The two had previously announced their intentions to partner with each other in the new mixed-doubles event at the London Olympics this summer. "快记起来 这是真的!"小威在twitter上这样打 Andy跟Serena都曾在twitter上确认他们将一起参加奥运的混双比赛 Williams, who has won 12 Grand Slam doubles titles with her sister, has not played competitive mixed doubles since the Hopman Cup in 2008, winning the team competition with Mardy Fish. Early in her career, Williams played mixed doubles at the four major events frequently, and with considerable success, winning Wimbledon and the United States Open in 1998 with the Belarussian Max Mirnyi. After she won her maiden Grand Slam title at the 1999 United States Open, however, Williams restricted her Slam workload to singles and sporadic women’s doubles with Venus. 小威拿过12座大满贯双打冠军 上一次出战混双是2008年霍普曼盃 与Mardy Fish搭档夺冠 早年他也经常参加混双比赛 拿过1998的温网和美网 但自从1999美网夺得单打首冠後 小威将重心放在单打 偶尔与姐姐打打双打 “I think it will be really fun,” Williams said of the partnership with Roddick. “I actually practiced next to Andy, but we were both so focused on our singles practice that I didn’t even get to talk to him too much today. “I hit the worst volley today and I was a little worried. I was like, ‘He might want to get a new partner.’ We’ll see how it goes.” 小威说: "一定会很好玩! 今天我就在他隔壁练习 但我们训练都专注在单打 我甚至今天没跟他讲到很多话 我今天打了一个糟透了的截击 我还担心他会不会想找个新搭档了 看看接下来表现怎样吧!" Roddick has not played doubles of any kind at a Grand Slam event since Wimbledon in 2001, and he has never played mixed at a sanctioned tournament. His only experience playing the format has come in World TeamTennis and exhibition matches. Roddick从2001之後就没在大满贯没过双打了 也从来没参加过混双 唯一的混双经验是在WTT的表演赛 “I think it will be fun,” Roddick said Sunday. “I want to be sure to do over the next couple years some of the things that I’ve always wanted to but haven’t been able to do. Serena and I have been friends for a really long time.” Roddick说: "我觉得一定会很好玩 接下来这几年我想做一些 我一直以来都想做但没机会做的事情 Serena跟我真的是超久的麻吉了" Shortly before Williams announced their Australian Open partnership on Twitter in September, Roddick tweeted a photo of himself and Williams, a 27-time Grand Slam champion, with the message, “I love this girl.” 小威在九月宣布这消息之後 Roddick马上就传了一张他跟小威的合照 还附带说 "我爱这女孩!" http://mit.zenfs.com/218/2011/09/roddick-serena.jpg Asked if she was in the mixed-doubles tournament to win it, Williams replied in the affirmative, grinning. “I am,” she said. “And he better be.” 被问到参赛的目标是不是夺冠 小威回答: "当然! 他最好也是!" --
