Serena sets sights high After winning Australian Open, is a calendar slam next for American? 在赢得澳网後 年度大满贯会是下一个小威的目标吗? By Tracy Austin NBCSports.com contributor MELBOURNE, Australia - Serena Williams was as hot in the Australian Open women ’s final as the weather has been over the past week Down Under. In the battle for the No. 1 ranking, Williams roasted Dinara Safina 6-0, 6-3 in less than an hour. She convincingly earned her 10th Grand Slam title. Serena Williams在澳网决赛中的表现就像澳洲的天气一样火热 在这场争夺世界第一的决赛中他轻易的在一小时内把Safina 6-0 6-3击败 以相当有说服力的表现赢得了第十个大满贯冠军 Serena’s win in Melbourne comes on the heels of her U.S Open title last September. Justine Henin was the last to win back-to-back major singles titles at the 2003 U.S. Open and 2004 Australian Open. 这是Serena继去年九月美网後连续第二个大满贯 上一个连续拿到两个大满贯的是Justine Henin 他连续赢得了2003美网跟2004澳网 Having won back-to-back Grand Slam titles for the first time since her 2002 U.S. Open and 2003 Australian Open success, Williams is in position to eclipse the “Serena Slam” (her 2002 French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open triple and her 2003 Australian Open triumph) and win all four majors in a single year. 这是小威继2002美网到2003澳网後再度连续取得大满贯 Serena今年有机会重现他在2002-2003达成的Serena Slam Can she do it? 他能办到吗? It all depends on her commitment. She must make a pledge to herself. She is talking about history, not about being No. 1. Williams moved ahead of Monica Seles and sits one Grand Slam title behind Australian legend Margaret Court. Billie Jean King has 12 and Serena says that winning 12 is “do-able”. 这得完全看他的专注力 他必须对自己许下承诺 他总是谈论历史上的地位而非排名第一 他现在已经超过了Monica Seles 而只差一个冠军就追平在开放年代赢得11座冠军的澳洲传奇Margaret Court Billie Jean King有十二座冠军 而Serena认为十二座是他有能力办到的 Based on the way she played against Safina, I would agree. The match was over in 59 minutes, and in that time she made only seven unforced errors. She dominated a very good player and did it the way she has always done it, playing Serena Williams tennis. It was indeed quite a show. 以他打Safina的表现来看 我同意 这场比赛只耗时59分钟 他甚至只有七个失误 他完全主宰了一位非常好的选手 打出了小威式的网球 这真是一场火力示范秀 Williams opened the match with a wide serve to the forehand and hit a backhand winner off the return, almost like she was warming up. Safina’s serve can be erratic because her toss is so high. She has a tendency to pull her head down and this led to a problem in her first service game when she served three double faults. 小威以一记外角发球後击出反拍致胜球开始整场比赛 就像他还在热身一样 Safina的发球很不稳定 他的抛球过高.习惯把头垂下来让他第一个发球局就碰到麻烦 他发出了三记双误 Down 2-0, the No. 3 seed was already in a hole and she was even then starting to feel embarrassed. Williams seemed comfortable and her shots were definitely flowing. The first set was over in just 22 minutes. In a big shot hitting display, the No. 2 seed made an un-Williams-like two unforced errors and hit 12 winners. Safina, feeling overwhelmed, hit four winners and made 12 unforced errors. She held serve twice in the entire match, finally doing it for the first time after 47 minutes had been played. 0-2落後之後 这位第三种子更陷窘境 而Serena看来打的非常舒服 第一盘只花了22分钟 在这场火力示范赛Serena打出来不像他平常表现的两个失误 而出现12个致胜球 Safina完全被压过去 4个致胜球 12个失误 他一直到比赛进行47分钟後才首度保发 整场比赛只拿下两个发球局 Having been a little nervous going into the match, Williams admitted after such an easy first set she had to tell herself that Safina was a warrior. You cannot feel sorry for an opponent. She knew that Safina would not quit, especially after having won three, three-set matches to get to this stage of the tournament. Serena在赛前其实有些紧张 他後来也承认第一盘後他告诉自己Safina是个勇士 所以他不能心软 他知道Safina不会放弃 特别是他这次澳网已经赢过三场三盘比赛 Safina proved how much she has matured, by breaking Williams in the first game of the second set. Everyone hoped that she would stay focused and get into the match, but that wasn’t going to happen. Williams immediately returned to her first set form, breaking back, holding serve and breaking again to lead 4-1. Safina在第二盘开始破了Serena的发球证明他变得更成熟了 每个人都希望他继续保持专注 但这没有发生 Serena马上找回他第一盘的勇猛 破回发球局.迅速保发在破发後 取得了4-1领先 Having warmed up before the match with her sister, Venus, Williams concentrated on serve returns. I watched them, and her mother, Oracene Price, also her coach, kept telling her to stay low, move in and hit through the shots. Williams had not been pleased with her play early in the tournament. She was angry about her poor footwork, and her mother had been telling her that she was playing “lazy tennis.” That was not the case against Safina. 在赛前Serena跟姊姊Venus的热身中 他特别注意回发球的部分 我有看到他们的热身 他妈妈Oracene一直告诉他要重心放低 往前击球 Serena对他在澳网前几轮的表现非常不满意 他对自己的步法赶到生气 他妈妈跟他说他打得太懒了 但对上Safina并没有发生这个状况 The crowd, hoping for more of a contest, loudly supported Safina but all the cheering in the world was not about to stop Williams. She is one of the best players in the game when it comes to not letting up. Once she has an opponent down, she will not let up. It isn’t a basketball game so there isn’t a time clock. Williams lost only three games when she defeated Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-2 for the 2007 title. 观众都希望比赛更有张力 非常卖力的替Safina加油 但所有声音都没办法阻止Serena 他是最会打上风球的选手之一 只要他开始领先 他就不会让优势溜走 这不是篮球比赛 所以没有时间限制 小威在2007年夺冠的时候也曾经只给Sharapova三局过 6-1 6-2获胜 If I were Safina’s coach, I would sit her down and point out the positives and not dwell on negatives. She has gotten to the finals in two majors (French Open last year) in a relatively short period of time. She played good tennis to do so and her game is getting better. The most important point of all was that she was facing Serena Williams. 如果我是Safina的教练 我就会跟他说他值得乐观的地方 他在短短时间内已经进了两次大满贯决赛 他打出很棒的表现而且还在进步 最重要的是他面对的是Serena Williams With her victory, Williams, the 2007, 2005 and 2003 Melbourne champion joined an exclusive group including Court, Evonne Goolagong (Cawley), Steffi Graf and Monica Seles as a four-time Australian Open women’s winner. Williams won the doubles with Venus so she also became the first singles and doubles winner since Martina Hingis did the same with Anna Kournikova in 1999. 继2003.2005.2007的胜利後 Serena Williams进入了只有Court.Goolagone.Graf.Seles 才曾经达到的四个澳网冠军俱乐部 他跟姊姊Venus也拿下了双打冠军 是继1999年Martina Hingis後的第一人 Hingis当年与Kournikova拿下双打 Williams couldn’t have asked for a better ending Down Under. Now she takes on the challenge of keeping her run going and making strong bids at the three other majors. It’s a steep challenge but at this stage in her career, she appears more than ready for it. Serena不能在要求更好的结局了 现在他的挑战是如何保持这样的状态 并且在其他三个大满贯发起攻势 这是个严峻的挑战 但在他生涯的这个阶段 似乎他已经做好准备了 -- --
