Re: [Live] Dinara Safina vs. Petra Kvitova
Safina怒了
如果Safina所言屬實 那昨天USTA真的蠻失禮的
我記得2007年也是因為賽程安排 要把八強戰大威vsJJ改時間
組委會也是經過雙方同意才改的 而且雙方賽後都肯定USTA對他們的尊重
不知道這次為什麼會這麼粗魯

Because of a long day session of tennis, where Melanie Oudin upset Maria
Sharapova in three tense sets and then Andy Roddick spent almost four hours
on Arthur Ashe Stadium court while losing a stunning five-setter to John
Isner, Saturday night's session at the U.S. Open that was supposed to begin
at 7 p.m. was clearly going to have a late start...late as in like 10 p.m.
late.
因為日間賽事打太久 (Oudin vs Sharapova/Isnet vs Roddick都打很緊湊)
星期六的Ashe夜間賽事本來應該七點開打 卻拖到晚間十點
Two matches were on that night schedule on Ashe Stadium: first-seeded woman
Dinara Safina against Petra Kvitova to be followed by James Blake, who is a
favorite of the night crowds, against Tommy Robredo.
本來晚場預定打兩場比賽-Safina vs Kvitova跟Blake vs Robredo
When the Roddick match had finished and as the day crowd was being hustled
off the court, an announcement was made by U.S. Open officials that Safina
and Kvitova had agreed to play their third-round match on Louis Armstrong
Stadium at 10 p.m. leaving Armstrong to Blake and Robredo after a ceremony
that had been scheduled to honor Pancho Gonzales, a ceremony hosted by actor
Benjamin Bratt and which also featured actor Jimmy Smits. Blake and Robredo
didn't begin playing until about 10:30 p.m.
當Roddick比賽結束後疏散觀眾
美網組委會宣佈把Safina vs Kvitova移到阿姆斯壯球場十點開打
而把Blake的比賽留在Ashe球場 在舉行完一個表揚儀式後在十點半開打
Meanwhile on Armstrong, Safina was playing her third straight
split-personality, split-set, three-set marathon. This one she lost in a
third-set tiebreak, beaten by 72nd-ranked Kvitova, a result not unexpected
because Safina had been displaying her angst and her unreliable serve all
week.
在阿姆斯壯 Safina打了他在美網的連續第三場馬拉松三盤
最後在決勝盤搶七被72名的Kvitova打敗
這樣的結果不算是大跌眼鏡 因為Safina這整週都打的很焦慮 發球也不穩
There was a hint of trouble when Kvitova mentioned that while she had no
problems with having the match moved, that Safina had been "very" unhappy.
而在賽後Kvitova表示比賽被改地點對他來說沒什麼影響
Safina卻說他非常不高興
And finally, about 2 a.m. Safina came into the interview room. There were
about 10 of us, a couple of Associated Press writers, a couple of New York
writers, Matt Cronin from tennisreporters.net and Safina was asked, was she
unhappy?
最後在凌晨兩點 Safina終於開始記者會 大約有十個記者
兩個美聯社的 兩個紐約時報的 還有TennisReporters的記者Matt Cronin在場
Safina被問到他是不是不高興
Uh, yes.
答案是肯定的
Safina said she wasn't asked. She was told by tournament officials. "They
came to us at 9:10 p.m. and just told us to switch to Armstrong," she said.
"Basically, that's it. It was very unfair. The best player in the world to
put on Armstrong. Their answer was that they prefer a five-set match to a
three-set woman match."
Safina說他完全沒有被徵求意見 他在九點十分才被官方通知要移到阿姆斯壯球場
"我認為這很不公平 一個世界上最好的選手要被放到阿姆斯壯球場
他們的答案是他們比較prefer一場五盤而非一場三盤比賽"
(不過Safina在第二輪完其實有說過他比較喜歡在阿姆斯壯打球)
Turned out the men's match was three sets too, Blake went out without much
fight and the men's match ended up 10 minutes after Safina's upset.
不過最後Blake並沒有太多抵抗 只比Safina的比賽晚十分鐘結束
"That's it, they don't want to listen, just move to Armstrong," Safina said.
"I keep asking why we're playing on Armstrong at 10. They tell us just play,
go on, go on 10 on Armstrong."
"他們不聽我的意見 只叫我們移到阿姆斯壯
我一直問他們為什麼我們要在阿姆斯壯打 他只跟我們說就去吧 十點在阿姆斯壯球場"
After speaking about the match and about how she had a game plan to go on the
court and make Kvitova move all around, she instead came on the court, stood
still and let Kvitova dictate play. "It's my brain," she said.
談了比賽.談他對Kvitova的戰術 他讓Kvitova滿場跑
但他卻還是站的很遠而不是向前施壓 而讓Kvitova重新掌握節奏
Safina說"這是就是我的想法" (不太懂這句的意思 可能跟英文不是Safina母語有關)
But then she went back to the other subject.
但當回到這個議題後....
"I'm No. 1 player in the world," she said. "Why move me? American Blake
because they want five sets instead of three. I always look forward to play
night session on Arthur Ashe, it's best thing in the U.S. Open."
"我是世界第一 為什麼是把我的比賽變動?
為什麼不是Blake? 因為他們比較想要五盤大戰
可是我一直很期待在Ashe的夜場打球 那是美網最好的特色"
Kvitova didn't complain at all. "Yeah, doesn't matter to me," the 20-year-old
from the Czech Republic said. "I'm not a star."
Kvitova對此沒什麼抱怨 "這沒有影響到我 反正我又不是明星"
The problem was that thousands of night session ticket holders had to stand
outside until the Roddick match ended after nine.
還有一個問題是 數千位買夜間門票的觀眾必須在球場外等到Roddick九點打完比賽
Tournament officials said they didn't want to delay the Robredo-Blake match
because the winner was slated to meet Roger Federer next. Federer had
finished his match about 2 on Saturday.
賽會組織說他們並不想要把Blake跟Rebredo的比賽延期 因為勝方要對上Federer
而Federer在星期六下午兩點就已經打完比賽了
U.S. Open spokesman Chris Widmaier said, "You've got to balance safety
issues, a big crowd, but the No. 1 factor is competitive integrity," he said.
"If we had not split matches, the women's match would have been started at
about 10:30 and who knows what time Blake and Robredo would have finished?"
美網發言人Chris Widmaier說"我們必須同時考量到安全問題
這麼多的觀眾 當然最重要的因素還是在比賽的完整性
如果不是打到決勝盤 Safina的比賽大概可以在十點半開打
但誰知道Blake跟Robredo會幾點打完?"
A similar situation happened in Australia two years ago with a late-running
day session and two big night matches featuring highly-ranked Venus Williams
and Sania Mirza followed by Aussie hero Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis.
Williams refused to change courts so the schedule was adhered to and Hewitt
and Baghdatis played until 4:30 in the morning.
在2008澳網也有類似情形 兩場夜間比賽一場是Venus Williams vs Sania Mirza
另外一場是澳洲地主英雄Lleyton Hewitt對上Marcos Baghdatis
大威回拒了更改球場的要求 所以按照原賽程打 最後Hewitt跟Baghdatis四點半才打完
Safina said she felt treated disrespectfully and that WTA Tour officials felt
the same way though none were available for comment.
Safina說他感到非常不被尊重 WTA官方也這麼認為 但WTA並未公開評論
And at the end of the day one suspects Safina would have lost a three-set
match on Arthur Ashe as well as she could have lost it on Louis Armstrong.
但也有人會覺得如果Safina會在阿姆斯壯輸球 他可能也會在Ashe輸球
Never a dull moment here.
在美網真是一刻空閒都沒有
