Dokic Shocks Schiavone In KL Opener

February 28, 2011


Dokic出人意外地繼續扮演種子殺手的角色
WTA以驚人的大篇幅報導她........

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - After a slow start a steely Jelena Dokic dispatched
top seed Francesca Schiavone in the first round of the BMW Malaysian Open on
Monday. The 26 76(1) 64 win marks the 27-year-old former world No.4's first
victory over a Top 5 opponent since she beat then-No.1 Kim Clijsters at Zü
rich in 2003.

上次擊敗Top5球員 已經要追朔到2003年 對手還是克媽 @@
兩人今昔對比 有點不勝唏噓

Currently ranked No.91, Dokic went into today's match with a 2-0 head-to-head
record against her Italian rival - not counting junior tussles - but they
hadn't played in almost a decade. And while Dokic was an easy winner in their
last meeting at Moscow in 2001, for a while it seemed fifth-ranked Schiavone
would finally have revenge as she raced to a 3-0 lead.

Dokic對夏鳳有連勝兩場的戰績 但之後兩人近十年沒交手過
上回是在2001年的莫斯科 以6-2 6-0的懸殊比分戰勝夏鳳

But then the rains came, and while the suspension of play didn't deter
Schiavone's march for long, the break did give Dokic a chance to regroup.
Returning to the court, the Australian held serve for the first time, duly
breaking to close the gap to 3-2 before Schiavone broke again to seal the
opener.

記者認為 因雨勢延賽的狀況加上夏鳳後來慢熱 給了Dokic重整旗鼓的機會


"Francesca plays with a lot more topspin than other girls, and it was hard to
get used to," said Dokic. "She was putting pressure on me, my serve was not
working and I just made too many mistakes in the beginning. But after the
rain, even though I lost the first set I tried to be more aggressive and I
started to play better."

Dokic表示 夏鳳的上旋打法很難讓人馬上適應 這讓她覺得飽受壓力
加上自己發球走樣 開盤時頻頻失誤 但雨勢一過 縱使自己掉了首盤
仍保持積極進攻的態度 這讓她後來表現漸入佳境

Indeed, even though three consecutive Dokic double faults handed Schiavone
the opening game of the second set, the Australian broke right back. Ten
straight service holds followed, leading to a tie-break where fate
intervened: With Dokic ahead 3-1, Schiavone took a tumble, didn't win another
point in the breaker, and duly took a medical time out for treatment on her
right ankle.

雖然在第二盤開始 Dokic連續發出三個雙誤 但她後來旋即破回發球局
接下來 她連續保住自己發球局十局 第二盤比賽進入搶七 同時也是整場比賽轉淚點
Dokic在搶七局以3-1領先後 夏鳳此時跌了一跤 沒再搶七局獲得額外比分
後來適時地叫了傷停治療她的右腳踝

Even so, games remained on serve until 2-2 in the decider, when Dokic made
the critical breakthrough for 3-2, with her own serve to come. After
Schiavone missed an immediate break-back opportunity, Dokic conceded just one
point in each of her next service games to close it out.

當比賽進入第三盤 發球局互保維持2-2的僵局 直到Dokic決定性地破了夏鳳發球局
比分形成3-2領先 夏鳳在之後錯失了馬上破發回來的機會 Dokic後來在自己的兩個發球局
僅僅各掉一分 順利結束比賽

"Sometimes when you see your opponent get injured you have to be a lot more
focused so you don't drop your level," said Dokic. "You can't think that she
will not play well. She went for some risky shots early in the rally, so I
had to be ready for that. But I think I served really well in the third set."

Dokic說 有時自己看到對手受傷 反而必須更加專注才行 要維持自己的狀態
不能只是光想著 反正她都打不好了 夏鳳在比賽前段嘗試許多風險大的球路
必須時刻留意這點　而自己覺得第三盤的發球狀態非常好

On the significance of the win after years of well-documented struggle with
injury, illness and personal issues, Dokic added: "I already had a good
tournament this year in Paris, I beat Top 20 and Top 25 player there. I had
tough draws in Dubai and Doha and again here, so this is a big win for me.

經歷之前的低潮、傷病、和一些私人問題　Dokic說她在巴黎室內賽有不錯的成績
在此擊敗Top20和Top25的選手　杜拜和多哈的籤表都很難打　吉隆坡也是
所以對她來說　此勝意義非凡

"I'm still not as consistent as I want to be - there are still some weeks
where I don't play up to my high standard. But this year I'm playing WTA
events every week and it's making a difference. Thank God, no injuries... my
body is great and hopefully it will stay that way."

她說　自己想要維持的狀態仍然不連貫　有幾週的比賽還是打不出高水平
但今年會每週參加WTA的比賽　幸好自己沒有受傷　身體健康處在很棒的狀態
盼能繼續維持

"I love the sport and I respect the fact that people came to watch, so I
don't like to retire," said Schiavone of her decision to see the match
through. "Maybe sometimes I shouldn't think like this, because I think it
made it worse. But for sure the fans helped me to keep going. They appreciate
the way that I play, and I want to come back and do better. Tonight Jelena
fought and she deserved it."

夏鳳則在賽後表示　她熱愛這項運動　為了尊重來觀賞比賽的群眾 不輕言退賽　
決定打完整場比賽　粉絲是她很大的動力來源　因為她們欣賞自己的球技　
並肯定Dokic今日的奮戰　勝利是她應得的　　

Two other seeds were in action on Monday. No.5 seed Lucie Safarova powered
home against 17-year-old Kazakh Zarina Diyas, 75 61, while No.6 seed Ayumi
Morita breezed past Darya Kustova, 62 60. Zhang Shuai, Noppawan
Lertcheewakarn and wildcard Urszula Radwanska also notched first round wins,
while the four qualifying spots were secured by Anne Kremer, Lu Jing-Jing,
Sun Shengnan and Tetiana Luzhanska.
