在"Quest for Perfection"这本书里面 有一个描写Mirka的段落我看了很感动，也很喜欢 藉着今天Mirka生日的机会，跟大家分享 <以下内容引用自Rene Stauffer所着之"Quest for Perfection"，第43页> (我不知道要怎麽让Rene Stauffer同意我引用他的文章 >"< 如果有任何着作权疑义我会马上删除，请版大见谅) The 2001 US Open was her last great success on the tennis tour-with the exception of the Hopman Cup in Perth in January of 2002 where she was able to celebrate a victory over Argentina alongside her boyfriend. Shortly afterwards, at the age of 24, she played her last match on the WTA tour in Budapest. She was forced to have another operation and was once again on crutches. It was still quite some time until she finally realized that her career was really finished. Her record as a professional concluded with 202 victories and 159 defeats-including the lower-level challenger and satellite events-with overall earnings of $260,832. 2001年的美国网球公开赛是她取得职业生涯最後重要胜利的地方(除了2002年 1月在伯斯举办的霍普曼盃中，她和她的男朋友一起击败阿根廷拿下的胜利之外)。 不久之後，在她24岁那年，她在布达佩斯的WTA比赛中打了她职业生涯的最後一场 比赛。她被迫进行了另一次手术，并且再一次撑起了柺杖。过了好一段时间後她才 终於明白，她的职业生涯真的结束了。她的职业生涯纪录总结为202场胜利及159场 失败(这些纪录包括了较低等级的挑战赛及卫星赛)，她的职业生涯总奖金是美金 260,832元。 The abrupt and premature end of her career cast her into a depression. "It's not easy when you do something you like your entire life and then have to quit it from one day to the next," she said later in an interview at Wimbledon. "I fell into a deep hole. The most difficult part was when I was home for eight months and couldn't do anything. I had a lot of time to think and watch tennis on television. Roger was my greatest support back then. He gave my tennis life back to me. When he wins, it's as if I win as well." 职业生涯突然又仓卒的结束，让Mirka陷入了沮丧。"当你全部的生活都在做一件 你喜欢的事，然後从某一天开始你必须完全放弃，这真不是件容易的事"，她在之後 某次在温布顿接受的访问中说道。"我陷入了一个深渊。最困难的地方是，当我回家 待了八个月，而且什麽事情都不能做的时候。我有很多时间想东想西还有看电视上 转播的网球比赛。在那段时间里，Roger是我最大的支柱。他重新找回了我的网球生 命。当他赢的时候，我觉得好像我自己也赢了一样。" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mirka，生日快乐，你和Roger是命中注定要一起过一辈子的。 --
