Mirjana Lucic-Baroni Breaks Down in Tears During Presser http://0rz.tw/lZdnq Think that Mirjana Lucic-Baroni’s straight-sets upset over Simona Halep didn ’t mean a lot to her? Think again. The 32-year-old qualifier, who hadn’t reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam since 1999 when she went all the way to the Wimbledon semifinals, broke down in tears while talking to the press after her victory over world No. 2 Halep. Lucic-Baroni has been through a lot in her career. After her run at Wimbledon in ‘99, she went through personal and financial problems that eventually led to her taking a hiatus from the game in 2003. Most notable of Lucic-Baroni’s problems was that she suffered abuse from her father, which was well-documented at the time: After playing only two tournaments between 2004 and 2006, Lucic-Baroni returned to the game in 2007, and in 2010, after three years of toiling away in qualifiers and smaller events, she qualified for Wimbledon and made her first Grand Slam appearance since 2002. Since returning to Grand Slam play, Lucic-Baroni has suffered eleven first-round defeats and never reached beyond the third round at any Slam—until today. “I don’t know, I’m a little bit emotional,” she told reporters. “After so many years to be here again, it’s incredible. I wanted this so bad.” Lucic-Baroni will face Sara Errani in the fourth round. We suspect she’ll have a few people rooting for her. -- 1999年，当年16岁的Lucic打进温布顿四强，却揭露了长年受到父亲暴力相向的对待(连结 里有当年的新闻报导)。 这次打进第三轮也平了1999年温布顿以後大满贯最佳成绩(文中连续11个大满贯首轮出局应 是错误资讯?!)，赛後记者会她也感性的啜泣了，内有影片非常感人。希望她下一场能击败 Errani重回久违的16强赛事！ --
