Sponsors lining up to sign Stosur Linda Pearce/November 15, 2011 POWERED by the grand slam singles prize Sam Stosur had coveted, the auxiliary benefits are now starting to flow. While not quite in the league of French Open champion Li Na, who has signed sponsorship contracts reportedly exceeding $40 million since winning her maiden major in June, Stosur is set to announce several lucrative deals in the coming months. 赢得大满贯冠军带来的影响开始发酵 如同李娜夺得法网冠军 获得超过四千万元的赞助合约 美网冠军Stosur也将在接下来几个月 签下几笔利多的合约 ''It's definitely been a benefit for a lot of players that have won [slams] in the past,'' the US Open champion said. ''I'm not expecting anything to happen like Li Na, that's just ridiculous what's going on. But, I mean, this has probably been the busiest couple of months [manager Paul Kilderry] has ever had, so hopefully it will all come out with some good deals.'' Sam 说:曾赢得大满贯冠军的球员，在讲价时(误)会比较有优势。 我不认为自己能像李娜一样，那样太夸张了。但接下来一两个月， 对我的经纪人Paul来说，可能会是最忙碌的，希望到时候，能有几 笔不错的交易。 Kilderry confirmed yesterday that ''there's one or two pending'', to add to existing commercial arrangements with Lacoste, Babolat, Oakley, Jetstar, McCain, Orix and Usana Health Sciences. But he insisted new backers would be selected carefully from the growing band of commercial suitors so as not to distract Stosur from the main game. 经纪人Paul Kilderry 昨天(11/14)证实，有一两项赞助新合约， 会加入现有的赞助商 (鳄鱼、百保力、太阳眼镜、捷星亚航、 麦肯食品、欧力士、优莎纳药品...等)行列，但他坚持会以不干 扰Sam 的比赛为主，去筛选这些新赞助商。 ''The US Open was great, and it has generated a lot more interest globally in Sam from sponsors and there's certainly been a lot of things come across my desk,'' Kilderry said. ''It's more just about choosing the right things; you can chase money all around the world in tennis, but is it what's best for your tennis? 经纪人表示，美网冠军带来各方对 Sam的赞助兴趣，是全球性的， 比起选得正确，你还能到世界各地赚更多钱，但不表示这对你的网 球生涯有助益。 ''There's been interest from everywhere to be honest, and more people want her time, and more tournaments want her to play their events, so it's just balancing all that. So there's a lot of opportunities all the time, it's more just finding the ones that also fit your schedule and are very balanced with what she wants to achieve - and she's very focused on potentially becoming No. 1 in the world.'' Paul补充，老实说，机会很多，很多人要她空出时间，更多的赛事 要求Sam 去当班底，所以要找到能切合WTA 赛程，同时又能兼顾Sam 想达成的目标 - 成为世界第一。(惊!) He said the new endorsements would be significant. ''They are what any grand slam champion would be getting. She's been in the top 10 two years in a row, but winning a grand slam takes everything to another level. Every facet's changed because being a grand slam champion carries with it so much more. Even though she was a finalist last year, to actually break through and win one's been pretty significant for her.'' 他说，新的赞助商来头不小，它们一直致力於拿到任何大满贯冠军的 合约，Sam 连两年排名收在Top10 里，获得美网冠军又将此成就推向 另一层次，它改变了一切，纵使Sam 去年已获得法网亚军，但能真正 突破夺冠，对她来说意义重大。 Having finished the season at No. 6 and with official prizemoney for the year of $3.73 million, Stosur is spending her post-season break at her new home in Sydney before a December exhibition debut in Singapore. She is scheduled to contest the upgraded Brisbane International from January 1, then complete her Australian Open lead-up in Sydney. 今年Sam排名以第6名作收，总奖金达373万美元，赛季结束後，Sam 一直呆在雪梨的新家休息，12月去新加坡参加表演赛。接下来就是 澳网系列赛了。 Meanwhile, Open tournament director Craig Tiley has confirmed that Damir Dokic will be denied a Melbourne Park accreditation should he request it, despite his recent reconciliation with daughter Jelena. Dokic snr was banned from WTA tournaments after a string of ugly incidents a decade ago, and although the grand slams are not strictly bound by tour rules, Tiley said the Australian Open, WTA and ATP ''support each other with regards to eligibility for accreditation. Based on this, Damir would not receive accreditation.'' 题外话，澳网赛会总监Craig Tiley基於Dokic父亲过往恶行，以及 考量赛会种种规定，仍将他拒於澳网门外，即使父女俩已言归於好。 http://tinyurl.com/7lp7xv5 希望新加坡表演赛有转播 ~ --
