还记得2006的时候前球后Chris Evert写了一封公开信 刊在他本人创办的Tennis杂志上呼吁小威专注於网球事业吗? 以下是他今年美网决赛前的访问 他修正了他的看法 In 1999, Serena won the Open for the first of 16 Williams family Grand Slam singles titles. From the beginning of 2002 through the end of 2003, Williams won five of the six majors she entered. 1999年 小威在美网赢得了目前威家16个单打大满贯的第一个 而2002-2003他赢得了六个他所参加的大满贯的其中五个 Then she went from nearly invincible to almost invisible. Between January 2005 and December 2006, she played 44 matches, 5 fewer than she has in 2008. Williams’s world ranking was inching toward 140 when Chris Evert, an 18-time Grand Slam singles champion, gently took Williams to task in an open letter in Tennis magazine for tarnishing her legacy by not maximizing her extraordinary tennis abilities. 然後他几乎消失得无影无踪 2005-2006他居然只打了44场比赛 比他今年目前打的还要少五场 排名也跌到了140 18座大满贯冠军Evert写了一封公开信呼吁他不要浪费他杰出的网球能力 “In the short term you may be happy with the various things going on in your life,” Evert wrote, “but I wonder whether 20 years from now you might reflect on your career and regret not putting 100 percent of yourself into tennis.” "短期内你或许会因为各式各样的活动而开心 但我不确定20年後当你回想你的生涯 你会不会因为没有百分之百投入於网球而感到後悔" Evert, whose singular devotion to tennis stoked her success, added, “I don’ t see how acting and designing clothes can compare with the pride of being the best tennis player in the world.” Evert这位终身奉献给网球运动的名将补充 "我不认为演戏或设计衣服可以比的上成为世界上最好的选手的荣耀" Evert watched the final Sunday in the suite of Arlen Kantarian, the United States Tennis Association’s chief executive officer for professional tennis. Before the match, Evert conceded that in the long term the Williamses had proved her wrong. Evert在美国网球协会CEO Arlen Kantarian的房间看完了周日的决赛 在赛前Evert坦承威家姐妹的表现证明了他的想法是错的 Noting that former Nos. 1 Justine Henin, Martina Hingis and Kim Clijsters bowed out of tennis because of burnout while the Williamses have been playing as well as ever, Evert said: “Let’s put it this way. It’s opened my eyes not to be judgmental and to each his own. Whatever makes you happy. By having other interests, maybe you won’t get burned out as quickly.” 前世界第一Henin.Hingis.Clijsters都因为疲惫而从网球中退休了 而威家姐妹如同过去一样继续的参赛 Evert说 "他们让我开了眼界 不再用主观态度去判断 不管是什麽能使你快乐 或许拥有其他的兴趣能够让你不会这麽快的失去热情" -- --
