Samantha Stosur (惊!) http://0rz.tw/AzFQM Samantha Stosur stumbled into tennis at the age of 6 after a flood destroyed her family's home in Brisbane, Australia. The family — which lost everything — moved to Adelaide with just $5,000, and her parents worked round the clock running a café. To keep Stosur occupied, her older brother hit balls with her at the park, and eventually persuaded his parents to enroll Stosur in tennis lessons. By the end of 2006, she had risen to No. 1 in doubles and cracked the top 30 in singles. But in 2007 a diagnosis of Lyme disease — and the accompanying pain and lethargy — sidelined her for months. "It definitely showed me that I should appreciate what I can do," says Stosur, 27. "When you wake up and get told you can't play for a certain amount of time, it's a big eye opener and a wake-up call that if you do get to come back, to make the most of it." She did. After overcoming the disease, Stosur became one of the fittest players on the tour and defeated three former top-ranked players en route to reaching the 2010 French Open final. By early 2011, she had risen to No. 4 in the world. 六岁那年的一场洪水毁掉了她在澳洲布里斯本的家後 Samantha Stosur不经意的踏入了网 球世界. 失去一切的Stosur一家 带着仅存的5000元搬到了Adelaide 在那里她的父母开始 没日没夜的经营一家咖啡餐馆 为了让小Stosur有事可做 他的哥哥在公园与她一起打球 後来还说服了她的父母让Stosur参加网球课程 在2006年底 她成为双打世界第一 单打排名 也上升到30名 不过在2007年 她被诊断出罹患了莱姆病 这个会导致疼痛和晕眩的疾病 让 她远离球场好几个月 "这件事让我深深感觉到应该珍惜我所能做的事" 现年27岁的Stosur 表示 "当你一觉醒来被告知你有一段时间不能再打球 这绝对是很大的警讯 你会告诉自己 如果还有机会再回到球场 我一定要做到最好" 在打败病魔後 Stosur成为网球界身体最强 健的选手之一(嗯~啊~) 并且连续打败了三位顶尖好手进入2010年的法网决赛 在2011年初 她的排名上升到了世界第四 老调重谈( ′-`)y-～ 12.

Steffi Graf 23. Tracy Austin 24. Martina Navratilova 25. Chris Evert 26. Evonne Goolagong http://0rz.tw/wv9HY The daughter of a poor Aboriginal sheep shearer, Evonne Goolagong shot down the notion that tennis stars had to be groomed at the country club. Born in 1951 — 16 years before Australia even recognized Aborigines in its census — she took up the sport after an encouraging neighbor spotted her peering through the fence at a local court. A Sydney tennis instructor got wind of her raw talent and persuaded her parents to let Goolagong move to his academy to train when she turned 16. Three years later, in 1971, she burst onto the world scene to win both the French Open and Wimbledon. In 1980 she won a second Wimbledon title, becoming the first mother to win a major in the Open Era. "When I was 19, I didn't appreciate it," she told Sports Illustrated in 1998. "But in '80, I had a child and nobody expected much. That was amazingly sweet." A seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, 59-year-old Goolagong now campaigns for Aboriginal rights and runs the Goolagong National Development Camp, which encourages Aboriginal children to play competitive tennis. 来自贫穷的原住民剪羊毛人家庭 Evonne Goolagong让澳洲惊觉到 不是只有乡村俱乐部(意 指白人富裕家庭)出身的人才能成为网球明星 在1951年出生的她(在16年後澳洲才正式在人 口普查中列入原住民) 因为某位邻居看到她在场外透过栅栏一直盯着球场看 而鼓励她打网 球 一位来自雪梨的网球指导员发现到她的才华 进而说服她的父母让16岁的Goolagong搬到 他的学院进行训练 三年後的1971年 她连续赢得法网及温网冠军而跃上了世界的舞台 在 1980年她赢得第二座温网冠军 并且成为开放年代後第一个妈妈冠军选手 "当我19岁时 我 并不懂得珍惜" 她在1988年告诉体育画刊 "但是到了80年代 当我有了小孩而且没人对我有 太多期待时却赢得冠军 真的是很美好" 生涯赢得七座大满贯单打冠军的Goolagong 51岁的 她现在为原住民平权运动而努力 她还成立了Goolagong国家发展营 鼓励原住民小孩积极参 与网球比赛 27. Virginia Wade 28. Rosie Casals 29. Margaret Court http://0rz.tw/XwriP Born to poor parents in New South Wales, Australia, Margaret Court, now 68, grew up with an inferiority complex. Her family didn't have a television or a car, and her first tennis racket was fashioned from the stakes of an old wooden fence. She eventually turned it into gold. Court upped the ante in on-court power and off-court training, giving her an edge over rivals like Billie Jean King and Maria Bueno throughout the 1960s. In 1970 she completed the Grand Slam, becoming only the second woman (after Maureen Connolly) to do so, and she continued to play throughout the '70s after she had given birth to three children (she actually contested the 1971 Wimbledon final while pregnant with her first son). She ultimately won 62 Grand Slam titles — including 24 in singles — a record that no other woman is likely to match. She's now a Pentecostal pastor in Perth. 现年86岁的Margaret Court出生於澳洲新南威尔斯的贫穷家庭 她可以说是在劣势中成长 她的家里既没电视也没车 而她的第一支球拍还是用老旧的木头栅栏拼凑起来的 但是她最 後却将它变成了黄金 Court不断加强场内的力量和场外的训练 让她可以在60年代打败 Billie Jean King 和 Maria Bueno这些对手 在1970年 她拿到了四大满贯的冠军 成为继 Maureen Connolly之後第二位达到这个成就的女网球员 而她在70年代连续生了三个小孩後 还是持续打球 (她在1971年甚至怀着第一个儿子打温网决赛) 最後她赢得了62座大满贯冠 军 其中包括24座单打冠军 这个纪录可以说没有任何女子选手有可能打破 她现在在澳洲柏 斯担任圣灵降临教派的牧师 30. Billie Jean King 跟两位澳洲传奇比起来 现在的球员真的是太幸福了 --
