这是八强赛前，澳网官网上的文章。 网址:http://ppt.cc/4CxR Cilic ready to come of age Tuesday 26 January 2010 By Matt Cronin Juan Martin del Potro broke out and won the 2009 US Open, but one of the up-and-comers he bested in New York, Croatian Marian Cilic, got a significant measure of revenge on him in Melbourne, chopping down the big Argentine in a marathon five-set win in the fourth round on Sunday. Juan Martin del Potro 大爆发并且赢得09年美网冠军，但是其中一个他在纽约力压 的後起之秀，克罗埃西亚的Cilic ，在墨尔本得到意义重大的一次复仇。在星期天五 盘马拉松十六强战击垮了他。 While he’s not favored to win the title, it’s possible that Cilic could go the same way that del Potro did in New York and win his first major. At 198cm, he has the size and the power to hit through anyone. He has one of the cleanest and hardest-to-read backhands down the line on tour, has plenty of pop on his serve, can whale a forehand, and doesn’t mind closing out points at the net. Cilic不是夺冠的热门，但他有可能走del Potro的路赢得他第一个大满贯冠军。以198 公分高的身材，他有力量与身材，他拥有最俐落与最难解读的反拍之一，发球有爆发 力，正拍能重捶，而且不介意在网前得分。 The 21-year-old could still put some more meat on his bones, but under the tutelage of Bob Brett, who coached Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic and is a disciple of the former Aussie Davis Cup coaching legend Harry Hopman, Cilic has filled out both physically and mentally. 这个21岁的年轻人还能再成长，但是在Bob Brett的教导下，Cilic已经在心理与生理 上更为成熟。Bob Brett 曾教导过温网冠军Goran Ivanisevic，并且是前澳洲台维斯 盃传奇教练Harry Hopman的徒弟。 “I think now I'm in a good position where I can look at myself, how I'm supposed to play,” Cilic said. “Definitely physical part is one thing that I improved a bit in this off?season. So that helps to play these long matches in a more consistent way. And also from the first few rounds, I had tough opponents, tough matches. So it just shows me how well I can play also, how well I'm prepared.” "我想我现在站在一个很好的位置，可以看清楚自己该怎麽比赛，"Cilic说道，"当然， 我在休季期间有加强我的体能，这帮助我在打很久的比赛里保持稳定。在前几轮里， 我也有些难打的选手，难打的比赛，所以这只是告诉我，我能打得多好，我准备得有 多好。" In 2004, Ivanisevic recommended that that the greenhorn Cilic go and work with Brett in San Remo, and although Cilic didn’t want to leave his friends and family in his hometown of Medjugorje, he knew he had little choice if he wanted to become a prime-time player. 2004年，Ivanisevic建议尚青涩的Cilic去San Remo与Brett合作，虽然Cilic 不想离 开在Medjugorje的朋友与家人，但是他知道，如果他想迈向巅峰，他没有选择。 “He was a very good 15-year-old who already had a great backhand,” said Brett, who also coached Wimbledon champion Boris Becker. “He was able to move a player around the court and dictate points, but not with a lot of power. He already had a good understanding of the court.” "他15岁就已经有很好的反拍，"Brett说，Brett也执教过温网冠军Boris Becker。 "他能满场调动对手，并且控制局面，但不用很多力量，他对赛场站位有很好的理解。" While Brett was critical to Cilic’s development, so was his father, Zdenko, a hard worker who rarely had time for sports when was growing up. Brett对於Cilic 的发展很关键，Cilic的父亲Zdenko也是，Zdenko是个勤奋的工作者， 成长过程里很少有机会接触运动。 “My father was determined that my older brothers, Vinko, Goran, and I would get the opportunity to play sport, as he did not get any opportunities growing up,” said Cilic, who began to play tennis at the age of seven. “The town had no tennis tradition prior to 1991, when the first tennis court was built. My friends and I were among the first to play on it.” "我父亲下定决心要让我哥哥Vinko ,Goran 还有我有机会接触运动，因为他成长过程 中没有这种机会，"Cilic说道，Cilic在 7岁的时候开始打网球。"这个地方在1991年 前没有网球传统，当第一个网球场盖好的时候，我朋友和我是第一个进去打球的人之 一。" Ivanisevic has predicted great things for Cilic, saying he “can be a future top 10 player easily”. He’s been prescient, as Cilic is already ranked No. 14, and when he leaves Melbourne, might already have made that jump. Ivanisevic早已预言Cilic，说他会是未来的top 10选手，他有先见之明，Cilic已经 排名14，而当他离开墨尔本的时候，或许已经达成了那个跃进。 Last year, Cilic won a career-high 48 matches and captured two titles, Chennai and Zagreb, and he began this season by impressively repeating as the titlist in Chennai. 去年，Cilic赢得生涯新高的48场比赛，并且获得两项冠军，清奈与Zagreb ，而他这 季以成功卫冕清奈冠军作为开始。 After upsetting Andy Murray but then falling to del Potro in New York last September, Cilic knew that he had to improve his conditioning and court stewardship. He needed five long sets to best Aussie teen Bernard Tomic in the second round, four sets to overcome 19th-seed Stan Wawrinka, and then five to outlast del Potro. He’s clearly coming of age. 经过去年九月，在纽约爆冷击败Andy Murray，接着输给del Potro，Cilic 知道他得 改善他的体能状态以及在场上的控管调整，在第二轮，他需要五盘胜出澳洲青少年 Bernard Tomic，需要四盘战胜19号种子Stan Wawrinka，接着用五盘淘汰del Potro， 他显然到了成熟的时候。 “Everybody has his own way,” he said. “But since the US Open, I started to play much better. To win against better guys more often. Here, I had some tough matches in the first few rounds, and also that gave me a little more in one way that I was hitting a lot of balls. But also physically-wise I was maybe a little bit skeptic what it was going to be. But [against del Potro] I felt really good physically, and that in the end was the main difference.” "每个人都有自己的路，" 他说。"但自从美网，我开始打得更好，更常打赢更好的选 手，在这里，我在前几轮有些苦战，那让我多打些球，我或许对体能状态会变如何有 点疑问，但是(与del Potro的比赛里)我觉得我体能良好，而那是最终的不同。" Brett has cautioned Cilic not to get overly excited with his wins, and not feel too down after his losses. Becoming a great player is all about process, learning the ins and outs of the tour and your opponent’s tendencies, as well as your own strengths and weaknesses. Cilic has improved a ton, but he’s still three matches from his first major title. He’ll face the experienced Andy Roddick on Tuesday, a heck of a fighter who has reached the Australian Open semi-finals four times and sees a clear path to his first final. Brett一直警惕Cilic不要因为胜利太过兴奋，也不要在输球之後太过难过。要成为一 位伟大的球员全然在於过程，从巡回赛中学习，从对手身上学习，也从自己的长处与 短处中学习。Cilic 已经进步很多，但是他距离他第一个大满贯冠军还有三场比赛的 距离。他将在星期二面对经验老到的Andy Roddick，Roddick 是一个斗士，已经打进 澳网准决赛四次并且能看见前往第一个决赛的道路。 If Cilic is going to take out the seventh seed, he had better be ready for a cage match, because Roddick relishes the battle. 如果Cilic想要淘汰这位七号种子，他最好为苦战做准备，因为Roddick享受战斗。 “I believe I'm going to be ready. I'm coming with good background.” Cilic said.“I played great matches, winning against del Potro also shows that I didn't go in that match, not to lose anything. I’ve come to quarters. Now I'm not going to let it go easy.” "我相信我准备好了，我会以好的状况应战。"Cilic说。 "我打过好比赛，赢过del Potro也代表我进入比赛并非没什麽好输，我已经来到八强， 现在我不会让机会白白溜走。" --
