這是八強賽前，澳網官網上的文章。 網址:http://ppt.cc/4CxR Cilic ready to come of age Tuesday 26 January 2010 By Matt Cronin Juan Martin del Potro broke out and won the 2009 US Open, but one of the up-and-comers he bested in New York, Croatian Marian Cilic, got a significant measure of revenge on him in Melbourne, chopping down the big Argentine in a marathon five-set win in the fourth round on Sunday. Juan Martin del Potro 大爆發並且贏得09年美網冠軍，但是其中一個他在紐約力壓 的後起之秀，克羅埃西亞的Cilic ，在墨爾本得到意義重大的一次復仇。在星期天五 盤馬拉松十六強戰擊垮了他。 While he’s not favored to win the title, it’s possible that Cilic could go the same way that del Potro did in New York and win his first major. At 198cm, he has the size and the power to hit through anyone. He has one of the cleanest and hardest-to-read backhands down the line on tour, has plenty of pop on his serve, can whale a forehand, and doesn’t mind closing out points at the net. Cilic不是奪冠的熱門，但他有可能走del Potro的路贏得他第一個大滿貫冠軍。以198 公分高的身材，他有力量與身材，他擁有最俐落與最難解讀的反拍之一，發球有爆發 力，正拍能重捶，而且不介意在網前得分。 The 21-year-old could still put some more meat on his bones, but under the tutelage of Bob Brett, who coached Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic and is a disciple of the former Aussie Davis Cup coaching legend Harry Hopman, Cilic has filled out both physically and mentally. 這個21歲的年輕人還能再成長，但是在Bob Brett的教導下，Cilic已經在心理與生理 上更為成熟。Bob Brett 曾教導過溫網冠軍Goran Ivanisevic，並且是前澳洲台維斯 盃傳奇教練Harry Hopman的徒弟。 “I think now I'm in a good position where I can look at myself, how I'm supposed to play,” Cilic said. “Definitely physical part is one thing that I improved a bit in this off?season. So that helps to play these long matches in a more consistent way. And also from the first few rounds, I had tough opponents, tough matches. So it just shows me how well I can play also, how well I'm prepared.” "我想我現在站在一個很好的位置，可以看清楚自己該怎麼比賽，"Cilic說道，"當然， 我在休季期間有加強我的體能，這幫助我在打很久的比賽裡保持穩定。在前幾輪裡， 我也有些難打的選手，難打的比賽，所以這只是告訴我，我能打得多好，我準備得有 多好。" In 2004, Ivanisevic recommended that that the greenhorn Cilic go and work with Brett in San Remo, and although Cilic didn’t want to leave his friends and family in his hometown of Medjugorje, he knew he had little choice if he wanted to become a prime-time player. 2004年，Ivanisevic建議尚青澀的Cilic去San Remo與Brett合作，雖然Cilic 不想離 開在Medjugorje的朋友與家人，但是他知道，如果他想邁向巔峰，他沒有選擇。 “He was a very good 15-year-old who already had a great backhand,” said Brett, who also coached Wimbledon champion Boris Becker. “He was able to move a player around the court and dictate points, but not with a lot of power. He already had a good understanding of the court.” "他15歲就已經有很好的反拍，"Brett說，Brett也執教過溫網冠軍Boris Becker。 "他能滿場調動對手，並且控制局面，但不用很多力量，他對賽場站位有很好的理解。" While Brett was critical to Cilic’s development, so was his father, Zdenko, a hard worker who rarely had time for sports when was growing up. Brett對於Cilic 的發展很關鍵，Cilic的父親Zdenko也是，Zdenko是個勤奮的工作者， 成長過程裡很少有機會接觸運動。 “My father was determined that my older brothers, Vinko, Goran, and I would get the opportunity to play sport, as he did not get any opportunities growing up,” said Cilic, who began to play tennis at the age of seven. “The town had no tennis tradition prior to 1991, when the first tennis court was built. My friends and I were among the first to play on it.” "我父親下定決心要讓我哥哥Vinko ,Goran 還有我有機會接觸運動，因為他成長過程 中沒有這種機會，"Cilic說道，Cilic在 7歲的時候開始打網球。"這個地方在1991年 前沒有網球傳統，當第一個網球場蓋好的時候，我朋友和我是第一個進去打球的人之 一。" Ivanisevic has predicted great things for Cilic, saying he “can be a future top 10 player easily”. He’s been prescient, as Cilic is already ranked No. 14, and when he leaves Melbourne, might already have made that jump. Ivanisevic早已預言Cilic，說他會是未來的top 10選手，他有先見之明，Cilic已經 排名14，而當他離開墨爾本的時候，或許已經達成了那個躍進。 Last year, Cilic won a career-high 48 matches and captured two titles, Chennai and Zagreb, and he began this season by impressively repeating as the titlist in Chennai. 去年，Cilic贏得生涯新高的48場比賽，並且獲得兩項冠軍，清奈與Zagreb ，而他這 季以成功衛冕清奈冠軍作為開始。 After upsetting Andy Murray but then falling to del Potro in New York last September, Cilic knew that he had to improve his conditioning and court stewardship. He needed five long sets to best Aussie teen Bernard Tomic in the second round, four sets to overcome 19th-seed Stan Wawrinka, and then five to outlast del Potro. He’s clearly coming of age. 經過去年九月，在紐約爆冷擊敗Andy Murray，接著輸給del Potro，Cilic 知道他得 改善他的體能狀態以及在場上的控管調整，在第二輪，他需要五盤勝出澳洲青少年 Bernard Tomic，需要四盤戰勝19號種子Stan Wawrinka，接著用五盤淘汰del Potro， 他顯然到了成熟的時候。 “Everybody has his own way,” he said. “But since the US Open, I started to play much better. To win against better guys more often. Here, I had some tough matches in the first few rounds, and also that gave me a little more in one way that I was hitting a lot of balls. But also physically-wise I was maybe a little bit skeptic what it was going to be. But [against del Potro] I felt really good physically, and that in the end was the main difference.” "每個人都有自己的路，" 他說。"但自從美網，我開始打得更好，更常打贏更好的選 手，在這裡，我在前幾輪有些苦戰，那讓我多打些球，我或許對體能狀態會變如何有 點疑問，但是(與del Potro的比賽裡)我覺得我體能良好，而那是最終的不同。" Brett has cautioned Cilic not to get overly excited with his wins, and not feel too down after his losses. Becoming a great player is all about process, learning the ins and outs of the tour and your opponent’s tendencies, as well as your own strengths and weaknesses. Cilic has improved a ton, but he’s still three matches from his first major title. He’ll face the experienced Andy Roddick on Tuesday, a heck of a fighter who has reached the Australian Open semi-finals four times and sees a clear path to his first final. Brett一直警惕Cilic不要因為勝利太過興奮，也不要在輸球之後太過難過。要成為一 位偉大的球員全然在於過程，從巡迴賽中學習，從對手身上學習，也從自己的長處與 短處中學習。Cilic 已經進步很多，但是他距離他第一個大滿貫冠軍還有三場比賽的 距離。他將在星期二面對經驗老到的Andy Roddick，Roddick 是一個鬥士，已經打進 澳網準決賽四次並且能看見前往第一個決賽的道路。 If Cilic is going to take out the seventh seed, he had better be ready for a cage match, because Roddick relishes the battle. 如果Cilic想要淘汰這位七號種子，他最好為苦戰做準備，因為Roddick享受戰鬥。 “I believe I'm going to be ready. I'm coming with good background.” Cilic said.“I played great matches, winning against del Potro also shows that I didn't go in that match, not to lose anything. I’ve come to quarters. Now I'm not going to let it go easy.” "我相信我準備好了，我會以好的狀況應戰。"Cilic說。 "我打過好比賽，贏過del Potro也代表我進入比賽並非沒什麼好輸，我已經來到八強， 現在我不會讓機會白白溜走。" --
