Rafa Nadal成为第一位赢得澳洲公开赛的西班牙选手，在历经另一个和Roger Federer花 费超过四小时又二十三分五盘大战後。以7-5、3-6、7-6 (7-3)、3-6、6-2拿下比赛胜利。 After this win, Rafa has now won titles on all three surfaces following his repeated success at the French Open and his triumph against Federer in their thrilling encounter at Wimbledon last year. In winning in Melbourne, Rafa also became the first man to enjoy success on clay, grass and hardcourt since Andre Agassi. 在这场比赛过後，Rafa现在拥有在三种不同场地的冠军头衔，其中包括了他在法网取得的 连续胜利，和去年在温网和Federer令人兴奋的决赛胜利。在墨尔本拿下冠军的同时， Rafa也成为继Andre Agassi之後，又一位同时在红土、草地和硬地三种不同场地中取得胜 利的网球选手！ It is amazing to even begin to fathom how a human being can go 5 hours and 14 minutes of high-octane tennis, to the point of tears, only to then turn around and do it again in less than 48 hours later, with a 4 hour and 23 minute match. 让人感到不可思议的是，在前一场耗时五小时又十四分的高深度比赛中，Rafa花费了几乎 是全部的体力後(甚至在比赛中流下泪水), 在不到四十八小时之後，又能有如此的表现， 以四小时二十三分拿下今天的决赛胜利。 It is truly unbelievable how much heart and determination Rafael Nadal has, as he once again ripped Roger Federer’s heart right out of his chest, stopping him from tying tennis’ all-time mark of 14 major championships. 让更难相信的是Rafa Nadal为了这场比赛花费的心力和决心，再一次的让试着要拿下第十 四度大满贯的Roger Federer吓出一身冷汗。 In a ceremony that will not soon be forgotten by tennis fans all over the world , Rafa humbly apologized to Federer, as the Swiss champion couldn’t hold back a sea of tears. “I understand exactly how you feel,” Nadal told Federer. “You are a great champion and one of the best... you will improve the 14 (majors) of Pete Sampras.” The compassion and class Rafa displayed towards his rival, is a true testament of two great rivals and champions, respecting, admiring, and looking up to one another. 在一场即将让全球粉丝难以忘怀的颁奖典礼中，Rafa以谦逊的语气向因为无法如愿拿下十 四度大满贯泪流满面的瑞士球王，Federer，说抱歉。Rafa对Federer说“我能了解你现 在的感觉，你是最伟大的一位冠军，也是我看过最好的一位选手。你将会和Pete Sampras 一样拿下第十四个大满贯头衔的。”Rafa对他的对手流露出来的不舍和气度，是两位一直 以来相互尊敬、欣赏、和扶持对方不断成长网坛上最可敬的竞争者和冠军最真实可贵的约 定。 Rafa showed the occasional sign of fatigue from that five-setter, having his right thigh massaged after the seventh and ninth games of the third set. But with the adrenaline pumping and Federer tightening up in the fifth-set decider, Rafa dug deep to record his famous win. Both players fought tooth and nail from the first ball, forcing each other to find that extra shot time and time again. 在第三盘的第五局时Rafa开始有疲惫的现象，然後在第七局和第九局时接受了按摩右大腿 的场边申请。但由於比赛的气氛不断上升和Federer在决胜盘时的紧张情绪，使得Rafa能 发挥出他的比赛水准，奠定了最後的胜利。两位选手从发球成功开始的第一球开始就拼命 的回击，迫使双方都要不停的寻找可以回击的击球时间。 THE MATCH The match started with both exchanging early breaks of service until Rafa pulled ahead with a further break to claim the advantage. 在比赛一开始，双方都互破发球局，直到Rafa率先拿下破发的优势。 The second set followed a similar pattern, with an early exchange of breaks, but this time it was the Swiss ace who edged it as Rafa netted to lose a marathon eighth game. 在第二盘中，除了一开始的破发之外，也是像第一盘一样的互破模式。但在这一次，是 Federer的ace球取得先机，让Rafa在这一盘八局如同马拉松的比赛中失利。 Federer looked to be getting on top and had no less than six break points on Rafa's service in the third set, the Spaniard coming back from 0-40 down in a pivotal service game. 在第三盘的比赛中，Federer的比赛水准渐渐升高，而且拥有六个破发球点，最後 西班牙选手Rafa从0-40的落後，提升比赛水准拿下最重要的发球局。 In the tiebreak it was Rafa who pulled ahead again, reaching set point with a rare volleyed winner and sealing it as Federer double faulted. 在抢七决胜局，Rafa再次取得领先的局面，接着在盘末点，Rafa以一个在这场比赛中罕见 的截击致胜球逼出盘末点，後然因为Federer的双误，拿下第三盘。 Federer showed his fighting qualities to force a decider, but once again it was his nemesis Rafa who proved the stronger despite spending nearly 10 hours on court in his final two matches. 接着，Federer又打出了他的攻击水准拿下了重要的第四盘。但是，紧接而来的是，尽管 在他最後两天的比赛中，在球场上消耗将近十小时的比赛时间的Rafa，证明了自己是有更 强大的体力，拿下来最後第五盘的大逆转。赢得澳网最後的冠军！ CONGRATULATIONS RAFA! :) -- 为有点努力的自己加油、打气！ --
