Novak Djokovic received his ATP No. 1 trophy from ATP Executive Chairman &
President Adam Helfant during an on-court ceremony Monday at the Rogers Cup
in Montreal.

Nole在蒙特婁的場中，從ATP主席Adam Helfant手中領取ATP世界第一的獎盃。

“It’s an extreme honour for me to receive this trophy knowing the names of
the players who have won this trophy in the past tennis history,” said
Djokovic, the 25th player to hold down the No. 1 position in the South
African Airways ATP Rankings. “Of course it’s a pleasure to receive it
here, where I have won the biggest tournament of [my career at] that time in
2007.”

"得知過往歷史中那些拿過No.1頭銜的球員們的名字讓我感到極大的榮耀。"

Helfant commended the Serbian after the ceremony, stating, “The depth of
talent on tour is at an all-time high and we have great champions. That makes
Novak’s accomplishments all the more remarkable. He is a truly deserving
World No. 1. It’s a privilege for me to be here and take some part in
recognising his incredible achievements this year.”

Helfant談及這位塞爾維亞人說道："在賽場上所謂的天分即為保持高水平的狀態並拿下無
數冠軍，這也讓Nole的成就更加卓越，他確實值得世界第一的頭銜。我很開心有這個榮幸
在此見證他這麼不可思議的一年。"

The 24 year old is making his debut as the World No. 1, playing his first
tournament since winning the Wimbledon title, and is attempting to become the
first player to claim five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles in a season. He
won the four he’s contested this year with victory over Rafael Nadal in the
finals of Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Rome.

贏得溫布頓之後，這位24歲的傲少年第一次以世界第一的身分出賽，並嘗試成為第一位在
同一年裡勇奪五項千分賽的球員。他今年透過擊敗Nadal贏得印第安泉、邁阿密，馬德里
和羅馬四項千分賽。

“It’s hard to compare tennis across years, but you'd be hard-pressed to
find a time that was more competitive in our sport than now,” said Helfant.
“That’s what makes what Novak has achieved absolutely incredible, so much
so that it’s not just a tennis story, it’s been one of the biggest stories
in the world of sports this year.”

"雖然很難去對比這些年網壇的情勢，不過你很少看到過往這樣的運動裡有這麼競爭的情況
出現。"Helfant說，"這也無疑讓Nole的成就顯得十分驚人，可說是今年體育界裡最大的新
聞了。"

Djokovic, who boasts a 48-1 season record, opens his bid for a second Rogers
Cup title Tuesday night against former World No. 3 Nikolay Davydenko. No
active former World No. 1 has won a tournament in his debut appearance at the
ATP’s top player.

Nole擁有48勝1負的賽季成績，將在禮拜二晚上對上前世界第三的Davydenko，為第二座
Rogers Cup獎盃努力。現役前球王中，從未有人能以第一次球王的身分奪得首次亮相的冠
軍。

Djokovic put together an impressive performance at this ATP World Tour
Masters 1000 tournament in 2007, defeating the world’s top three players in
succession - No. 3 Andy Roddick, No. 2 Nadal and No. 1 Roger Federer - to
claim the title. It marked the first time a player had beaten both Federer
and Nadal in the same tournament while they were ranked No. 1 and No. 2.

Nole在2007年以一連串令人印象深刻的表現，分別擊敗當時世界前三的Roddick、Nadal、
Federer拿下這項賽事的冠軍，這也是第一位能夠在同一項賽事裡，連續擊敗當時世界第一
和第二的Federer、Nadal的球員。
