JJ輸完這次後在今年11個比賽裡只有2個打進八強。 While she blamed the low-bouncing grass courts for the fatigue which ultimately caused her defeat, the engaging Jankovic was honest enough to pinpoint a more deep-seated reason for her malaise. 她嫌完草地低彈跳讓她很累兼輸球後，JJ誠實說起另一個更深層的理由。 She said: 'I'm lacking a bit of motivation right now. I'm still not doing that badly but I'm far from what my calibre is and the results that I'm capable of. I've been No 1 in the world and it's not so easy to stay there. It's a constant battle against yourself. 她說:我現在缺乏點動力。我不是很糟糕啦，但是和我的應有實力有差。我曾是世 界第一，待在那位置也不是很簡單，那是個和自己的長期抗爭。 'You need to be disciplined. When you want to eat chocolate you have to say No. No to yourself because it's not good for you to eat chocolate all the time. You need to go out there and practise four or five hours a day. It's not easy to do that, but that's the life of a professional. You need to be strong and keep going. 你需要有紀律。當你想吃想巧克力時只能說不。對自己說不因為總是在吃巧克力 不好。你需要每天出去練個四五小時。這不太容易，但那是職業球員的生活。你 需要持續努力。 'I need to get back the desire to fight and work hard, especially in matches. Why am I lacking in motivation? Lots of playing, lots of travelling. We're all human, we're all allowed to make mistakes. There's not one player in any sport who just went uphill. All of them had ups and downs, even when they were doing well. 我需要重新有想要奮鬥努力的渴望，特別在比賽中。為什麼我失去動力？打太多， 到處旅遊太多。我們是人啊，我們總是被允許犯錯。在任何運動沒有一個運動員只 會向上提升。他們總有高低起伏，甚至當他們做得很好時。 'I wish I could have a break now, maybe not play for a little bit and get to the point where I want to play tennis again and I want to run after balls - things I am missing at the moment. I'll play Wimbledon and then we'll see.' 我希望我現在可以休息，或許有段時間不打球，直到我想再拿起球拍並且追著球跑 －我現在沒有。我會打溫布頓然後看看。 (以下英國球員成績就不翻啦) British interest ended in the women's singles with the defeats of Anne Keothavong and Elena Baltacha, both wildcard entries, to higher-ranked opponents. Keothavong lost 6-3, 6-2, to Austrian veteran Sybille Bammer, while Baltacha was beaten 6-2, 7-5 by Na Li, of China, runner-up in Birmingham at the weekend. --
