Sharapova, Foot in Door at Wimbledon, Awaits Approval to Play French Open https://nyti.ms/2qkDk2p By Ben Rothenberg MAY 15, 2017 ROME — Since her return from a 15-month suspension for a positive doping test, Maria Sharapova has had to rely on the generosity of tournament directors for wild-card entries while she rebuilt her ranking. On Monday, she reached a significant milestone en route to guaranteeing her right to compete. By winning her first-round match at the Italian Open, 6-4, 6-2, against Christina McHale, Sharapova will move far enough inside the top 200 of the WTA rankings to at least secure direct entry into the qualifying draw of Wimbledon in June. 羅馬第一輪過關，即時排名在200名內，讓莎娃可以獲得進入溫網會外賽的機會。 But Sharapova still needs a wild-card entry to the French Open, the coming Grand Slam event on the calendar. She will learn her fate for that event on Tuesday in an announcement that will be streamed live on Facebook by the French Federation of Tennis at 1 p.m. Eastern. Thirty minutes later, she will take the court for her second-round match against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni. 莎娃如要參加法網，則需要外卡。今天FFT會在臉書直播宣佈莎娃命運。 (在羅馬第二輪比賽前會得知) But Sharapova is not painstakingly tracking her progress toward being able to qualify — far from it, actually. “Will I?” she said after her victory Monday. “I don’t know how the Wimbledon qualifying works or the rankings — I’m not really aware of that.” Once the math was explained, Sharapova showed some sign of appreciating her achievement. “Listen, winning matches will get me places,” she said. “So if that’s where it got me today, then I will take it.” She added, “I think maybe you guys assume that I know these things, but I genuinely want to take care of each and every single week, and every single match is a priority for me.” 莎娃：「真的嗎？我不知道溫網會外賽的排名。我沒特別注意。一場場勝利會讓我回到位置上，如果可以，那我會接受。我想你們認為我應該知道，但我只想好好打比賽，對我而言比賽才是重要的。」 Although Sharapova said she was unaware of her status for Wimbledon, the tournament’s officials have apparently been highly aware of her potential presence at its qualifying event. Since 1925, qualifiers have been held not at the All England Club but at the small Bank of England club in the nearby suburb of Roehampton, with open admission. This year, the qualifying tournament will be a ticketed event, with attendance capped at 1,000 people. Wimbledon’s chief executive, Richard Lewis, said the possibility of Sharapova ’s descending onto the small facility in the same year was a mere coincidence. “I know it does seem very convenient timing, but it is actually unrelated, genuinely unrelated,” Lewis said, according to the BBC. Sharapova could still avoid Wimbledon qualifying altogether by reaching the semifinals here and landing inside (or close to) the top 100. To get there, Sharapova might have to face top-seeded Angelique Kerber in the third round and sixth-seeded Simona Halep in the quarterfinals. 如果要進入溫網會內名單，羅馬站需要打進四強(第100名內左右)。莎娃可能第三輪會對上Kerber，八強可能會對上Halep。 Her second-round opponent, Lucic-Baroni, whom Sharapova beat in three sets in the opening round of Madrid last week, will be the first player to face Sharapova twice since her comeback. The 35-year-old Lucic-Baroni, who made a surprise run to the semifinals of the Australian Open in January, made it clear how she feels about Sharapova’s continued presence at tournaments via wild cards. “I’m kind of tired answering these questions; she can answer questions for herself,” she said. “I feel the same way everybody else feels: You know the drill, you know what happened, you know what it is. Some people are forcing us to say everything is great, and blah blah, but it is what it is. I don’t much care for it.” Lucic-Baroni declined to say who was forcing her to say everything was “ great.” ”I’m not going to say those things because then I’m going to get in trouble,” she said. “No, no — nobody is pressuring us to say anything.” But Lucic-Baroni said she understood why players like Kristina Mladenovic have been repeatedly critical of Sharapova. “She should be,” Lucic-Baroni said of Mladenovic. “Every player who isn’t doping is against it. I mean, it’s not surprising. I don’t care for these things. I know the way the real world works, and this is the way the real world works. Money and everything speaks for itself. Maybe they should give a wild card to Lance Armstrong, too? He’s won the Tour de France a few times. How is it any different?” Lucic：「有點厭倦回答類似問題，莎娃可以自己回答。我和其他人有一樣感覺：都知道發生什麼事。有些人讓我們去說很棒很好，但事實就是如此。我不想管。我不想說那些是因為我不想惹麻煩。沒人強迫我們去說什麼。」 Lucic了解像Mladenovic的球員們對莎娃的看法。「每一位沒用禁藥的球員都反對外卡。我的意思是，這不讓人意外。我不在乎這些事。現實就是如此，錢會說話。他們或許也該給Lance Armstrong外卡？他是數次環法冠軍。這有什麼不同？」 Lucic-Baroni was making a comparison between Armstrong, who was banned from Olympic sports for life for a sophisticated and extensive doping scheme, and Sharapova, whose doping violation was ruled unintentional because she was not aware the drug Meldonium had recently been banned. Lucic拿阿姆斯壯和莎娃相比，前者遭終身禁賽是因為密集用藥，後者則是疏忽而違反禁藥規定。 Since her return, Sharapova has gone 5-2 — the two losses coming against two of her most vocal critics, Mladenovic and Eugenie Bouchard. Though she had not heard Lucic-Baroni’s comments, Sharapova insisted that such criticism did not distract her on the court. ”I have had to face a lot of, as you say, distractions or opinions or judgment since I was 17 years old,” Sharapova said. “And, you know, I play tennis for a lot of things, and those are just not them anymore.” 莎娃復出後的勝敗為5-2，敗場對手是對她批評為甚的Mladenovic和Bouchard。莎娃：「從我十七開始，我面對很多的批評指教。我打網球為的不是他們。」 -- 其實拿阿姆斯壯跟莎娃相比很怪... 希望有好消息 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.35.186.189 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Sharapova/M.1494930727.A.9AB.html
