比利時方面 Henin已經退賽
Kim說今年要多休息 甚至考慮退出法網
看起來比國的兩位名將都可能不會出賽
這樣可能重演2005年第一輪 當時在大威跟戴姐領銜下
美國五場皆贏且都沒有超過一小時...
Serena Williams has agreed to play for the U.S. Fed Cup team for the first
time since 2003. Fresh off her Australian Open title, Williams will join
older sister Venus on the squad that faces Belgium in the first round of the
Fed Cup in April.
小威將跟大威一起在四月的聯邦杯打比利時 這是小威自2003年第一次參加
"I was very happy when Serena called me and said she wanted to play,
especially coming after her big win in Australia," U.S. captain Zina Garrison
told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday. "She had texted
me a couple of times and said she was contemplating playing Fed Cup. She
actually let me know last week she'll play."
Zina Garrison說他很高興小威告訴他想打Fed Cup 特別是在澳網的出色表現後
上週小威就跟他說他會打Fed Cup
The U.S. Tennis Association planned to make a formal announcement later
Thursday. Venus Williams' participation was announced last week.
USTA原計劃星期四宣佈小威參賽 大威則是上週便宣佈了
"I'm excited to see them back on the court and working hard and defying all
the odds of what people think or say about them," Garrison said.
Garrison說很高興看到大小威回來努力訓練對抗一切批評
Serena Williams is undefeated in her Fed Cup career, going 3-0 in singles and
3-0 in doubles. She last played for the United States four years ago, in a
first-round victory over the Czech Republic.
小威在Fed Cup還沒輸過 單雙打都三場全勝
上次他是在2003第一輪出戰 輕鬆擊敗捷克隊
The only other year she played Fed Cup was in 1999, helping win the title.
The United States repeated as champion the next year without Serena Williams,
but it hasn't won the Fed Cup since.
他再上一次打是1999了 幫助美國奪冠 隔年美國缺少小威但仍然衛冕 此後就沒在奪冠
The U.S. team is 3-3 under Garrison, never going beyond the semifinals.
Garrison帶領美國隊戰績是3-3 沒有差於四強過
The sisters "have said they are both very interested in bringing the title
back home," Garrison said, "and both of them know what sort of commitment
that means."
他們都說很希望今年把錦標帶回家
The younger Williams entered the Australian Open last month unseeded, ranked
81st, and without a title from any tournament in two years, in part because
of injuries that sidelined her for months at a time.
小威上個月在澳網以81名非種子身份奪得兩年內第一個冠軍
But she knocked off six seeded players in Melbourne, capped by a 6-1, 6-2
victory over top-seeded Maria Sharapova in the final. That gave the American
her eighth Grand Slam singles title and moved her up to No. 14 in the WTA
rankings. She's 15th this week.
他打敗六個種子 決賽6-1 6-2打敗第一種子Sharapova
讓他贏了第八個大滿貫 排名挺進14 他本週是15
"Serena is Serena. If she decides that's what she's going to do, she'll do
it. Does she have the potential to back at No. 1? Of course," Garrison said.
"At the Australian Open, you saw that hunger in her eyes again."
小威就是小威 如果他決定了 他就會做到 他當然有回到第一的潛能
在澳網 你又看到了他眼神裡的渴望
Getting both Williams sisters to play against Belgium - at Delray Beach,
Fla., on April 21-22 - is a coup for Garrison, who was given a one-year
contract extension for 2007.
比賽於四月21.22將在Delray Beach舉行
"Serena's a lot like me. When she makes up her mind, if she's not going to
want to do it, you can't persuade her," Garrison said. "I did a lot of
talking to her and her agent, Jill Smoller, saying I've got a one-year
contract and I would like to bring the championship home now, because you
don't know what next year will bring."
小威很像我 當他下定決心 如果他不想做 強迫他也沒用
我花很多時間跟他的經紀人Jill Smoller談 跟他說我還有一年的約
很想今年把錦標拿回家 因為你不知道明年如何
Fed Cup captains have until 10 days before a match to select their four-woman
squad, and Garrison hasn't decided whether the Williams sisters will be her
doubles team.
Fed Cup的領隊要在比賽前十天確定四人陣容 Garrison還沒決定讓大小威打雙打
"They'll do whatever you ask. If you want them to play, they'll play. And if
you say, 'I don't need you in this particular match,' they're OK with that,
too," Garrison said. "They're a lot more team oriented than people realize."
如果要求的話他們會做到 要他們打他就會打 如果你說現在先不需要你 他們也ok
他們比人們想像的隨和很多
