risk of injury. Many more
years remain for him to reach greater heights in the game.
在這樣一個ATP前三強被大叔盤據的時代,分別是31歲的冏、32歲的納、跟37歲的費,像
Shapo這樣小他們十歲以上、有著罕見天份的弟弟真的不需著急。他有非常充份的理由,
順從自己的身體狀況,不要在季末把自己逼得太緊,而冒可能受傷的風險。對Shapo來說
,未來還有很多年等著他,在比賽中攀上更高峰。
