There are times, nevertheless, when the big names can seem intimidating, as Keothavong discovered at a tournament in California last summer. "I was on the practice court, just sorting out some stuff in my bag," the British No 1 recalled yesterday. "Serena Williams walked straight up to me and said, in that funny voice she does, 'I used to think you were a nice girl'. I thought, 'What is she talking about?' She repeated it and I said to her, 'I am a nice girl'. At the same time I was thinking, 'Where is this going? Is she winding me up?' 有些時候大明星們還是很嚇人的 就像Keothavong去年夏天在加州一個比賽經歷的那樣 "我在練習場 正在收東西 Serena Williams從我旁邊走過 用一種好笑的聲音跟我說'我之前以為你是個好女孩哩'" 我那時候想'蛤 他在說什麼?' 他又說了一次 我跟他說'我是個好女孩' 我還是在想'他在說什麼? 是想作弄我嗎?'" "Then out of nowhere she said, 'You made Venus's ear bleed'. I said, 'Did I? When?' She was talking about my match against Venus at Wimbledon last summer. I said, 'I didn't mean to hit her in the face. The ball was there and I just hit it. I was expecting her to move'. It certainly wasn't intentional. I told Serena, 'It couldn't have been that bad. Venus did win the tournament. I probably did her a favour'. "他接著說'你害Venus的耳朵流血了' 我回他'有嗎? 什麼時候' 他是說去年溫網我跟Venus的比賽 我跟他說'我不是故意打他的臉的 球在那個地方 我只是去打而已 我以為他會躲開' 我不是故意的 我跟Serena說'沒那麼糟嘛 至少Venus贏了冠軍 搞不好我幫他開了運'" "I was waiting for Serena to start laughing, and eventually she did. I think I did convince her that I am a nice girl, though Venus did have to see the doctor that week and her ear was bleeding. Serena was very kind to me for the rest of the week, so I'm sure she must have been winding me up. But it was a very odd moment." "我正在等Serena笑 他也真的笑了 我想我說服他我是個好女孩了 雖然Venus那個禮拜得去看醫生 耳朵還流血 後來Serena整個禮拜都對我不錯 所以我想他肯定當時是想作弄我 但當時真是尷尬極了" -- --
