In the first, Félix Auger-Aliassime was beaten 7-6(3), 7-6(4) by John Isner in an afternoon encounter that he can file away under ‘the school of hard knocks.’ 在週五晚上的邁阿密四強賽場，Shapo以6-2, 6-4輸給了Roger Federer，這是他能學到最好的一課。在他之前的下午場，FAA以7-6(3), 7-6(4)被John Isner擊敗，而那堂課大概可以被稱為「當頭棒喝教室」。 While the matches played out differently, the common thread for Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime was nerves. 雖然兩場比賽的走向並不同，但對Shapo和FAA來說，緊張是共同課題。 Shapovalov made eight unforced errors in his 18-point opening game and, even though he held serve, Federer broke him in his next two service games and coasted to a first set win. Shapo在打到第18分的開局中，噴出8個UE，雖然最後保下，但Federer連破了他接下來兩個發球局，並贏得第一盤。 In the second, Shapovalov had his best opportunity. Leading 1-0 he had his only break points of the match at 15-40 on the Federer serve but the savvy Swiss served-and-volleyed away the first one and then on the second Shapovalov hit long, failing to keep a second serve return in play. 在第二盤，Shapo一度擁有最佳機會。局數1-0領先後，在Federer的發球局打到15-40，是他整場唯一擁有過的破發機會。老練的瑞士人在第一個破發點果斷發球上網，而第二個破發點，弟自己打噴，沒有把握住對方二發。 Shapovalov (above watching Federer’s agent Tony Godsick and friends go by) showed lots of guts and fabulous shot-making in his four victories – especially during brutal rallies against contemporaries in the round-of-16 and the quarter-finals, No. 10-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas, 20, and No. 34 Frances Tiafoe, 21. Shapo（圖中看著Federer經紀人Tony Godsick及親友團走過去的那位）在他邁阿密的四場勝利中展現了強大膽識及絕佳擊球能力，這在16強戰面對排名第10的7784，以及8 強戰面對排名34的阿福時，和兩人的激烈對抽中嶄露無疑。 https://i.imgur.com/B2HtDJj.jpg

About the Federer match, Shapovalov admitted: “I started off a little bit tight. He started off pretty strong in the first. In the second set I tried to turn it around – had a couple chances, wasn’t able to convert. I did what I could.” 至於和Federer的比賽，Shapo承認：「我開始時有點緊張。他一開始就打超好。第二盤我試著扭轉局面，有過一些機會，但沒能把握。我作了我能作的了。」（真的只是「有點」緊張嗎嗎嗎嗎嗎嗎嗎？講話要憑良心喔弟。） He was quoted on the ATP website discussing the experience of playing his idol. “It’s surreal, being on the court against him,” he said. “Obviously I wasn’t trying to focus on the fact that it’s Roger on the other side. I was just trying to play as good as I can, and he did a good job today. He played an excellent match. I wasn’t able to kind of stay at his level.” ATP官網如此引述Shapo談及偶像的話：「在球場上和他對戰完全超現實。當然我不是一直去想天喔喔喔對面是Roger這件事。我作的是盡我所能的打好，而他今天打得很好。他打超好的其實。我無法和他並駕齊驅。」（你內心不時還是有天啊一下吧，承認吧你這分裂的弟～～～～～） During his 72 minutes on court, Shapovalov had 29 unforced errors to only eight for Federer and won just 31 per cent of second serve points to 74 per cent for the 37-year-old Swiss. He summed up: “I’m just going to try to learn from this and move forward.” 在他與偶像共享球場的72分鐘裡，Shapo噴出29個UE，相較於Federer只有8個，Shapo的二發贏球率31%，37歲的瑞士人則有74%。他如此總結；「我會從中記取教訓並向前看。」 The 20-time Grand Slam champion was generous in his praise of his 19-year-old opponent, saying: “Denis is a great player already and he’ll be even better in the future.” 20座大滿貫金杯得主則不吝讚賞19歲的對手：「Denis是很棒的選手，他未來會更好。」 Just as Bianca Andreescu, 18, made the tennis world aware of Canadian prodigies two weeks ago with her triumph in Indian Wells, Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime have left an indelible mark with their performances at the Miami Open. 就像18歲的Bianca Andreescu，在兩週前的印第安泉讓網球世界知道加拿大人的厲害。 Shapo跟FAA在邁阿密也都留下了他們不可磨滅的印記。（那就插播一下兩位弟弟在本屆賽會的各種記錄花邊，來源是ATP Media info： FAA是邁阿密有史以來最年輕的四強晉級者。 19歲的Shapo對上37歲的Federer，這是ATP 1000分級大師賽在八強、四強、決賽對陣組合中，有史以來出現過的最大年齡差距。Shapo也是第一個在1999年及其後出生的選手中與 Federer對陣的人。自1990年ATP有1000分級大師賽以來，這是第二度在四強賽出現兩個加拿大人。上一次是 2014年華盛頓公開賽的Milos Raonic 跟Vasek Pospisil。若FAA跟弟都晉級決賽，這會是ATP 1000分級大師賽史上第一次由兩個未滿20歲青少年在決賽對決。在邁阿密四強出現過的青少年，除了兩位加拿大弟弟還未知，其他五位後來都成為球王。 https://i.imgur.com/iMp8km9.jpg

Shapovalov’s ranking will move to No. 20, making him only the second Canadian in the 45-year history of the ATP’s computer rankings – after Milos Raonic in 2012 – to enter the top-20. Shapo的世界排名會來到20位，這是ATP排名45年來，第二次有加拿大人進入前20，上次是 2012年的肯尼哥。 Aliassime started 2019 at No. 109 and has vaulted to No. 33. He has only 52 of his current 1,245 points to defend between now and June – so some strong performances during the upcoming European red clay-court season should move him even higher. FAA在2019年開季時的世界排名是109，現在已經躍昇到33。在他目前的1245分裡，六月前只有52分要保，所以如果他在接下來的歐陸紅土季能有出色表現，那他還會衝得更高。 Both he and Shapovalov will next play the Masters 1000 event in Monte Carlo starting on Sunday April 14th. A year ago Shapovalov lost his opening match in Monte Carlo to Tsitsipas while Auger-Aliassime was beaten in the first round by Mischa Zverev. So there’s an immediate opportunity for both to improve their rankings. 接下來FAA跟Shapo都會打4/14開賽的蒙地卡羅大師賽。一年前Shapo在蒙地卡羅開賽第一場就輸給了7784，FAA則是在第一輪被Mischa Zverev擊敗。所以他們立刻就大有補分提升排名的機會。 While there’s ongoing speculation about which of the two will eventually turn out to be the better player, what many don’t dispute is the potential of Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime to reach the top five in the rankings and to win Grand Slam titles. It’s exactly the same thing that’s being said about Andreescu. 一直有各種關於這兩個選手到底誰最後會更強的討論，也有很多人認為，他們都有進世界前五，甚至贏得大滿貫的潛力。對Andreescu也有類似的預測。 The past four weeks in Indian Wells and Miami have been transformative for Canadian tennis. It’s not exaggerating to believe that someday they will be viewed as the moment when the nation introduced players who transformed the sport on the world stage. 過去四週在印第安泉及邁阿密，加拿大網球可說是脫胎換骨。在未來，或許現在會被看作楓葉國為世界網壇送進天選之人的歷史結點也不為過。（恩夫：就讓我們～看下去～～） --以下是FAA的部分-- Auger-Aliassime manoeuvred himself into winning positions in both sets against Isner – serving for the opener at 5-4 but hitting three double faults in the final four points. Then, serving for the second at 5-3, he hit a double fault and missed a forehand swing volley into the net on two of the last three points. That allowed Isner back into the set. FAA步步為營的讓自己在對Isner的比賽中兩盤都來到勝利發球局，在第一盤局數5-4時，他在最後該拿到手的4分中，發了3個雙誤。接著，在第二盤5-3時，他先發了一個雙誤，接著在接下來3分中有兩次正拍掛網，給了Isner繼續這盤的機會。 The Isner serve was key in both tiebreaks – in the second he won four points directly off it while Auger-Aliassime got zero easy points on his serve. Isner的發球當然是兩盤搶七的關鍵，在第二盤的搶七中，Isner光靠發球就贏下四分，而 FAA卻都要費一番功夫才能拿下發球分。 “For sure (it was) nerves,” said Auger-Aliassime about his serving woes. “ It’s like I caught a virus or something. I don’t know. I couldn’t put (in) a second serve anymore. Even the first serve, if you put it in, you don’t have to hit the second serve. That’s just very tough to swallow.” 「當然是因為緊張」，FAA如此說明自己的發球慘況。「簡直像是病毒感染之類。我不知道。我就是發不進二發。甚至一發，我知道只要發進去，就不用發二發了。這真的非常難接受。」 As brilliant as Auger-Aliassime has been in beating seven players (two in qualifying) to reach the semi-final, he was never quite the commanding presence he had been in his other matches after those three double faults in the tenth game of the first set. Not too long after the match, Mark Petchey – a former British player, coach of Andy Murray and currently a commentator – tweeted about seeing the Canadian out on the practice courts. FAA以精采表現連過七位選手（兩位是在資格賽中）打入四強，但在第一盤第十局的那三個雙誤，卻是他最受矚目的時候。在四強賽後不久，Mark Petchey（前英國球員、Andy Murray教練、現為球評）在推特上發了他在練習場上看到這位年輕加拿大人。搭配看起來幾乎空無一人練習場照片的推文為「你幾乎看不到他，但相信我他真的自己一個人來了。自主練習他的發球。場邊只有兩個人在看。＠FAA。#這態度已是傳說等級」 https://i.imgur.com/WdZbNld.jpg

The serve has been a concern at times recently for Auger-Aliassime – with commentator Brad Gilbert harping about the inconsistency of his toss during ESPN’s coverage of the Isner match. Double faults have been too frequent but, up until Friday’s semi-final, he had overcome them with timely, all-round solid serving. FAA的發球問題最近是常被提起的，在ESPN的轉播中，球評Brad Gilbert叨唸過他拋球的不穩定。雙誤的確常出現，但在週五的四強賽前，FAA總能適時再以強力發球彌補。 Over his eight Miami Open matches – including qualifying, Auger-Aliassime had 38 double faults, which averages out to 4.7 per match. If you take Federer, and the exemplary Swiss may be an unfair comparison, he has had a total of just eight double faults in his last six matches – including the Indian Wells three-set final against Dominic Thiem. He never had more than two in a match and his average is 1.3. 在他的八場邁阿密賽事中（含資格賽），FAA總共發出過38計雙誤，平均每場比賽約4.7次。如果你把他拿來跟Federer比，當然這標準是有那麼點不公平，瑞士人在過去六場比賽中僅發出過八計雙誤─包括印第安泉對Dominic Thiem的那場三盤決賽。Federer未在任何一場比賽發出超過兩計，場均雙誤數字是1.3。 The shortcomings against Isner should not overshadow the fact that Auger-Aliassime served brilliantly and to devastating effect in winning other matches – perfect examples being against No. 36 Marton Fucsovics in the second round and No. 19 Nikoloz Basilashvili in the round-of-16. 在與Isner對陣時暴露出的短處，不應掩蓋FAA發球其實已經不賴、也的確對他贏得比賽大有助益的事實─第二輪對上世界排名36的Marton Fucsovics以及16強對上世界排名19的 Nikoloz Basilashvili的兩場比賽都是絕佳實證。 Isner, after hitting a 140 mph serve to wrap up the hour and 53-minute match against Auger-Aliassime, appeared to say “good job” to him as they shook hands at the net and then applauded as the 18-year-old Montrealer walked off. Isner在用他140 mph的發球結束這一小時53分鐘的比賽後，在網前握手時向FAA說了聲「 good job」，並在18歲的蒙特婁人離場時為他歡呼。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.226.169.193 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Shapovalov/M.1554055160.A.945.html ※ 編輯: nfumeur (36.226.169.193), 04/01/2019 02:02:13
