溫網今年邁入第125屆 官網也開始一連串的溫網傳奇名將回顧 以下是大威的專文 http://www.wimbledon.com/heritage/history/legends/venus-williams Venus Williams Singles: 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008 Doubles: 2000, 2002, 2008, 2009 Rob McLean She may not be the best player in her own family, but when it comes to Wimbledon, Venus just about holds the bragging rights over her younger sister. With five titles to Serena's four, and, considering that her three defeats in the final at the All England Club all came from Serena, Venus has to date been the Williams' Wimbledon champion. 在自己家裡他也許不是最出色的選手 但是到了溫布頓 Venus有更多在Serena面前自誇的權利 他手握五個溫網 正領先Serena的四個 考慮到他還有另外三個在決賽中輸給Serena的亞軍獎盤 Venus目前在威廉絲家絕對是無可爭議的溫網冠軍 The life and career of Venus sounds so far-fetched that Hollywood would have probably turned down the script. The story began on the public courts of Compton, the crime-ridden neighbourhood in Los Angeles, where she was taught to play by her father Richard, who mapped out the tennis careers of his children even before they had been born. Venus Williams的生活簡直可以到好萊塢去改寫成電影 這個故事從美國貧民區.犯罪叢生的洛杉磯康普頓公共球場開始 在那裡 他的爸爸Richard開始對他的網球啟蒙 而這個計畫甚至從孩子們出生前 爸爸就已經一手規劃好了 Once they were old enough, they hit for six hours a day with old rackets against a wall or on a pot-holed court, while their father barked instructions from a manual. As a result they started competing before the age of five. 直到兩姊妹年紀夠大 他們開始每天六小時.以舊球拍對著牆壁或在佈滿坑洞的球場訓練 而他們的爸爸則參考教學手冊來教導他們 這樣的生活從五歲即開始至今 By the age of 10, Venus’s serve had already reached 100mph. In 1994 she turned professional and, at 14, proved she was the real deal with her first WTA Tour victory. For father Richard it was total vindication of his hard work. "That's one for the ghetto!" he said at the press conference after her win. 到了十歲時 Venus的發球已經可以達到時速100英里 他於1994年正式轉入職業 並且首戰即獲勝 證明了爸爸的苦心並未白費 他在賽後的記者會上說"這都為了對抗貧窮!" The Williams' sisters arrival on the scene was a breath of fresh air and they have given the women's game a higher profile as well as adding a whole new level of power and athleticism. One wonders what the game would have done without them. 威廉絲姊妹的到來給了網壇注入了新鮮氣息 他們創下許多女網紀錄 並且也提高了力量及運動能力的等級 球迷們或許會訝異如果沒有他們 現在的女網會是如何 Venus's stand out year was 2000 when she won the US Open, Wimbledon and the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics. Her victory over Lindsay Davenport at the All England Club made her the first female African American champion since Althea Gibson. Venus獨領風騷的時候是在2000年 當年他一口氣拿下了溫網.美網.雪梨奧運金牌 在溫網決賽中他打敗了Lindsay Davenport 也使他成為繼Althea Gibson之後第一位非裔美國冠軍 Further victories over Justine Henin (2001), Davenport again (2005) and from match point down, Marion Bartoli (2007) and Serena (2008), established the elder Williams as one of the dominant forces on the lawns of SW19, and she isn't finished yet. 隨後他在其他決賽中分別擊敗了Justine Henin (2001) 在2005的決賽中救回冠軍點再度擊敗Davenport 另外還有擊敗Marion Bartoli (2007) 以及妹妹Serena (2008) 這位較年長的威廉絲奠定了自己在SW19主宰力量的權威 而他的網球生涯甚至還未結束 As well as honours, plaudits and money beyond her wildest dreams, there have been downsides. She has at times been subjected to racism and also had to deal with the death of her half-sister in a gangland shooting on the very courts she once practised on. 但在一切榮譽.喝采.財富的背後 他也必須面對許多的低迷 他曾數度面對種族歧視的批評 並且還面對了同母異父姊姊在他兒時訓練球場附近遭到槍殺的悲劇 But with seven Grand Slams, Venus is established as an all-time great. Despite numerous off court interests as she approaches her 31st birthday, the game still appears to be her No 1 priority. With only one Wimbledon singles title short of equalling Billie Jean King and two behind Steffi Graf, there is a lot to play for, although Martina Navratilova's nine titles may prove a step too far. 但坐擁七座大滿貫的他早已擠身歷史偉人之列 儘管有場外興趣 而他也將年逾31 他仍將網球擺在心中的首要位置 目前他僅需一座溫網即可追平Billie Jean King 距離Steffi Graf也僅有兩座之遙 還有很多努力空間 雖然Martina Navratilova的九座對他來說還是遙不可及 -- 嗶嗶嗶嗶嗶 老師不通阻擋 嗶嗶嗶嗶嗶 像彈力球 我愛你愛我的角度 甜蜜誘惑 跟謝金燕妹妹尬舞使人這呢感動 你愛我愛你的熱度 送你偶伊偶 嗶嗶嗶嗶嗶 像著了魔 我今夜同你帶路 一齊快樂 就算是盲目的感動只有一千秒鐘 你今夜給我吻過 就屬你最好 嗶嗶嗶嗶嗶 有你最好 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.57.119.74
