Serena Williams may have preferred the devil she knows in the Wimbledon
singles final, but sister Venus is out, and the defending champion knows only
her best will be good enough against the wily Vera Zvonareva.

小威可能寧願在溫布頓決賽當魔鬼，但姐姐大威已經出局，這位冠軍衛冕者只知道她必須保
持良好狀態才足以對抗詭計多端的Vera Zvonareva。

With Venus gone in the quarter-finals, and with her the prospects of a fifth
all-Williams final, Serena never looked in danger of dashing through the draw
and booking her sixth appearance in the showpiece match on Saturday.

因為大威進入四分之一決賽，因為她(小威)期待第五次威家內戰，小威從來沒有因為籤表看
希望似破滅的危險，而第六次出現在星期六預定的比賽中。

"I feel like I would almost rather play her (Venus) because at least I know
for certain one of us is gonna win something and take something home. But now
it's a 50/50 chance," Williams told reporters.

「我感覺我寧可遭遇她(大威)，因為至少我知道我們倆其中之一會贏得冠軍，但現在是
50/50的機會。」小威告訴記者。

But for all her yearning for a Williams victory, Serena was well aware of the
challenge presented by the Russian, at 21 the second-lowest ranked player to
appear in the women's final at the All England Club.

但對於渴望屬於威廉絲的勝利，小威很清楚面臨眼前這名歷年打進女單決賽第二低的選手的
挑戰。

"I don't think she does anything terrible. I think that's the best way to
describe her game, she does everything so good," 12-times grand slam winner
Williams said.

「我認為她沒有特別糟的技術層面。我認為這是最好的方法來形容她的比賽，她每件事情都做
的那麼好。」12次大滿貫冠軍得主小威說。

"It's tough playing a player like that who doesn't really have one weakness
and everything pretty much is a strength from her forehand to her backhand to
her movement."

「這是一個艱難的比賽，這樣的球員誰也不是一個弱點。一切幾乎是一種衝勁，從她的正
拍、反拍到她的移動。」

In a Wimbledon full of surprises, with men's champion Roger Federer also
departing early, world number one Williams has at least stuck to the script,
powering her way through the draw without dropping a set and battering down a
record 80 aces in the process.

溫布頓充滿驚奇，隨著男單冠軍Roger Federer提早出局，世界排名第一的她在過程中已按
照劇本，一盤未失並擊出破紀錄的80 aces。

However, Zvonareva has already got the better of her once this tournament
with a victory over the Williams sisters on her way to the women's double
final with partner Elena Vesnina.

然而，Zvonareva已經得到更好的，因為她和她的搭檔Elena Vesnina在雙打比賽中擊敗威廉
絲姐妹。

"We obviously wanted to win the doubles but it wasn't the end-of-the-world
kind of thing. It was like, 'we lost but what are we going to do about it?'"
Williams said.

「我們很明顯的想贏得雙打比賽，但這不是最終的事情。就如同『我們輸了但我們該怎麼
辦？』」小威說。

She has a 5-1 career record against Zvonareva and is the overwhelming
favourite to win her fourth title but that was one statistic the 25-year-old
economics student from Moscow was prepared to ignore.

她生涯和Zvonareva對戰成績為5勝1負，且希望贏得壓倒性的第4次溫網冠軍。但這只是一個
紀錄，來自莫斯科25歲的她(Zvonareva)準備忽視它。

"I know if I play my best tennis I can beat anyone on the other side of the
net. That's what I'm going try to do on Saturday. I never look at any odds or
comparisons. It's not important to me," Zvonareva, appearing in her first
grand slam final, said.

「我知道如果我發揮出最好的實力我可以擊敗任何在另一端的人。這就是我星期六要嘗試做
的事。我從來沒有看過任何賠率或比較，這對我來說不是很重要。」Zvonareva說，她是第
一次在大滿貫賽事決賽中出現。

The Russian pinpointed Williams's mammoth serve as the main obstacle to
overcome.

"It's a very big advantage, especially here on the grass. But I think if you
can find the timing, you can return it.

「這是一個非常大的優勢，尤其是在這裡草地。但我想你如果有時間，你可以推翻它。」

"But there will be moments where she doesn't make a first serve. I haven't
seen anyone make a hundred percent of first serves. So you will just have to
take your chances then," the 2009 Australian Open semi-finalist said.

「但將會有片刻她無法完成首發，我還沒有看到任何人能打出百分之百的首發。因此你只需
要把握你的機會。」2009澳網公開賽四強的她說。

"I remember I played a very good match against her in Cincinnati one year
(2006) and I was able to beat her. It was a very, very tough one but I think
I was able to play the right way against her.

「我記得我2006年在Cincinnati與她打了一場非常棒的比賽而我能夠擊敗她。這是一個非
常非常艱難的事情，但我認為我能夠用正確的方法抵抗她。」

"So I will just have to try to do it again."

「所以我現在要再嘗試做一次。」
