Czech tennis ace Nicole Vaidisova is looking to turn over a new leaf in
Auckland after "a year of transition" in which the former top-10's ranking
took a dive.
妮可‧瓦衣笛鎖娃希望能在排名一洩千里的2008之後開始新的一頁。

Vaidisova, 19, was today the first of the big names to arrive for the WTA
Tour season-opening ASB Classic, which begins on Monday.

She will be the $US220,000 ($NZ386,000) tournament's sixth seed.
下週一展開的奧克蘭女網，瓦衣笛鎖娃是首位到達紐西蘭的大選手，她將列為第六種子

The winner of six WTA titles and once the world No 7, Vaidisova saw her
ranking fall over the past year from 12th to 41st on the back of a nagging
wrist injury.
曾拿過六個女網賽冠軍，排名也曾高居世界第七，手腕傷讓她看著排名跌入深淵。
(你我都知道主因是什麼 ╮(﹀_﹀")╭)

"I took some time off and did a lot of rehab and I feel as well as I can be,"
she said.

"I worked hard in the off season, so my goal is just to get back to where I
was at the start of this year."
妮可訪問中說:"我花了一些時間復健，季外訓練很勤奮，所以我的目標是回到今年初的
位置"

After making the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the second time in July,
Vaidisova's results fell away with five first-round and two second-round
exits over the remainder of 2008.
七月溫布頓短暫迴光返照之後，就只能到各地去領車馬費。

She didn't want to give reasons or make excuses for her poor run.

"I don't think everybody can play well all the time," he said.

"It was just a year for me of transition, a lot changes, and it took a toll.
I'm just ready for next year."
她覺得這是一個變化很大的一年，太多改變，現在就是準備好迎接明年。

Vaidisova is making her first appearance in the Classic and had "heard it's a
fun tournament".

But it was also important to get a good start to the year and to have a solid
build-up to the Australian Open later in the month.

"It can sow a little doubt in your mind if you don't do as well."
瓦衣第一次來到紐西蘭比賽，她曾聽過人說這是個有趣的賽事。一年有一個好的開始很
重要，作為澳網熱身當然希望能有好表現。

在Petrova與Srebotnik退賽後，其他參賽選手仍有Dementieva、Wozniacki。
