Re: [情報] Mirka's 31st Birthday

[Dolce (April in Paris)]

在"Quest for Perfection"這本書裡面
有一個描寫Mirka的段落我看了很感動，也很喜歡
藉著今天Mirka生日的機會，跟大家分享

    The 2001 US Open was her last great success on the tennis tour-with
the exception of the Hopman Cup in Perth in January of 2002 where she
was able to celebrate a victory over Argentina alongside her boyfriend.
Shortly afterwards, at the age of 24, she played her last match on the
WTA tour in Budapest. She was forced to have another operation and was
once again on crutches. It was still quite some time until she finally
realized that her career was really finished. Her record as a professional
concluded with 202 victories and 159 defeats-including the lower-level
challenger and satellite events-with overall earnings of $260,832.

    2001年的美國網球公開賽是她取得職業生涯最後重要勝利的地方(除了2002年
1月在伯斯舉辦的霍普曼盃中，她和她的男朋友一起擊敗阿根廷拿下的勝利之外)。
不久之後，在她24歲那年，她在布達佩斯的WTA比賽中打了她職業生涯的最後一場
比賽。她被迫進行了另一次手術，並且再一次撐起了柺杖。過了好一段時間後她才
終於明白，她的職業生涯真的結束了。她的職業生涯紀錄總結為202場勝利及159場
失敗(這些紀錄包括了較低等級的挑戰賽及衛星賽)，她的職業生涯總獎金是美金
260,832元。

    The abrupt and premature end of her career cast her into a depression.
"It's not easy when you do something you like your entire life and then
have to quit it from one day to the next," she said later in an interview
at Wimbledon. "I fell into a deep hole. The most difficult part was when
I was home for eight months and couldn't do anything. I had a lot of time
to think and watch tennis on television. Roger was my greatest support back
then. He gave my tennis life back to me. When he wins, it's as if I win
as well."

   職業生涯突然又倉卒的結束，讓Mirka陷入了沮喪。"當你全部的生活都在做一件
你喜歡的事，然後從某一天開始你必須完全放棄，這真不是件容易的事"，她在之後
某次在溫布頓接受的訪問中說道。"我陷入了一個深淵。最困難的地方是，當我回家
待了八個月，而且什麼事情都不能做的時候。我有很多時間想東想西還有看電視上
轉播的網球比賽。在那段時間裡，Roger是我最大的支柱。他重新找回了我的網球生
命。當他贏的時候，我覺得好像我自己也贏了一樣。"

Mirka，生日快樂，你和Roger是命中注定要一起過一輩子的。
