PETERSBURG, FL, USA - Following an intense and unprecedented year-long battle for the No.1 ranking that witnessed five different players holding the top position, Jelena Jankovic will conclude the 2008 season at No.1. Jankovic, who will lead the singles competition at the Sony Ericsson Championships – Doha 2008, will emerge as the year-end No.1 regardless of the results. 在今年走馬燈換了五個第一後，Jelena Jankovic將以2008年年終第一結束 賽季。她在2008杜哈年終賽的單打中也是第一種子，但無論比賽結果如何 ，她將成為年終第一。 The 23-year old secured the year-end No.1 ranking shortly after winning 12 straight matches and three straight titles, at Beijing, Stuttgart and Moscow. She won the first of her four 2008 titles at Rome in May. 23歲在連續贏了12場比賽和北京、斯圖加特和莫斯科三個冠軍後鎖定年終第 一寶座。她今年第一個冠軍是五月在羅馬獲得。 "It has been a truly amazing year for me," Jankovic said. "Winning four Sony Ericsson WTA Tour titles, over 60 matches and to make it to two semifinals and a final in the Grand Slams this year is a dream come true. I worked really hard this year and to finish No.1 is where I want to be and where I hope to stay." "這真的對我是驚奇的一年，"JJ說。"贏得四個WTA冠軍，贏超過60場比賽， 和達到大滿貫的兩個四強賽和一個決賽，對我真的是美夢成真。我今年非常 努力，能以年終第一結束是我想要並繼續保持的。" "Jelena has had an incredible 2008 season and earned the year-end No.1 ranking," said Larry Scott, Chairman & CEO of the Tour. "Jelena's entertaining all-court game and off-court charisma have attracted millions of fans around the globe, and helped make this season one of the most memorable in recent memory. The battle for the No.1 ranking is sure to remain fiercely competitive in 2009, and no doubt Jelena will be among those vying for the top spot again." "JJ有非常棒2008年賽季並贏得年終第一排名，"巡迴賽主席和CEO Larry Scott說。"JJ的場上娛樂性和場外魅力吸引了全球百萬歌迷，並幫助此賽季 成為近年來值得記憶的一年。排名第一的爭奪在2009年將仍是競爭激烈，毫 無疑問JJ會成為幾個值得注意焦點之一。" "We are delighted to congratulate Jelena on this great accolade," said Aldo Liguori, Corporate Vice President and Head of Global Communications & PR at Sony Ericsson. "It is a tremendous achievement to finish the year as Sony Ericsson WTA Tour world No.1. It has been a fantastic year for Jelena and the Tour and we look forward to seeing Jelena return to defend her title next year, in what is expected to be another exciting and great year for women's tennis." "我們很高興恭喜JJ的這項成就，"AldoLiguori，Sony Ericsson高層說。"年 終第一是極佳成就。這是JJ表現極佳的一年，我們希望她明年繼續衛冕，明年 女網又是個令人興奮的一年。" Jankovic first claimed the No.1 ranking on August 11, 2008, staying there for one week. She returned to top spot on October 6 and has held it ever since. She has also won more matches than any other player on Tour this year - 63 - and has reached the quarterfinals or better at 19 of her first 21 events, her only early round losses coming at Wimbledon (fourth round) and Zurich (second round). JJ在八月曾短暫達到世界第一。她在10/6回到第一後就一直待在那。今年她贏 得比其他人都多的比賽-63場，她也在21個錦標賽中有19個都至少打到八強。只 有溫布頓(第四輪)和蘇黎世(第二輪)未達到。 Jankovic began defining herself as a potential No.1 approximately two years ago, when she labored past a string of 10 consecutive losses early in the 2006 season and suffered a ranking drop to No.38 in the middle of the year. She successfully turned the season around and vaulted to No.12 by year's end and since then the Serb has been a consistent figure in the Top 10 since February 26, 2007. JJ在約兩年前開始定義她自己是未來可能的第一人選，那時她熬過2006年初 連輸十場夢靨，年中排名一度掉到38。她成功回到賽季並年終排名12，從 2007年2/26起她已成為Top 10的固定一角。 Jankovic was one of five players to hold the No.1 ranking this year, along with Justine Henin (20 weeks), who retired on May 14 and immediately took her name off the rankings; Ana Ivanovic (12 weeks); Maria Sharapova (three weeks); and Serena Williams (four weeks). JJ是今年五個達到排名第一的球員之一，其他有Justine Henin (20週)，在 五月退休後立刻除名，Ana Ivanovic (12 週); Maria Sharapova (3週); 和Serena Williams (4週). --
