繼宣布將首次到紐西蘭參賽之後 大威又宣布了一個驚人的賽程 他要跑去馬來西亞參加吉隆坡的比賽 不過可以理解 大威之前數度說自己很喜歡去一些沒去過的國家 但是由於前幾年排名都很高 在2008年之後大威就因為WTA的規定沒機會趴趴走 只能去各地打表演賽 沒有什麼機會去各國參加比賽 今年大威休戰大半年排名大跌 不過也因此下個賽季不必再受到WTA的限制 可以照他的意願安排賽程到各地走走了 還可以藉由參加競賽張力較低的小比賽找回手感跟信心 也不失為一件壞事 ------ http://tinyurl.com/chwlyo5 Venus Williams will focus on Malaysian Open for her Olympics preparation Former world number one, Venus Williams of the United States, believes her Malaysian Open campaign will serve an essential stop for getting ready for the Olympic Games next year. The $220,000 WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) event will be played on the outdoor hard courts of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia from 27th of February next season. The 31-year-old American veteran is eyeing for her fourth gold medal at the mega sports gala next summer and is labouring extremely hard to get her form and fitness right. Venus’ persistent injuries have sidelined her from professional tennis circuit for most of the last two WTA seasons, dropping the American to 104th rank in the women’s ranking by this year’s end. Venus earned her first Olympic gold medal in 2000 Sydney games in the singles category of tennis and then teamed up with her sister, Serena Williams, to claim gold in doubles at the same venue as well. The Williams Sisters repeated the similar feat at the 2008 Beijing Olympics again and Venus believes she will make her comeback in 2012 WTA season to capture her fourth gold medal. “I feel good. My aim for 2012 is to get back into the top of the rankings and of course London will be the highlight for me,” said Venus, “With the Olympic tennis tournament to be held at Wimbledon next year, the BMW Malaysian Open will be a great opportunity for me to prepare for the rest of the season. Malaysia is a very important stop during my comeback schedule and will be fantastic opportunity to improve my strength” Her injuries and illness have already pushed her out of the top-100 in WTA singles rankings and it will take some committed effort from the former world number one to break back in the winners’ circle in the next season. Venus played just four tournaments this season, failing to bag any championship title due to her debilitating physical conditions. The American is well known for her power-hitting and her belligerent stroke play is feared by most of the opponents on all kind of surfaces. Venus has always made strong come backs after an injury lay-off and it is hoped that the American veteran keeps with her trend of blasting her way into the winners circle in the next season as well. Malaysian Open will be a vital stop for Venus to test her fitness levels and get back her vintage form for the prestigious Olympic gold. -- 冰河期有完結篇 寒武紀從王菲聽來 地球要是可以 請帶走我的安全感 狂歡都是極短篇 回收了酒瓶才明白 總會有一首歌 唱清楚你的方向感 --
