Veteran Stubbs set to join Dementieva in retirement October 31, 2010 網壇老將Stubbs將追隨戴娃離去 DOHA: In the emotional moments after world No.9 Elena Dementieva announced her shock retirement from tennis while still entrenched among the world's top 10, Australia's most enduring player, 39-year-old doubles specialist Rennae Stubbs, also privately confirmed her intention to depart the game. 當大家還沒從戴娃突然宣布退出的驚嚇中走出來時 現年39歲的雙打高手Rennae Stubbs也 在私下證實她將離開球場 Dementieva will exit immediately, even though she qualified for the year-end WTA championships for a 10th year out of 11. The 29-year-old Russian had nursed her retirement secret throughout her 13th season, which ended with Friday night's 6-4, 6-2 loss to Francesca Schiavone in her 849th tournament match. Dementieva's 576th and last win came against Samantha Stosur in three sets the previous night. 戴娃在今年的年終賽已經提早出局了 而她在過去的11年內曾經十度參加WTA年終賽 這位29 歲的俄羅斯名將在她今年第13年的職業生涯中 一直守著即將退休的秘密 在星期五的比賽 中 她以64 62直落二輸給了Francesca Schiavone 這是她職業生涯的第849場比賽 也是她 的最後一場比賽 她的第576場贏球賽 也是她最後一場贏球的比賽 是在前一晚以三盤打贏 Samantha Stosur The evergreen Stubbs is also making her championships farewell. The winner of four doubles and two grand slam mixed titles among 60 tournament victories overall, Stubbs intends to return to Melbourne Park in January for one final time as a competitor and then - selection permitting - contest Australia's Fed Cup tie against Italy in Hobart the next week. 網壇的常青樹Stubbs也要向年終賽道再見 在她的職業生涯中一共贏過60座冠軍 其中包括 大滿貫四座雙打以及兩座混雙冠軍 明年一月的澳網將會是Stubbs職業生涯的最後一場賽事 不過接下來 -尚未決定- 在澳網結束後的下個禮拜 她或許還會參加在Hobart所舉辦的聯邦 盃 澳洲對義大利的賽事 ''If we win Fed Cup and get to the semis, there's a small possibility that I'd still like to be a part of that journey, having been on the train for so long,'' said Stubbs, whose doubles qualification with partner Lisa Raymond represents her 15th appearance at the year-end tournament. ''But the plan is that Fed Cup will probably be it. ''[Retirement] is 99.99 sure. I don't think it will ever feel totally right, but I'm as certain as I can be. I've always said, 'Once I'm done, I'm done.' I don't want to be one of those players that comes back and decides to play in July. This will definitely be my last championships, that's for sure, and it will be my last Australian Open.'' 對此 Stubbs表示:"如果我們贏了聯邦盃晉級四強賽 或許有小小的機率我還會繼續踏上征 途 畢竟我已經在這輛火車上(指聯邦盃)待很久了" 今年她與Lisa Raymond一起取得年終賽 資格 這也是她第15次參加年終賽 "不過不管聯邦盃如何 退休是百分之99.99確定了 我不 認為我會覺得很好 不過我很確定我將會這麼做 我是那種"一旦決定了 就是決定了"的人 我不想成為那些到了七月又想復出比賽的球員 所以今年一定是我最後的年終賽 這是確定 的 而明年的澳網也將會是我最後的澳網" 唉.....妳真的要離Sam而去嗎? 最後 開心一下 一段在Doha的舊影片 剛好有戴娃 也有Stubbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o90APqeWS6A Stubbs被問到如果拍自傳電影要找誰來演她?
