Stosur eyes greater heights in 2013 Gold Coast, Australia, 09 November 2012 | AAP Despite falling short of her goals during 2012, Sam Stosur will be gunning for more Grand Slam glory and a world top three ranking within the next 12 months. It would mean improving the world No.9′s losing record in finals or adding another grand slam to her US Open victory in 2011. Sam下一季的目标是改善在决赛中的软手症 希望能再次问鼎大满贯 “Overall, finishing No.9 in the world, it’s still pretty good,” said the 28-year-old Queenslander during a break from her grinding tennis schedule. “It’s not as high as I wanted it to be, that’s for sure. But taking a break and reflecting, parts of my game have improved and others can still improve.” " 总结来说，以第九名结束赛季也算不错。纵使这排名和我的期望有落差， 但事过境迁後回想，我在某些部分已经有改进，当然还有其他待改进的。" Stosur, who said a top-three ranking was achievable, wants to especially improve on her poor Australian summer. This year, she was bundled out of the Brisbane and Sydney Internationals in the second and first rounds respectively. Stosur then suffered a straight-sets first-round loss at the Australian Open, a tournament where she has only twice progressed beyond the third round. Sam觉得排名提升至前三名是有可能的，但她特别想在惨淡的澳洲赛季取得好成绩。 今年她分别在布里斯本及雪梨赛的第二轮和首轮出局。接着澳网以直落二败北， 她过去最好的成绩只有两次超过第三轮。 “The last couple of months, I’ve lost a lot of really close matches 7-5 in the third (or) 7-6 in the third,” she said. “I’m right there. If you win half of those, all of a sudden your year looks a lot better and you’ve won a couple of tournaments. “I put far too much pressure on myself in the Aussie summer because I really, really wanted to do well. You only get the opportunity to play at home for a few weeks and I probably built it up too big and didn’t handle the occasions on court very well at all.” " 过去两个月，我输掉很多比分接近的比赛，像第三盘的7-5或7-6。要是我当初赢下 来，整个赛季成绩看起来就好看多了，还能拿两个冠军头衔。" " 我在澳洲赛季给自己很多压力，我真的很想在这里有好成绩。因为只有一年当中只 有几周的机会能在自家比赛，我可能想的太远，在场上没能掌控情势。" Stosur won 44 of her 66 matches in 2012 and senses she is still capable of capturing another Grand Slam title. Sam今年参加66场比赛，赢下其中的44场，这让她感觉仍有能力挑战大满贯。 “Now that I’ve done it once, you have to think ‘why can’t it happen again? ’,” she said. “It was a great two weeks, I played unbelievable tennis and obviously that final (against Serena Williams in New York) was everything you want a Grand Slam final to be. “You do it once, you want to believe you can do it again.” " 我已经拿过大满贯，我会告诉自己，没理由不再拿一次。去年美网是很棒的两周， 我打的不可思议，美网决赛的态势，完全就是我想要的样子。我曾成就一回，我想 相信还有第二次的机会。" Stosur returned to her former school on the Gold Coast on Friday, where about 600 excited students from Gaven State High at Oxenford formed a guard of honour. She was able to draw on personal examples while speaking to the crowd about setting goals and achieving them. Sam上周五回到她在Gold Coast的母校，有六百名的学生欢迎她的到来，她向学生们 分享自己的目标，以及如何成就它。 Being a foundation student when the school opened in 1995, Stosur’s goals were placed in a time capsule which was opened a few years ago. Her goals included being a professional tennis player by 2010 and playing in a grand slam, travelling the world, being world No.1 (she has been as high as fourth) and playing at the Olympics (which she has done three times). 她小时候放在时光胶囊里的愿望，在几年前被打开，她当时的目标包括 成为排名第一的职业网球手(最高排名来到世界第四)，参加大满贯，在 世界各地旅行，以及征战奥运(目前已参加三次)。 http://tinyurl.com/d5d3zbe -----脸书照片分隔线----- http://tinyurl.com/csaakgd I went to my old Primary School today, they had a welcome message for me on the board at the entrance 今天回到以前的母校，他们在校门口的跑马灯，送上欢迎的讯息。 http://tinyurl.com/cxutr56 With the Gaven State School, School Captains.
