Not this one. 她们之前六次会战都以两盘决定。这次不是。 On a warm humid evening at the Khalifa Stadium here Wednesday, the second day of the WTA Championships, Vera Zvonareva of Russia finally overcame an ailing Ana Ivanovic, 6-3,6-7 (5-7), 6-4 in a long duel. 在礼拜三温暖潮湿的Khalifa Stadium，年终赛第二天，Z娃最终打败身体不适 的Ana。 Later on Wednesday, Venus Williams defeated Elena Dementieva, 6-4, 4-6,6-3, in a slow-paced match. 之後大威在缓慢进行的比赛打败戴娃。 Williams defeated the world No. 2, Dinara Safina, 7-5, 6-3, on Tuesday. The Russian who has made rapid progress up the ranking list this year, led 5-2 before Venus staged one her audacious comebacks, cracking winners from the back court. Safina is making little headway with either Williams sister. On Wednesday night, she lost to Serena Williams, 6-4, 6-1. 莎妹又输给小威。 The victory was the second in succession for Zvonareva, the last player to qualify for this eight player field and it virtually guarantees that she will advance from the White round robin group to reach the knockout semifinals on Saturday. 这是Z娃的第二场胜利，已经一脚踏进礼拜六的决赛。 For Ivanovic, the French Open champion who briefly became No. 1 in the world in the summer, this defeat means certain elimination even though she still has one match to play. The dizzy spell she suffered from while losing to a fellow Serb, Jelena Jankovic, on Tuesday recurred toward the end of the first set and she needed to undergo a courtside test for her blood pressure at 2-4 and breakpoint down. 对拿了法网冠军并短暂登上世界第一的Ana而言，这次败仗几乎确定她不会前 进四强。礼拜二输给JJ时发作的晕眩，在第一盘快结束时又发作，在2-4及破 发点时，在场边她量了血压。 She seemed to shake off the problem pretty quickly; saving that breakpoint with a thundering forehand to win the game. But she was already a break down. 看来她非常快抖落了问题；以闪电般的正手拍拯救了破发点并赢得比赛。但她 已经被破发过。 After the match, Ivanovic admitted she had been feeling ill ever since arriving Qatar. "I don't like to complain, but I had pain in my throat for several days and then felt dizzy and light headed on court," she said. "I couldn't eat much, so I am lacking energy. But I wanted to fight and I still had chances at the end." 赛後，Ana承认她从到达卡达时就就感觉病厌厌。"我不喜欢抱怨，但是我喉咙 痛了几天，在场上我感到晕眩和有点头痛，"她说。"我不能吃太多，所以我缺 乏能量。但是我想奋斗而我直到最後仍有机会。" She was surprised to have her blood pressure taken on court. "I don't know why they did that," she said, laughing. "It made me feel even more sick!" 她很惊讶她在场上得量血压。"我不知道为什麽他们要这麽做，"她大笑说。"那 让我觉得更虚弱!" Technically it is still possible for Ivanovic to qualify from her group. 理论上，Ana还是有机会从小组脱颖而出。 "But it will take a miracle," she said. "But I have a day off, so I will try unless I cannot get out of bed! "不过那需要奇蹟，"她说。"但我可以休息一天，所以我会继续尝试，除非我起不 了床!" The second set turned into a scrappy, often thrilling affair between these two women who were never afraid to go for their shots. 第二盘变成乱打秀，惊悚处在於这两个女人都不害怕在她们的击球冒险。 Ivanovic was often to be found up at the net behind forceful approaches on the forehand to score on the volley. However a double fault cost her a break to leave Zvonareva serving for the set at 5-4 - an opportunity the Russian couldn't take as Ivanovic piled on the pressure. Ana通常强势上网在网前截击得分。然而双发失误让她被破发，并让Z娃在5-4时为 制胜局发球-然而Ana累积了压力让俄罗斯人没有拿走机会。 Ivanovic raced away to a 4-1 lead in the tiebreak. But she slapped horribly at a volley to allow her opponent to close at 5-5 and then grabbed another mini-break with a glorious forehand cross court winner. Ana在起七得到4-1领先。但她网前打烂掉让她的对手追到5-5，然後以极佳的正手 穿越取得小破发。 That enabled her to level the match by taking the tie break 7-5 but the tall Serb quickly fell behind 0-3 in the third set as her concentration seemed to desert her. 那让Ana7-5赢得抢七，但是很快又以0-3在第三盘落後，看来她的专注力离她而去。 Ivanovic produced some her best tennis of the match to break back from 3-5 down, winning the first point of the game with a backhand hit from a crouching position and following with a brilliant backhand drop volley. Ana在3-5落後时打了他最好的网球破回一局，低姿势反手拍加上极佳反手急坠小 球赢得第一点。 Amid mounting excitement, Zvonareva battled to maintain her poise in the 10th game and was rewarded as Ivanovic went into self-destruct mode once again, double faulting for 15-40 and then netting a forehand on the Russian's second match point. 在增长的兴奋中，在第10局Z娃奋斗着维持她的稳定，并在Ana自爆模式又启动时 获得回报，双误变成15-40，然後在俄罗斯人第二个赛点时正手拍挂网。 --
