[情報] Federer/Mirnyi Win First Masters Series Doubles Crown

[establish (Est)]

Semifinalists from last year go two better in 2003.

Roger Federer now has five career doubles titles, three with Max Mirnyi.
Making up for a disappointing singles quarterfinal in which Roger Federer
lost to Spaniard Albert Costa despiting holding three match points, Federer
and partner Max Mirnyi won their first Tennis Masters Series doubles title
Saturday at the NASDAQ-100 Open, one year after reaching the semifinals here.

It is the most prestigious doubles title to date for this particular pair,
who won ATP titles in Rotterdam and Moscow last year and reached the final
at the 2002 Pacific Life Open, while going 16-4 on the year as a duo.

Mirnyi also won the US Open doubles crown with partner Mahesh Bhupathi in 2002.

The 6-foot-1 Federer and the 6-foot-5 Mirnyi overpowered the smaller team of
Leander Paes and David Rikl, breaking Paes/Rikl at 6-5 to win the first set
and breaking again early in the second en route to the straight set win 7-5,
6-3.

Paes and Rikl were fortunate to reach the final, having come back from down a
set and a break to Mike and Bob Bryan in Friday night's semifinal.

To reach the final, Federer/Mirnyi defeated the top seeded team of Mar
k Knowles and Daniel Nestor 6-3, 6-4, and later in the day Fernando
Gonzalez and Tommy Robredo by the same score.

"Having a partner like Roger is a big deal. He's a guy who understands
what you need to do to win, even if it means playing two matches in one
day like we did on Friday because of the rain," said Mirnyi. "We were
both fit enough to play three matches in two days and we didn't exert
ourselves too much since we won both in straight sets."

"It's great for us to win because it's one of the biggest tournaments on
tour and it's Roger's first Tennis Masters Series wins. It's the big ones
like this that you always remember," said Mirnyi.

去年的四強更上"兩"層樓

[記者Rfed 綜合外電報導]
Roger Federer現在擁有了5個雙打冠軍,其中三個的搭檔是Max Mirnyi.
在輸掉了對西班牙選手Albert Costa令人失望的8強賽後(還曾擁有了三
個賽末點),Federer跟他的搭檔Mirnyi在星期六的NASDAQ-100公開賽贏下
了他們的第一個TMS雙打冠軍.去年他們在這個比賽打進了四強.

這對這對常搭檔的組合來說毫無疑問是一次重大的勝利,他們在去年贏得了
Rotterdam跟Moscow賽事的冠軍.並在Pacific Life公開賽打進了決賽,使得
去年的戰績是16勝4敗.

Mirnyi也在2002年美網跟Mahesh Bhupathi拿下了冠軍.

6呎一吋的Federer跟6呎5吋的Mirnyi鎮壓了身材矮小的Leander Paes和
David Rikl,在6-5領先的時候破了對手的發球局拿下了第一盤,而在第二盤
的一開始再度破了發球局而以直落二的比數7-5.6-3贏下了比賽.

在晉級決賽的過程中,Federer/Mirnyi擊敗了大種子 Mark Knowles和Daniel
Nestor,比數是6-3.6-4,稍後也以同樣的比數擊敗了FernandoGonzalez和
Tommy Robredo.

 野獸先生說:"有Rogi這樣得搭檔真是一件了不起的事,他懂得該怎摩贏球,即
使像星期五因為下雨的關係而必須連打兩場比賽.我們再兩天的三場比賽中都
處理的很好,我們也不會給自己太多的壓力."

野獸先生還說:"能夠贏這場比賽真是太好了..因為這是巡迴賽中最大的比賽之
一.而這也是Rogi第一個TMS的雙打冠軍.這是一個你會記在心裡的大勝利"


Rogi跟Mirnyi繼續當打下去吧..希望有一天能拿大滿貫雙打冠軍..
