Andy Murray took the row on equal pay in tennis on to Twitter as he traded
blows with the Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky.
網壇同酬議題延燒，穆雷推特網戰烏克蘭選手Stakhovsky

Stakhovsky is a longstanding and vocal critic of equal prize money for women.
The topic has dominated headlines over the past few days following comments
from the former Indian Wells tournament director Raymond Moore. Moore stepped
down on Tuesday amid uproar over his comments.
Stakhovsky長期對女網同酬議題持反對立場以及Moore事件云云

Murray said Moore’s comments “made no sense at all” and also took on Novak
Djokovic, who fanned the flames in Indian Wells by saying the ATP should push
for more money because men’s matches are more popular. The Briton responded
with a pointed dig at Stakhovsky, the player he beat in the US Open junior
final in 2004, saying a lot more people would watch a match at Wimbledon
involving Laura Robson than the Ukrainian.
穆雷對於Moore的論調斥為無稽，也不認同喬柯維奇將獎金訴諸票房的看法。為了反擊球
王，穆雷反將矛頭對準其2004年美網青少年單打決賽的手下敗將Stakhovsky，藉以舉例說
：大多數球迷在溫布頓會選擇觀賞地主女網好手Laura Robson的比賽，而非男網的
Stakhovsky。

In a lengthy exchange on Twitter, Stakhovsky said to Murray: “Thanks for
mentioning me today. Need some attention. Although your argument fails the
moment we leave UK territory.”
此舉引發兩人在推特的系列網戰，Stakhovsky：「謝謝你（穆雷）今天提到我，是需要點
關注了。然而你的論調只在英國本土成立。」

Murray hit back: “As soon as we leave UK territory more people are watching
you than Laura? Really?”
穆雷反擊：「一離開英國大家就會改看你的比賽而不是Laura？你確定？」

Stakhovsky, ranked No114 in the world, replied: “The venue in Kiev is ready.
All you need to do is convince Laura to come.”
Stakhovsky（男網世界排名114）回答：「當然，基輔（烏克蘭首都）已經準備好了，你
只需要說服Laura過來。」

Murray then brought up a match between the two in Davis Cup in 2006, which he
won 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 to clinch the tie for Britain.

The Scot said: “I played you in a Davis Cup match in Ukraine and there must
have been a thousand people there max!”
穆雷遂重提兩人2006在戴維斯杯交手的舊事（當時穆雷直落三勝出）：「我之前在烏克蘭
戴維斯杯跟你打過，我看現場最多也才一千人。」

Stakhovsky responded by questioning how many empty seats there were, to which
Murray said: “How many empty seats were there Serge? I wasn’t counting was
focused on the getting the W [win].”
Stakhovsky反擊穆雷問道：「那你說現場有幾個空位？」
穆雷說：「我哪知道現場空位有幾個，我才沒心思算，我專注在打敗你。」

Murray will begin his campaign in Miami on Saturday against either Borna
Coric or Denis Istomin.
