米尔紮被迫与佩斯战奥运混双 愤怒成印度网协牺牲品 伦敦奥运在即，各国网协对於双打、混双的配对也花足心思。印度网协 为了让佩斯能代表印度出战男双，承诺将把米尔紮作为她的混双搭档一起征 战伦敦奥运。印度网协此举引起了米尔紮本人极大的反感，她表示作为21世 纪的女子，已经不再是男性的附属品了。 　　虽然世界排名大跌，但获得外卡青睐的米尔紮还是会出现在奥运女双赛 场。不过印度网协对於男双球员之间的协调就出现了大问题。由於布帕蒂和 布帕纳将连袂出战，并拒绝与佩斯在奥运会搭档，因此印度网协就向佩斯承 诺只要他愿意与瓦尔汉合作参加男双，就将把米尔紮作为他的混双搭档。显 然印度网协对於佩斯的承诺并没有得到米尔紮的首肯，这也直接导致印度美 女的勃然大怒。 　　“作为一名身处21世纪的印度妇女，当我得知自己成为印度网球平息球 员之间纷争的诱饵时，我真的感到非常的失望。”在一项声明中米尔紮说道 ，“尽管对於能成为佩斯的混双搭档我感到相当荣幸和自豪，但在这个时机 以这种方式公布，却会让印度的大男子主义思想进一步恶化。”米尔紮补充 道：“作为一名曾经两次赢得大满贯冠军的球员，我在过去十年无论在单打 还是双打也都是处於印度的一姐地位。遗憾的是他们却未能对我展示足够的 尊重，只是为了诱使一名男选手与他本不想搭档的球员一起出战奥运，就把 我作为一种补偿。这是对印度女性形象有着极大的损害。” 　　米尔紮同时认为自己有选择搭档的权利。由於佩斯的父亲曾贬低米尔紮 ，显然印度美女更愿意与本国另一位双打巨头布帕蒂合作。两人在刚刚结束 的法网上就问鼎混双冠军，而且他们俩之间显然已经有共同为印度赢得混双 冠军的决心。“在我的职业生涯中我曾非常幸运的来到单打世界27位，仅次 於两位男单前辈阿 姆利则(16位)以及克里斯南(23位)过去曾创下的记录。” 米尔紮回顾自己的职业生涯时说，“我双打最高排名曾达到过第7位。更只有 佩斯和布帕蒂两位传奇球手曾做的比我更好。另外我也是除了他们俩以外印 度仅有的大满贯冠军得主，因此我认为自己具备足够的底气让印度网协向我 展示更多的尊重。” 　　米尔紮在最後抱怨道：“遗憾的是在三周前我刚刚拿下个人第二座大满 贯冠军奖盃时，印度网协也没有想过给我发来祝贺。如今他们又想以这种方 式拆散我们这对刚刚拿下大满贯冠军的混双搭档，真的是让人感到震惊以及 难以置信。” ※ 引述《erickin (阿更)》之铭言： : Mirza大反击！！！这篇是英文版原文， : 她在文中有些段落是指名写给印度网协、Paes、Paes父亲和Bhupathi看的。 : 下面一篇再来回在新浪看到的简译版。 : Sania Mirza's letter: Full text : New Delhi: Here is the full text of Sania Mirza's letter in which she hits : out at the All India Tennis Association (AITA), Leander Paes, his father Dr. : Vece Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi for their roles in the tennis crisis. : I feel absolutely thrilled and emotionally overwhelmed to have qualified to : represent India at the Olympics in London. I am extremely grateful to the : International Tennis Federation for the faith they have reposed in me by : giving me a wild card entry that gives me a cherished opportunity to : represent my country at the Olympics for the second time in my life. : While, of course, nobody in the world can guarantee winning a medal in : London, I can promise that I shall leave no stone unturned to bring glory to : my beloved country. : I have to admit that helplessly watching the sport that I love and : passionately play, go through extremely trying times in my country in the : last few days and the unusual pressures that I was personally subjected to : have left me shaken and disturbed. But I can assure all my countrymen that I : shall never allow these difficult circumstances to come in the way of giving : my very best when the Games begin. : Since the day AITA announced the team for the Olympics a lot of questions : have been raised by friends, colleagues, their parents and of course, by the : media. As I thought these questions were purely hypothetical without my : having qualified into the London Olympics, I did not think it was appropriate : for me to respond to them at that point of time. However, now that I am : officially a part of the greatest sporting event in the world, I think it is : imperative for me to clarify my feelings. : To Dr. Vece Paes, who has on camera asked me to give in writing about my : intention of partnering his son for the mixed doubles event at the Olympics, : I would like to point out that my commitment is to my country. For the sake : of India I am committed to play with Leander Paes or Mahesh Bhupathi or Rohan : Bopanna or Somdev Devvarman or Vishnu Vardhan or any other person that my : country feels I am good enough to partner. There should never ever be a : question on this although if asked, I am entitled to have my preferences. I : will do everything i possibly can to win a medal for Inda. : To Leander Paes I would like to point out that Vishnu Vardhan is an extremely : talented player, who I had the privilege of partnering. We went on to win a : silver medal for India at the 2010 Asian Games, when all the three male : stalwarts of Indian tennis had opted to stay away from Guangzhou. I am : convinced that he can go one better when pitted with someone as good as : Leander as partner. For Leander to consider partnering with Vishnu only if he : has a written assurance from me to play mixed (as Vece Uncle has suggested in : his television interviews) is, I think demeaning for me, Vishnu and Leander : Paes. : Mahesh Bhupathi has firmly stood by his commitment to play together with his : men's doubles partner, Rohan Bopanna as he genuinely believed it was good for : India. However, in the process, he sacrificed the commitment he made to me to : try and win an Olympic medal together for India. Each person has his or her : own priorities and I would like to believe that Mahesh made his choice in : the best interests of the country. : As an Indian woman belonging to the 21st century, what I find disillusioning : is the humiliating manner in which I was put up as a bait to try and pacify : one of the disgruntled stalwarts of Indian tennis. While I feel honored and : privileged to have been chosen to partner Leander Paes, the manner and timing : of the announcement wreaks of male chauvinism where a two time Grand Slam : champion, who has been India's number 1 women's tennis player for almost a : decade in singles and doubles is offered in compensation to partner one of : the feuding champions purely in order to lure him into accepting to play with : a men's player he does not wish to play with! This kind of blatant : humiliation of Indian womanhood needs to be condemned even if it comes from : the highest controlling body of tennis in our country. : I have been fortunate to achieve a career best singles ranking of 27 in the : world that has been only bettered by Vijay Amritraj (16) and Ramesh Krishnan : (23) even amongst the men in the modern era. I have a career best doubles : ranking of 7 in the world, which only Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have : bettered. I am the only Grand Slam champion from India apart from Mahesh and : Leander. I believe I can expect a little more respect from the National : Tennis Federation than what has been accorded to me even if they did not : think it necessary to send me a simple congratulatory message after I had won : my second Grand Slam title 3 weeks ago. : What is even more shocking is the manner in which facts have been : misrepresented to the public at large to paint a totally wrong picture in an : attempt to justify the breaking up of a team that won a second Grand Slam : title only days earlier. Leander and I are not the only combination likely to : get a direct entry into the mixed doubles draw at the Olympics, as has been : wrongly portrayed. If that was true, a highly intelligent man like Dr. Paes : would not have felt insecure enough to ask for my written declaration to : partner Leander. AITA, itself would not have needed to write a letter to Mr. : Randhir Singh giving details of the final pairings and clarifying that these : could not be changed without the written permission of the IOA! : I would like to reiterate that I consider it the ultimate honour to represent : India to the best of my abilities at the Olympics and I will do everything I : possibly can with whosoever I am partnered with. This has always been my : stand and this will never change. I only seek the blessings of the people of : our beloved country. Nothing more. : SANIA MIRZA : ※ 引述《erickin (阿更)》之铭言： : : 这件事真的比肥皂剧还要好看 >///<" (我好八卦) : : Paes对於Bhupathi和Bopanna这种类似勒索的举动最终成功非常不爽， : : 也有传言指Paes要印度网协出书面通告保证奥运Mirza一定要和他配。 : : 文中有提到Mirza的首选是Bhupathi，两人搭档之前拿过澳网和今年法网， : : 但Mirza不介意和Paes配，两人拿过2006亚运金牌； : : 另外如果Mirza能拿外卡的话女双会和Chakravarty搭， : : 印度也替正在养伤的Devvarman申请男单外卡。 : : 印度网协也提到派出两队男双是基本目前情况考量，这样才不会损害印度夺牌希望， : : 不过也提到在奥运後会对Bhupathi和Bopanna采取适当行动。 : : AITA picks two teams for Olympics, Paes still unhappy : : The All India Tennis Association (AITA) Thursday tried to keep Mahesh : : Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna happy by deciding to send two doubles teams to the : : Olympics as they demanded and gave an assurance to Leander Paes that he would : : partner Sania Mirza in the mixed doubles. : : Paes, who is asked to partner youngster Vishnu Vardhan in the men's doubles, : : is far from pleased with AITA bowing to the "black-mailing tactics" of : : Bhupathi and Bopanna and letting them pair up. : : Paes's father Vece Paes said it was not a justified decision and a source : : close to the family told IANS that the top-ranked Indian in doubles has asked : : for a written assurance from the AITA that Mirza won't back off at the last : : moment for Bhupathi. : : Sania and Bhupathi recently won the French Open. : : AITA president Anil Khanna also admitted that the decision was unfair on Paes : : and appropriate action would be taken against Bhupathi and Bopanna after the : : Olympics. : : Khanna said the final recommendations have been made as Thursday was the : : deadline for sending the Olympic entries to the International Tennis : : Federation (ITF). : : "The AITA agrees that this decision is unfair to India No.1 and World No.7 : : Leander Paes. The AITA holds Leander in very high esteem and appeals to him : : to accept the decision in the best interest of the nation," said Khanna. : : Asked if Paes has sought any assurances from Sania, Khanna said: "Sania is no : : one to give an assurance. Her qualification depends only on a wildcard. And : : we have sent all the nominations and they cannot be changed without the : : approval of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA)." : : Sania's preferred partner was Bhupathi, but she had informed AITA that she : : would play with Paes if asked to do so. Sania, if eligible, will also partner : : Rushmi Chakravarty in the women's doubles. The AITA has also applied for a : : wild card for Somdev Devvarman in the men's singles event. : : Khanna said sending two men's doubles teams was not the best decision on : : "tennis grounds" but the association was left with no option as any other : : decision would hamper India's medal prospects. : : "AITA admits that the decision of pairing Mahesh and Rohan on tennis grounds : : alone may not be the best. However, in the given circumstances, this is the : : most appropriate decision," said Khanna. : : Khanna also said the decision was arrived at after consulting AITA's honorary : : life president S.M. Krishna, who is also India's external affairs minister. : : "Mr. Krishna's guidance and approval helped the AITA to arrive at the : : decision," said Khanna. : : In fact, Krishna played the key role in convincing Paes to pair-up with : : Vishnu and end the week-long drama over the selection. : : Krishna spoke with Paes early Thursday morning and convinced him to pair with : : Vishnu for the sake of the nation. : : "Mr. Krishna personally spoke with Leander in the morning and told him that : : he should make some sacrifice for the sake of the nation. The AITA hopes : : Leander will now give Vishnu achance to play his first Olympics," AITA : : secretary-general Bharat Oza told IANS. : : Khanna concurred and said the decision of sending two teams was taken after : : consulting Krishna, a tennis player himself. : : Khanna felt that Paes will soften his stand and partner with Vardhan. : : "We have taken a very calculated risk. But I hope he will make some sacrifice : : for the sake of the nation and also give two Indians their first chance to : : play in the Olympics," said Khanna. : : Khanna said AITA expects the players to accept the decision graciously that : : has been taken after due deliberations. : : "AITA now expects all the players to graciously accept the decision which has : : been taken after due consultation and deliberations in the best interest of : : the players and the nation," he said. : : Khanna also remained hopeful that six players would be representing India at : : the Olympics. It will be the biggest ever Indian participation in Olympic : : tennis. : : "In case Sania is given a wildcard on June 28 this decision may help six : : players to represent the country in the Olympics which will be the largest : : ever in tennis in Olympics from India," he said. --
