[大威] 大威官網的2004回顧
2004 was a consistent year for Venus. She scored some great victories, and
had some losses, but she always came through with grace and dignity.
The year opened with Venus returning to the WTA Tour after missing lose to six
months with an injury. She chose to open her season in Hong Kong, an
exhibition event. Venus overcame a 1-5 first set deficit to beat future
Wimbledon Champion Maria Sharapova 7-5 6-3.
Next Venus made her dazzling return to Grand Slam tennis, in Melbourne at the
Australian Open. Venus wowed the public in a bold new navy and white tennis
dress. Fellow American,Lisa Raymond, got the best of Venus in a tight match
in the third round.
Venus came alive during the clay season. Sporting a bold green and white line
of dresses, Venus captured the Family Circle Cup, with a 2-6 6-2 6-1 victory
over Conchita Martinez in the final. Venus carried her form into another
victory at the J&S Cup and took out future US Open Champion Svetlana Kuznetsova
6-1 6-4 in the final. Venus then scored two impressive wins in the Fed-Cup to
remain unbeaten on clay.
Venus was hoping to win her third straight title in Berlin, at the German
Ladies Open. Things changed in the final game of her epic 2-6 6-3 6-4 semi
final victory over Karolina Sprem when Venus twisted her ankle. The injury
would cost Venus to default the final to Amelie Mauresmo, and would be a
factor in her loss at the French Open.
Venus entered Wimbledon with high hopes, but left in a cloud of controversary.
In her second round match, with Karolina Sprem, the chair umpire gave Sprem
an extra point in the second set tiebreak. The result? A shocking 7-6 7-6
victory for Sprem. Despite everything, Venus remained very graceful in defeat.
Venus next played in Stanford, and provided us with another classic battle. In
perhaps the closest match of the season, Lindsay Davenport edged Venus in the
finals 7-6 5-7 7-6. An injury would knock Venus out of the semis in LA, and
would be a factor of her Olympic loss. Another Davenport-Venus match up was
at the US Open, in the fourth round. In one of the best matches of the US Open
(only the Jennifer Capriati-Serena Williams match could be said as better),
Davenport ousted Venus 7-5 6-4.
In the fall, Venus reached the quarter finals in all her events, continuing
her consistent play.
With the 2005 season emerging quickly, Venus hopes to build on her game, and
rise more trophies...and hopefully a Grand Slam or two....or three, or four!
