Short break, then onto Asia / September 03, 2009

It's no secret that this is the most difficult time of my career so far.
Losing in the first round of the US Open hurt a great deal, I can tell you
that.

現在是我事業最困難的時候，這也不是甚麼秘密。我可以告訴你，在美網
一輪掰時在很傷。

I feel mentally exhausted. This season has been very difficult in terms of my
health and form: even though I'm in great shape in terms of my stamina and
speed, I've been picking up so many small injuries. Just when I felt like I
was close to getting back into my rhythm, I would feel pain in a new place,
and then I'd feel like I'm starting all over again.

我覺得精神上很洩氣。這賽季對我的建剛和狀態都很艱辛: 甚至當我很有鬥
志和速度，我總是有些小傷。就當我覺得要進入節奏了，我就會在新地方覺
得痛，然後我就感到整個過程又來一次。

It's obviously affected my confidence and I've overanalysed it too, and let
if affect me far too much - not just the injuries, but my desire to get back
to the top.

明顯地這影響了我的信心，而且我還過度分析，如果讓這些影響我太多太多
--不止是傷勢，還有我想回到頂尖的決心。

I feel like I haven't had a proper break in such a long time. Now I think the
best thing to do is to take a week or two off, to totally switch off from
tennis, and come back refreshed for my next tournament, which is in Tokyo at
the end of the month.

我覺得長久以來我都沒有好好休息。現在我想最好是放個一兩禮拜假，完全
從網球離開，然後重新充電再回到下一個比賽，那會是月底的東京。

After that I will play in Beijing: they're two big tournaments, so there is
still a lot to play for. It would be great to end the season on a high, going
into next year.

然後會是北京：這是兩個大比賽，所以會有很多球員。如果可以有好結果結
束這個賽季然後前進下一年，那會很棒。

Thanks a lot for all your messages of suport. It has been very touching to
read them in the past couple of days. At the same time, I would like you all
to know that I am fine! Of course, I am very disappointed, but I am really
optimistic for the future too!

謝謝你們的留言支持。過去幾天他們讓我很感動。同時間我想告訴你們我很
好! 當然我很失望，但是我也對未來很樂觀!

Love
Ana
