V. Williams (7) def. A. Morigami 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 Question(Moderator): We'll take questions for Venus. 来问Venus问题吧 Question: How tough was the first time out...A little rusty? 第一次比赛有多难? 有点生绣吗? Venus Williams: You know, um, definitely I'm a little rusty. I mean the first set went so quick and it went fairly easy, and I felt like I played well, sticking to my game plan. So I think in the second set I started to think, and I made a few errors, and then seems like I couldn't stop the errors. It was like a windfall (laughs) of errors. And just in the third set I said, 'Okay, let's try to stay focused' and then I was thinking of all the things (unheard) first match back: 'You're actually doing really good V.' And (laughs) so it was exciting also to get it at 3 all which is in the third set a tough point in the match and to come through really well and to play well and to close it out, so I felt good. 嗯 有点 第一盘太轻松了 我觉得我打的很不错 第二盘我就多想了 也出现了一些失误 然後开始失控了 真的是个意外 第三盘我跟自己说"好吧 试试看专心点" 然後我开始回想.....(没听到) 我跟自己说 "嗯 你其实做的很好啊" 然後我很高兴第三盘可以在3-3时突破僵局 而且打的很好 然後结束比赛 我觉得很棒 Question: Why did you decide to make Memphis the place of your comeback? 为什麽决定在Memphis复出? Venus Williams: Um, basically I had to, you know, withdraw from the Australian Open, and I had to withdraw also from Antwerp so, you know, each week I was... I didn't know if I would play. So even last week I was... I didn't know how I would feel because my wrist was, you know, still sore in practice. Coming here has just been really dreamy. I felt like I didn't know if I would be here or not. Now that I've won a match, it's so exciting. 嗯 基本上我得这样 你知道我已经退出了澳网跟Antwerp 所以每周我都... 我不知道我能不能打因为我的手腕训练时还很酸痛 来这里变成一件梦寐以求的事 我甚至不知道能否参赛 但我现在赢了一场了 太刺激了 Question: You got a lot of love tonight from the crowd. 你得到了很多球迷的心 Venus Williams: I know. It's awesome. It was so awesome. 我知道 太棒了 真的太棒了 Question: How do you like that small arena (seats 5,200 and was full Monday night during Venus' match)? 你觉得这个地方如何? (5200个座位在Venus的比赛爆满) Venus Williams: It feels good. Everything's close but still there's a lot of room to run. You know I'm a big girl. And um, it just felt really good to be on the court. She's actually a good player. 很棒 每件事都很接近但还有很多空间 我知道我已经是个大女孩了 嗯... 我真的觉得很高兴你回到场上 他是个很棒的选手 Question(Mac Winker, owner of tournament): John Connors is here, Jimmy's brother... John Connors在这里 他是Jimmy Connors的哥哥 Venus Williams: Hey! 嘿! Question(Mac Winker, owner of tournament): He felt like the match was like a prize fight. He said it was like being at a prize fight, because everybody's so close. Do you feel that? 他觉得这是个竞争激烈的比赛 因为你们很接近 你觉得? Venus Williams: Yea. Everyone's close. The crowd was very nice to me, but also at the same time, they enjoyed the good points. You know, they were also really supportive of her. But it's nice to have the crowd behind you especially in your home country, because a lot of the times you have, even at the US Open it isn't really like that. Like you don't always, at least I haven't always felt them behind me so it's really comforting. It's nice. 嗯 很接近 观众对我很好 他们也很享受那些好球 他们也会支持他 能有人在你背後支持你真的很好 特别是在你的国家比赛 因为即使是美网也不像这样 至少我不会一直觉得他们都支持我 所以今天这样很好 Question: Is it still too early to tell... the first match about the wrist? 现在谈你的手腕还太早吗? Venus Williams: I mean I'm really confident at this point. I really didn't know what to expect in the first match. Like I said, it was sore in practice and I'm not always hitting 100%. And to be honest like in this match was like the first time I was even hitting like that. So a lot of it is adrenaline (unheard). I feel confident about tomorrow. 嗯我很有信心 我不知道该有什麽期待 训练时还有点酸痛 我也不是每次都能打出好球 坦白说这场比赛可能是我第一次能打成这样 肾上腺素影响很多...(听不到) 我对明天有信心 Question: Was the second set more mental... getting away from you? 第二盘是心理影响吗? Venus Williams: It's definitely mental I think, just losing serve in the second game. And then the errors just started coming. I had a weird service game with a lot of doublefaults and unforced errors and then like big serves and big shots. (unheard) I have a lot of things going on in my head, and just, you know, getting back to the game flowing, so sometimes I was feeling that, and sometimes I wasn't. So I think that with each match that I play it's just going to be so crucial for me. 绝对是心理因素 在第二局被破发 然後开始产生失误 我发了一局很轨异的发球局 很多双误跟失误 然後才再打出好球 我想了很多 回到比赛中继续提升 有时我能感觉到 有时不能 我想 我想这会对我的比赛很有决定性 Question: When you said it's not always like that, I wonder where you felt (unheard) is it not always like that? 你说你不是每次都能像那样(继续提升) 我想知道(听不到) 所以不是每次都能像那样? Venus Williams: No it's not. No this is special. It's very special. 不 这很特别 这次非常特别 Question: Venus, there was a 71 year old woman who I met who'd never been to a tennis match before. She described herself as a maid, she cleans houses, and it's the first time she's ever came to see someone play. She's African-American. I suspect there's a lot of people like that who come to see you. Is it humbling? Are you aware of that? I mean what does it mean to know this 71 year old who goes through her life without watching tennis and here she is watching you? Venus 这里有一个71岁的老妇人 他从来没看过网球 他说他自己是个女佣 帮人打扫房子 他是个黑人 我怀疑有很多人也像这样? 你注意到了吗? 我是说像他这样 71岁没看过网球 但他在这里看你 有什麽含意? Venus Williams: Well it's exciting because I feel like an ambassador for my sport. And for me tennis has been so wonderful. It's taken me places that I would have never dreamed of. I feel like an advocate of the game. I feel like if I can take the game places where it wouldn't have been before, it's a beautiful thing. Definitely I see a lot of new faces, a lot of color in the crowd since I started playing and especially here. There were a lot of African-Americans in the audience so that's really exciting and flattering. It's a beautiful thing. 嗯 这很好 我觉得我像是这个运动的一个大使 对我来说网球太好了 网球带我来到我从未梦想过的生活 我觉得像一个推广人 我觉得如果能够把网球带到一个前所未有的境地就太棒了 从我开始打网球开始 特别是在这里 我看到了很多新面孔 很多不同人种 观众群里有很多黑人 真的很令人高兴 这是很棒的事 Question: What was the feeling this morning? The first time in four months... What was it like? 今早你有什麽感觉? 四个多月来的第一次 感觉怎样? Venus Williams: Um, it was a countdown. It was definitely a countdown (laughs) and finally stepping out there. You know I felt good. I didn't feel too nervous or anything. Like I said it's just about being out there and playing when it really counts. I definitely was able to pull out some good points. I think she's a very good player. 感觉像在倒数 然後终於开始了 我觉得很好 我没有太紧张 就像我说过的 当时间到了 就是走出来然後打球 我打了一些好球 我也觉得他是个好选手 Question: Coming out, you know this is a Tier III and she seemed to be running you a lot. How would you rate her? 你知道这是个三级赛 而他看起来让你跑了很多 你怎麽评价他? Venus Williams: Well I think she's a good competitor. I think she likes my pace. When I'm hitting the ball, you know, I'm pretty much going for it the whole time so I think she likes my pace. Sometimes I was going for more pace and less placement. And she's really a speedy little player. She actually gets a lot of first serves in which helps her a lot. So I think as the match went on, and she started to feel confident like she could get into the match, then that's when things got a little tougher for me. 我想他是个很好的球手 他喜欢我的节奏 当我击球时 你知道我有时可能会加快速度 或打短一点 他真的速度很快 他的一发进球率不错也帮了他很多 所以我想随比赛进行他也觉得越来越有自信 也让我有了更多困难 Question: Does it feel strange to be back out there at all with 5,000 people? I know sometimes you were having trouble with the ball toss a little bit... 在5000名观众前回来打球很怪吗? 我知道有时你会有点抛球的问题 Venus Williams: Yea...no it's just when you don't get your toss right, the serve's gonna to be wrong so you've just gotta do it over. It's a simple as that. But it felt good. I definitely feel like I'll be better tomorrow to be honest. I felt like I've been there and I can do this so it's a good feeling. 嗯 不 如果你没抛好球 发球就会出问题 但我觉得很好 我觉得我明天我会打更好 我觉得我经历了一次而且我可以做好 所以我感觉不错 -- --
