http://www.tennis.com/features/general/features.aspx?id=154010 Q: Who would you say was the toughest opponent, and who do you think was the most talented? 你認為誰對你而言是最難打的對手 誰有是最有天份的選手? Most difficult player, toughest to play against, Monica Seles. Just a fierce fighter. Doesn’t let up the whole match. Not where you can feel like if you stay with her for a certain amount of time [you know you’ll get your looks]. With her you knew the intensity was high, her ball-striking immense, the power she had, the left-handed serve. She had, for me, overall the toughest game. Talentwise I look at [Venus and Serena] Williams and just the possibilities with their physical abilities and their court coverage and athleticism. I think they would’ve had the most potential of being the best players out there. 最難打的對手是Monica Seles 他是個傑出的鬥士 他從來不放棄比賽 他不會給你太多讓你覺得跟上他節奏的機會 跟他比賽你知道那個強度是非常高的 他的擊球手感 他的力量 他的左手發球 對我而言他是最難打的 至於以天份來看 我認為是威廉絲姐妹 他們有身體素質 場地覆蓋面積 運動天份 我覺得他們是最潛能成為最好的選手的 Q: But you don’t think they’ve reached that potential? 你認為他們已經發揮了這樣的潛能嗎? At times. They just haven’t shown the consistency. You look at someone like Navratilova who worked on every aspect of her game and her physical side. Or a Justine Henin who literally [used] every talent and everything she [had]. [The Williams sisters] have not gotten to the point where they could. 有些時候是 他們還沒有展示出那種持久性 如果你看Navratilova 他從每個方面都深入的去發展球技以及身體 或是Justine Henin 他簡直用盡了所有天份以及所有他擁有的條件 但威廉絲姐妹還沒有發揮到他們所能發揮的上限 Q: Since you’ve retired there hasn’t been a consistent, dominant champion on the women’s tour. Why do you think that’s been the case? 自從你退休之後 女子網球還沒有出現一個長期主宰的冠軍 你認為原因是什麼 I think just the game in general has so many more top players. The field has gotten a lot stronger, wider. That makes it always tough on the top players. Tough to be consistently on top of the game. You have the Williams sisters, you have Maria Sharapova, and all the Russian players, there are so many great players out there. 我認為現在的頂尖選手更多了 陣容更強大 競爭更開放 這樣的挑戰讓頂尖選手的處境更艱難 很難長期持久的保持頂尖 我們有威廉絲姐妹 我們有Maria Sharapova 還有其他的俄羅斯選手 現在有太多好球員了 -- --
