Being happy, focused just comes naturally Jelena Jankovic January 21, 2009 LOOKS can be deceiving. I may look quite strong and quiet from the outside when you don't know me, but I am not really like that. I am a positive person who laughs a lot and am always happy, but deep down on the inside, I am also a very sensitive person. Believe it or not I am a bit of a crier! I do tend to be quite emotional and cry easily. It is not something that I particularly like about myself, but that is how I am as a person. I am not as cold as a rock. But I don't pay too much attention to what others say about me. Everybody has the right to think what they want and speak their mind if they want to. But I don't really focus on that, and when you are successful there are always going to be critics, as well as people who compliment you. That's just the way it is. If I was ranked 1000th in the world or if I wasn't doing well, no one would talk about me. Nobody would say anything, so I guess this is the way it has to be and I have to accept that. I have my own team and I have the people who believe in me and wish me the best. I just try to get my results and don't feel that I have to prove anything to anybody. I'm No. 1 in the world and everybody wants to be in my shoes, so I don't have anything to worry about. I'm just a girl who enjoys tennis. I go to the court with a smile on my face, and that's what matters … I enjoy what I do and I'm happy. I love my sport. I love running after balls. That's what matters to me and that's what counts. Looking forward to today's second-round match against Kirsten Flipkens, I have to admit I do not know too much about her. I haven't seen her play for a long time, so basically I'll just go out there and play my game and try to remain focused from the beginning to the end and keep the intensity up throughout the whole match. It was very hot out on court during my first match against Yvonne Meusburger on Monday, but that is all part and parcel of playing in Australia at this time of year. There will be hot days. One of the problems I have when I come to Australia for the tournaments is that the courts get so warm and the soles of my shoes, with the friction from moving around the court, get so hot that it feels like it's burning my feet. It's not a pleasant feeling but I guess most of us have to deal with that. I actually had to put my feet on ice during the change-overs on Monday to try and cool down, but there's not really much you can do out there about that — it's just the way it is. 到澳洲的問題之一是場地很熱，因為在場中跑來跑去所以鞋底也熱，就很像在 燒烤我的腳一樣。那不是很舒服的感覺，不過我想我們大都得處理這問題。我 實際上在第一輪比賽時在中間休息時把我的腳冰敷試著冷卻，不過沒有什麼事 可作來改善－就是降。 I always protect my feet before I go on court by having them taped by the physios, which also protects my big toes because I break a lot of nails, so it is better to be safe than sorry. 上場前我總是保護我的腳，由物理治療師纏繃帶，這也保護了我的大腳趾，因 為我斷了很多指甲，所以保護總比痛死好。 While tennis is my No. 1 priority, it is important to have interests outside of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. I like acting and am very interested in fashion, so I am very excited because my new apparel sponsor, ANTA, will give me the freedom to work with the designers to create my own dresses and have a whole range of clothes with my name. It's nice when you are able to display your personality through your clothes and you wear what you want to, especially when you are out on the court. To be the only one wearing the dress is important to me, as nobody else on the tour would have the same thing. 本段簡譯 JJ尬意獨一無二的感覺，沒人會跟她穿一樣。所以ANTA給她的設計 自由讓她很高興。 I also like spending time with kids who have needs and I am a UNICEF ambassador. So I do feel it is very important to have the right balance between the job that I do and the other activities and interests that I have in my life that make me happy. Jelena Jankovic is the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's No. 1-ranked player and a donation for this column has been made to her chosen charity, UNICEF. -- 只有一點點翻譯興致～噗 --
