Serena strolls on January 21, 2007 SEVEN-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams continued to roll back the years as she crushed No.11 seed Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 6-2 to gatecrash the Australian Open quarter-finals. 七屆大滿貫冠軍小威今天打敗了11種子Jankovic闖進八強 The unseeded Williams, a winner here in 2003 and 2005, crushed eleventh seed Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 6-2 in front of an adoring crowd at the Rod Laver Arena after passing the sternest test yet in her comeback from injury. 身為非種子的兩屆冠軍小威今天在觀眾面前以6-3 6-2通過這場在復出後的嚴峻考驗 The 25-year-old American, who has been accused of lacking fitness, still had a spring in her step after an 83 minutes victory in humid conditions, letting loose several celebratory "woo-hoos" as she prepared to leave the court. 他最近一直被認為身體條件不佳 但是在潮濕的條件下仍然表現的很有活力 離開場前一直興奮的"喔呵"叫著 "It was absolutely sensational, you know I had a lot of fun out here and I just enjoy Rod Laver Arena a lot, I play some of my best tennis here," she said. 我一直很喜歡Rod Laver Arena 我在這打出一些生涯最好的表現 "I'm really enjoying myself and I feel really good." 我現在對自己很滿意而且感覺很棒 Williams, whose layoff has seen her slip to 81 in the world rankings, hit shots with her old venom, served powerfully and attacked ferociously as she dominated the match. 小威的排名已經因休戰跌到81了 但他今天還是用他一貫兇狠的球風.強大的發球.驚人的攻擊主宰整場比賽 Just as importantly, she avoided the lapses of concentration and slow starts that have marred her previous outings here, in which she was almost eliminated by No.5 seed Nadia Petrova before staging a remarkable comeback. 關鍵的是他今天克服了不專注跟慢熱的狀況 這些問題差點讓他上輪就被Petrova掃地出門 Williams will meet Israeli No.16 seed Shahar Peer in the quarter-finals in a half of the draw thrown wide open by the shock elimination of defending champion Amelie Mauresmo earlier Sunday. 小威在momo意外出局後人人有機會的下半籤八強將對上以色列的16種子Peer If Williams overcomes Peer, she faces either Mauresmo's conqueror, the unseeded Czech Lucie Safarova, or No.10 seed Nicole Vaidisova in the semi-final. 如果小威過了這一關 他會碰到今天打贏momo的Safarova或第10種子Vaidisova The win over Jankovic adds credibility to Williams' declarations that she is back among the game's elite. 這場勝利增加了小威的回歸宣言的可信度 The fiesty Serb world No.12 is considered one of the rising stars of women's tennis, winning her first tournament of the year in Auckland and pushing Kim Clijsters all the way in the final of the Sydney International. 這位賽黑排名12的女孩被認為是女網的一顆新星 他今年先贏下Auckland 還在Sydney讓Kim Clijsters滿場飛奔差點輸球 She had also beaten Williams in two of their three previous meetings, but admitted that this time Williams' intensity caught her off guard. 他在之前跟小威的三次交手打贏兩次 但他承認小威這次的強度讓他只能被控制 "In the first few games she would hit a slow ball, I would hit it back, and then all of a sudden a 200 mile ball comes so fast," said Jankovic. Jankovic說 剛開始他會打出幾個慢一點的球 我可以回過去 但突然一個200英里的球就這麼快的轟過來了@@ Williams said she wanted to improve her ranking later in the year but for now was content to strike fear into her potential opponents here. 小威想要讓排名更進步但他現在很滿意讓每個可能的對手都感到恐懼的感覺 "I like being a dangerous floatie, it's fun," she said. 我喜歡當危險人物 這很好玩 -- --
