"Maria and Victoria have had outstanding seasons with each earning Grand Slam titles, the WTA World No.1 ranking and Olympic medals, highlighted by Maria achieving her career Grand Slam. Sara and Roberta have been the stand-out doubles pair this year, winning seven titles including their first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros." WTA主席特别恭喜以上四人入选，并赞扬他们在本赛季的杰出表现 特别是莎娃完成了生涯大满贯 以及义大利组合囊括法网在内的七座冠军。 "We are delighted that Victoria, Maria, Sara and Roberta have qualified for the second staging of the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships - Istanbul, which launched with such great success last year in Turkey," commented Ayda Uluc, Turkish Tennis Federation President. "We are planning to raise the bar even higher at this year's event and look forward to showcasing the talents of these extraordinary players to fans in Istanbul and around the world." 土耳其网联的主席则没有特别赞颂莎娃的伟大。 Azarenka got off to a blistering 26-0 start to the year, the longest win streak to start a season since Martina Hingis went 37-0 to kick off her 1997 season. It brought Azarenka four WTA titles, including her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open - it also brought her the No.1 ranking for the first time. "This year has been amazing for me so far, starting by winning the Australian Open, becoming WTA World No.1 for the first time and winning two medals at the Olympics," Azarenka said. "Last year, the atmosphere at the WTA Championships in Istanbul was great and I look forward to playing there again." Aza 年初表现还可以。 The highlight of Sharapova's season was winning her fourth Grand Slam title at the French Open, a victory that completed a career Grand Slam for her, just the sixth woman in the Open Era (and 10th all-time) to achieve the feat. It also brought her back to No.1 for four weeks, her first time at No.1 since 2008. 莎娃在法网拿下了第四座大满贯赛冠军，是开放年代第六位（史上第十位）完成生涯大满 贯的女子选手，这也让她在2008後，首度回到世界第一达四周之久。 "I am very happy to be returning to Istanbul," Sharapova said. "This year has been really special for me, winning the Roland Garros title to complete my career Grand Slam, rising back to No.1 for a time and of course taking home a silver medal from the London Olympics. It will be great to finish off the season in Turkey. We received such incredible support from the fans last year, so I'm looking forward to competing against the world's best players there once again." 「能回到伊斯坦堡很开心，今年对我来说非常特别，拿下法网、完成生涯大满贯、回到世 界第一，又於伦敦奥运把银牌带回家，能在土耳其结束这个赛季应该很赞，去年球迷非常 支持我们，所以我盼望能再一次成为世界最佳球员。」莎娃如是说。 Errani and Vinci have won seven WTA doubles titles this year, including their first Grand Slam doubles title at the French Open - they were the first all-Italian pair to win a Grand Slam doubles title. This coming Monday Errani and Vinci will be to No.1 and No.2 in doubles, respectively, career-highs for both. Errani & Vinci本季拿下了包含法网在内的七座WTA冠军，而且是史上第一对拿下大满贯 赛双打冠军的全义大利组合，下周Errani与Vinci分别会成为世界第一和第二，都是她们 的生涯新高。 "We are so happy, so excited, to have qualified for the WTA Championships," Vinci said of the news. "We've played very good tennis this year and this is the reward. I was at the WTA Championships a long time ago, back in 2001, but it is even more special for me to do this with such a good friend as Sara. The level of competition in doubles has become even tougher over the last decade, so we are looking forward to some great matches at Istanbul this year." 「我们超开心、超兴奋能入选年终赛～！」 「这是今年我们表现超好的回报！虽然好久以前（2001）就打过年终了，但是现在能和 好朋友Sara一起做到更是特别，十年来双打竞争程度也越来越高，所以希望今年在伊斯 坦堡能打出好比赛罗～」 Vinci是这麽说的。 --
