明年WTA要大幅度变动赛制 这篇是ESPN上面的简介文章 转来跟大家分享 1. Premier tournaments The WTA tournaments below the Grand Slams are currently divided into four groups: Tier I, Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV. Officially, there will be just two next year -- premier and international events. 目前的WTA巡回赛是分为四级 明年只会分成两级: premier跟international Unofficially, however, the premier events will consist of four distinct types: mandatory (all eligible players must play), premier five (seven of the top 10), premier (two to three of the top six marquee players), and open (no minimum or maximum commitment because the events are a week before a Grand Slam or the year-end championships -- expect a feast-or-famine situation). 其中premire会再细分为mandatory (top选手绝对必须参加) premier5 (top10选手要有七位参加).premier(2-3位top6参加) open(不限制参加 只在大满贯或年终赛前一周有) Mandatory events: Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Beijing Premier five: Dubai, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati and Tokyo Premier: Paris indoors, Charleston, Stuttgart, Stanford, Los Angeles and Tokyo Premier open: Sydney, Berlin, Eastbourne, New Haven and Moscow 以上是分级的赛事名称 2. International tournaments These will be a minor league of sorts for the tour, as only one of the top 20 will be allowed to participate in each event. Top players will be able to play only one international tournament during each half of the season. This would allow a player like Radwanska to play her home event in Warsaw but would limit her to premier events for the rest of the summer and fall. 简单来说这是小联盟 top20中只有一位能参加 顶尖选手半年只能参加一个这样的赛事 ex:Radwanska将获准参加在他的国家波兰华沙的比赛 但就会限制到他夏季跟秋季参加premier的数量 There also will be a year-end event in Bali for the top eight performers in international events -- a poor woman's Sony Ericsson championships, as it were. 这个international的赛级也将会有一个小型年终赛 在international表现最好的八位选手将在Bali参加 3. New big events A new combined men's and women's event in Madrid will become the main lead-up to the French Open. A mandatory event in Beijing will take place during the fall, the same week as the men play a smaller tournament in the Chinese capital and a week before the new ATP Masters event in Shanghai. Madrid将会改制成为男女合办的比赛 会是法网最大的热身赛 北京的中网在秋天举行 也将会同周兼有男子比赛 The likely losers include Berlin, which will move to the week before the French Open. In the U.S., the Charleston, S.C., tournament can expect a weaker field than before, and the nearby tournament in Amelia Island will become an international event. 其他可能吃亏的大赛例如Berlin将移到法网前一周 Charleston也将会预期比之前的阵容差 Amelia Island则变为international级 4. Longer offseason The offseason will increase to eight weeks from the current seven -- again a little less than planned, but players who are not taking part in either the year-end events or the Fed Cup final will get 10 weeks. 赛季休期将由七周增加到八周 比原先计画的少一点 但如果没有参加年终赛或联邦盃决赛的选手将获得十个星期的休季 5. More prize money Prize money is set to increase significantly next year. Mandatory tournaments will award $4.5 million in total prize money, the same as the equivalent men's events -- a big symbolic and financial victory for the WTA. Premier five events will give $2 million in prize money. Both are a considerable increase from the $1.34 million given by the top WTA events this year. 奖金将大幅增加 Mandatory(premier中的最高级)将有总奖金450万 与相同规模的大型男网比赛一样 premier5则会有两百万 比今年一级赛总奖金134万还多 Premier events will award $700,000, and open events will stay the same with a purse of $600,000. International events will be $220,000 each. premier比赛将会有七十万.而open将会有六十万(相等於现今二级赛) international比赛则通通是22万 Sticks and carrots for not fulfilling commitments -- i.e., fines and bonus pool money -- also are being increased. 未按照规定参加的罚金等项目也将增加 6. New ranking system The system will count a player's 16 best results, one fewer than this year. Players will get zero points in their total for missing any of the Grand Slams or mandatory events. They must also play four of the five premier events. 每个选手将采计16项最佳积分 比今年少一项 若没有参加大满贯或mandatory将强制把0分列入排名的十六项比赛之一 另外他们也必须打premier5中的四项 Rankings points will be doubled across the board to keep the winners' total in mixed events the same for the men and the women. (The men are doubling the points for winning a Masters Series to 1,000 from 500.) 男女合办比赛的积分将加倍 这是为了响应男网的加倍政策 7. Marquee list The allocation of top-six players to premier events will be determined not by ranking but by a newly created marquee list, although the format is still under discussion. According to Allaster, it could be based simply on tournament directors' ratings of the players' marquee values, or go the opposite way and be based only on year-end rankings. 将会有一个关於选手参赛的marquee list 这个list可能会取决於赛会执行长对於选手的商业价值评估 或是单纯参考年终排名 The tour's current Gold and Silver exemption lists, which are a hybrid of marquee value and rankings, will no longer be in use. 目前所采用的Gold and Silver exemption lists正是由选手价值与排名混合而成 明年将不再使用 8. Suspensions In principle, this is a big, new (controversial) stick for the tour to use in compelling players to play mandatory events. In practice, however, the rule has so many loopholes that only a very stubborn player would end up barred from an event. 禁赛措施是为了强迫选手参加mandatory比赛 Players originally were supposed to be suspended for two weeks for missing a mandatory event, though there were allowances for injuries. Now, there are no allowances for injuries, but a player can avoid suspension if she shows up at the event to give a news conference, or if she does some publicity work for the event in the area at some point during the next year. 选手如果没参加mandatory比赛将被禁赛两周 但受伤的理由是可以接受的 现在的规定是如果选手因伤退赛必须要参加记者会或是公关活动才不会被禁赛 For example, it appears that if the Williams sisters continue not to play at Indian Wells, they could do a promotional appearance in nearby Los Angeles during the summer instead. That would take care of the problem -- all except for the incongruity of the Williamses' promoting an event they have boycotted since 2001, when Serena Williams was booed by the crowd during the final after Venus had pulled out of their semifinal encounter the day before. 举例: 如果威家姐妹要持续不参加Indian Wells 他们必须在LA比赛期间参加推广活动 9. Fewer byes For the moment, byes have been removed at midlevel events such as Sydney, Stuttgart and Stanford, which often attract a number of top players. That means the top four players would have to win five matches rather than four to win the tournament. For them, four of these events without byes would involve the same number of matches as winning five events with byes. That effectively would wipe out the gains of having to play 16 events next year rather than this year's 17. 轮空的制度将在雪梨.保时捷及史丹佛这样的比赛取消 这代表前四种子将要赢五场比赛而非四场比赛(第一轮轮空)才能赢得冠军 这样的措施代表明年赢得四个冠军(20场比赛)与今年赢得五个冠军(20场+5次第一轮轮空) 比赛数量是一样的 可以补回明年规定只需参加十六项比赛与今年必须参加十七项的差距 Currently, there are no byes at the mandatory events in Madrid and Beijing, which require winning six matches to win the tournament. However, Allaster says that byes may be introduced at these events because they are during the week after premier five events in Rome and Tokyo, respectively. Without byes, top players would face the prospect of having to play 11 matches in two weeks. Madrid跟北京将没有轮空 需要赢六场比赛才能拿到冠军(64签) 但也许还有改变空间 因为这两项最大的巡回赛是在premier5後一周举行 这样top选手就将必须在两周内打十一场比赛了 There are limits to the number of byes that can be awarded at certain events, Allaster said, because the WTA has commitments to the rank-and-file to provide "56 main-draw jobs a week" under the Roadmap. 轮空制度还是会在一些比赛中实施 10. Other elements Although a large number of players nominally remain against it, on-court coaching becomes official next year at the behest of television. 虽然仍然有许多选手反对 但场上指导将在转播比赛中实施 And in some direct good news for fans, there are plans to begin an Internet-streaming subscription package next year, similar to the ATP's Masters Series TV. 将会有网路直播的服务产生 就像现在ATP的Masters Series TV (应该要付费) Kamakshi Tandon is a freelance tennis writer for ESPN.com. -- --
