今年澳网已经过去有几周了，夺冠的费德勒和小威正好都是我最喜欢的男女球员，good for me！但是在澳网期间，我所写和关注的所有文字和别人的报道都是关于小威的，似乎冷落了Roger。其实，我几乎看了费德勒的所有7场比赛，之所以没有太关注，是因为我觉得没有必要。观看Roger的比赛，应该用“欣赏”这个词更好，确实是一种享受。他的移动，他的战略，他毁灭性的正手，他的华丽单反……

 

我只能在看到他击出那些很棒的球时，惊叹，惊叹。Andy只能傻傻地看着Roger击出制胜球，几乎被血洗。

 

所以费德勒的夺冠，在我看来是当然的，关键是他以怎样的方式夺冠了。结果7场比赛不丢一盘而夺得冠军，只能说是演绎了完美。呵呵，Roger，真不知道对你说些什么好。

 

SERENA WILLIAMS

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Of all your eight Grand Slam victories ‑‑

SERENA WILLIAMS: Whoo‑hoo!

Q. ‑‑ how does this one rate?

SERENA WILLIAMS: This one is right up there with the top. Even I didn't expect to come in and win it all. I never expected to lose. But, you know, you just always stay so positive. You always go in.

You always think, I'm going to win, I'm going to win. When it really happens, I still can't believe the tournaments over. I feel like there's another match to be played or there's something else.

You know, it's an awesome feeling.

Q. You appeared to be very driven right from the word "go."

SERENA WILLIAMS: Right from "play." I was driven. You know, I've been watching some matches. I was just watching some film. I was just feeling really good about going out there. This morning I woke up ‑‑ yesterday I just felt different than what I did at Wimbledon. I just felt different. I felt like, I feel good. I'm happy. I'm confident. I'm not nervous.

You know, at the end of the day I've done well. I've had blisters, I've been sick, I had diarrhea, and I'm still in the final. Whatever the result, I was going to be happy with whatever happened.

Q. Was the plan more about getting you up or upsetting Maria by being so aggressive so early?

SERENA WILLIAMS: My plan was just to play my game. And that's my game. I finally played it for the first time this whole tournament. That's the way I play.

You know, when I'm staying close to the baseline, I'm playing that way, aggressive. That's the way I was raised. My mom and dad taught me to play that game of tennis. For some reason, I stay on the baseline.

But that was Serena that I've been trying to showcase for years and years. I haven't seen my mom.

Q. We have. She's fine.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Is she?

Q. After you won, you spoke to the camera and said, Thanks for the advice. What was the advice?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, there was this one forehand down the line. I just thought about it when I was hitting it because he said, Meka ‑ because he calls me Meka. Meka, when you go down the line, you definitely got to just look at the ball and you got to get your body weight going.

There's this one shot ‑ and I thought every point was important out there ‑ but that one point I thought was really important. I thought about him and I thought about what he told me to do, and for once I was actually able to listen to it, and that really helped out.

Q. Were you surprised that Maria didn't find answers for your impressive game?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Like I said from the beginning, when I'm playing well, it's difficult for anyone to beat me ‑ on the women's tour, just for the record (laughter). It's difficult for anyone to beat me because I have a unique style. I have a unique game. You know, tennis is what I think I was born to do.

Like I always said, when I'm playing well, it's difficult. I think she did a good job. She never gave up. Down to the last point, she was fighting. That's always something to be complimented for.

Q. One thing is to beat you; another thing is to be overwhelmed. She was destroyed. Is that surprising you a bit or not?

SERENA WILLIAMS: You know, I just went out there, I was focused. You know, I was really focused. I knew what I wanted to do. I'm insatiable. I still think there are things I could have done even better. I knew what I wanted to do when I went out there.

My game plan was to play my game and to stay relaxed. I think if I can do that, then, you know ‑‑ like I always say, if I'm playing good, it's hard for anyone. Doesn't matter what they're ranked. As long as they're on the women's tour, doesn't matter who they are, it's tough for them to beat me.

Q. You missed so much tennis over the last year. Was there any point when you were at home you felt there wasn't going to be an opportunity to get back into the winner's circle? Did you ever feel it had gone?

SERENA WILLIAMS: There's always times out there where you think, you know, Am I ever going to be looking at another trophy? Especially since I hadn't won a tournament ‑ let alone a Grand Slam ‑ I hadn't won a tournament in a long time. You know, you're thinking about, Wow, will there be another time?

As I said, since day one, my parents, my mom and my dad, have always been so positive. They never stopped believing in me. That helps me believe in me. Venus, as well. I live with her, so I'm with her every day. We always, like, believe in ourselves. You know, it works.

Q. How does this impact your motivation, looking ahead, going forward from here?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I'm ready to start training on the clay already. I know it's too soon. I'm ready for the clay courts. I want to go home. I saw some things here I want to work on, I want to share with my dad. I want ameliorate it, ameliorate my game, take it to a new level. I'm ready to do that now, ready to take my game to a new level.

Q. People have always wondered about the small number of tournaments that you play. When do you next intend playing? Are you going to play any more this year than you have in previous years?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I'm definitely playing more than four tournaments this year. I'm supposed to go to India next, Bangalore, the Sony Ericsson there. I'm so excited. I've never been to India. I heard a lot about it. I really look forward to going there. For some reason, I'm really happy to go there. I'm going to India, then Dubai, a couple tournaments after that.

My schedule is not filled, but my schedule is very practical because I'm not high on the exempt list, if you know anything about that. My schedule is really practical. My goal is to stick to it and just make it happen this year.

Q. What will you do to celebrate your win?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Uhm, you know, I'm going to spend some time with my family, maybe some other things. I don't know. I haven't thought about it much yet.

Q. You talked about your focus. How much of that focus came from the memory of your sister?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Uhm, you know, she was ‑‑ every day I write notes, you know, from my match. Not every day, but every match I wrote notes. Today my note was just Yetunde. That was all my notes. That's it.

Usually I write, Look at the ball, move forward, do this, do that. Today I just had one word. You know, every changeover I looked at it and I just thought about how happy she would have been, you know, how much she always supported me.

I just thought about what an amazing sister she was to me. I just said, Serena, this has to be motivating. This has to be more than enough to motivate me, and I think it was.

Q. How long can you carry that through your career?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I mean, I just think it's obviously long‑term. She's gone forever. I just ‑‑ that's not the only thing I get power from. Like I said, I prayed ‑ not to win. I never pray to win; I just pray to be strong, just help me there. I just think I derive a lot of power just from my heart.

I don't know.

Q. You mentioned before you used to speak after matches. There was a nice line about when you spoke to her after the French Open, when you had beaten somebody.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, I beat this girl. I don't remember, it was a long time ago at the French Open. She said, Wow, Serena, you played so well. You beat her like she stole something. I was just laughing because I had never heard that expression before. I was just laughing so hard.

I have so many good memories of my sister. Obviously, she was ‑‑ I remember just so many, so many things from her. That's just one of the things that stick out. She was always so happy for me and Venus. She would come travel with us with her kids sometimes. You know, we had so many unbelievable memories. I take solace in those memories.

Q. Do you remember who you beat so heavily that time?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't remember that. I just remember calling her. She was so happy. She was obviously proud. You know, she was an awesome sister. She's the best.

Q. The time between now and the finish of your match, can you tell us about what you did? Did you let yourself enjoy the moment in some way?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, I was really excited. After the match, I did a little dance. I had to do some media, you know, one‑on‑one interviews. I went to do a drug test, which held me up a little bit. I think, yeah, shower and stuff, yeah.

Q. So, no, you didn't allow yourself to celebrate?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Honestly, I feel like ‑‑ I mean, I know it's over, but it's like I still feel like there's more. Maybe that's for the next tournament. Maybe that's for the French Open. I don't know. I feel like I got to go out and play some more. Feels like I have to come back tomorrow and play another match.

I've got to get that feeling out of my mind. I've got to just like release that. I need to do that now.

Q. Are you going to call Sybille Bammer and tell her, See what I'm capable of?

SERENA WILLIAMS: She was capable of a lot, too. I'm glad I didn't have to play her in this tournament. That's for sure.

Q. Watching Federer and González play in their semifinals, have comprehensive wins, is that a good reminder ‑‑

SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, those wins that ‑‑ Federer played Roddick and crushed him. It's not that he crushed him, it's that he played so well. And then González and Tommy, I mean, González played so well. I thought they played good. I figured if they can do it, I can do it, too.

Q. We didn't see two great men's semifinals here. The women's final was a little bit one‑sided. What do you expect for the men's final? Will it be different or not?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't know about you, but I saw two great men's semifinals. I saw the No. 1 player beat the 'H‑E double hockey sticks' out of another player. I saw Fernando González beat the 'H‑E double hockey sticks' out of another player. Those were great matches. Today you saw the No. 81 player win a great final (smiling).

Those were great matches. Those guys played great. Those were great matches to me. I don't know about to you, but as a player, being in the "industry," I thought they were incredible matches.

Q. Of the seven matches you played, when were you in the most trouble?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Hmm. I was pretty down and out in Petrova's match and Shahar Peer. They were really playing well. I lost the first set in both of those matches. I just had to like come back physically ‑ contrary to popular belief ‑ and mentally. That really helped out. So those two matches. I don't know which one.

But thank God I went through that because, you know, I was able to go through a rough road before I got to the final.

Q. Do you think the means of today's win will make it hard for Sharapova to beat you down the track in a big match?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Sharapova is probably going to go home right now and train on some things and she's going to never want this to happen again ‑ as I wouldn't either. Whether it was 7‑5, 7‑5, if she had lost, she would still go home and train, as I would as well. I'm going to do the same thing because I know someone whose name is not Sharapova, like some other 'ova,' and they're 12 years old in Russia, or wherever they're from, and they are playing hard to get ready for me. That's what I'm going to go train for.

Q. You said, 'physically, contrary to the public opinion.'

SERENA WILLIAMS: Popular belief.

Q. You say also you don't read the papers. Where does this public opinion come from?

SERENA WILLIAMS: You know, you hear things. You hear things.

Q. When Roger came in here the other night, even after that match, even after beating the 'H‑E double hockey sticks' out of Andy, he talked about fear and doubt before the match. Do fear and doubt play any role in your thinking before a match?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I think every athlete has fear naturally. You know, there's always some doubt in your mind maybe. But, uhm, I think that's just the role of an athletic individual. You're going to have a little fear, you know. I was going up against the No. 1 player in the world. Of course, you know, it was like, Okay, she's No. 1. What am I going to do? He was going up against a good player, as well.

I think that's definitely natural.

Q. Will you read the newspapers tomorrow? Are you afraid to have a big head?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Maybe. I don't know. I haven't decided yet. I have to wait to see. 窗体顶端

澳大利亚网球公开赛女单决赛以非种子身份参赛的小威6-1，6-2横扫头号种子莎拉波娃宣告结束，人们无不为之震惊：小威最终王者归来。

 

小威在年初回归女子网坛的时候，人们只知道这位7度大满贯得主绝不是位好“惹”的主，但谁也没想到她能在澳网决赛中上演一场近乎完美的表演。得益于黑人选手先天的身体条件，小威有极强的爆发力和柔韧的身体协调性和场上灵活地跑动移动能力，“女金刚”纳芙拉蒂诺娃曾把小威形容为“具有超人般的潜力”的女选手。正是依靠这些得天独厚的身体素质，小威在还不到18岁的时候就捧起了职业生涯首个大满贯冠军奖杯，随着比赛经验的丰富和技术水平的完善，小威已将四大满贯的奖杯尝了个遍。女子网坛从“辛吉斯时代”逐渐过渡到“威氏姐妹时代”，更确切的说是从技术独领风骚的时代切换到力量当道的时代，小威功不可没。

 

今天的澳网女单1/4决赛，最令人期待的一场比赛在瑞士公主辛吉斯和最后一次参加澳网比赛的克里斯特尔斯之间展开，结果小克以3-6/6-4/6-3击败了辛吉斯，晋级四强。今天是辛吉斯复出以来两人的第四次交手，前三次均是克里斯特尔斯获胜，在战绩上占据了优势。但是在观看比赛的过程中，辛吉斯的灵动和飘逸，实在是太让我喜欢了，球路的清晰，击球的流畅，手感的好，战术的多变，辛吉斯不愧为“公主”。尤其是第一盘和第二盘中体现的淋漓尽致。整场比赛中，辛吉斯的灵气处处闪光，犹如一阵清风，有篇文章更是以 Hingis Breezes through 为标题。反观小克，打法相对单调，一味凭借力量猛攻，造成很多失误（当然跟辛吉斯的多变打发也很有关系），但最终取胜也在于力量上的优势。所以为辛吉斯很惋惜，本来是很有机会的，what a pity!  

克里斯特尔斯虽然在第一局上来就双误，但依靠自己主动进攻轻松保下发球局，随后在辛吉斯的发球局中直落四分取胜，其中包括辛吉斯的两个发球双误，局分2-0领先。第三局辛吉斯在小克握有2个局点的情况下连拿四分回破对手一局。不过第四局小克在主动进攻的情况下接连出现无谓失误，底线进攻出界遭到破发，2-3落后。辛吉斯轻松保发之后，小克在第七局持有发球权，由于主动得分和非受迫性失误并存导致出现6次Deuce后才艰难保发，不过仍以3-4落后。辛吉斯以一记漂亮的网前截击保下第八局。第九局小克失误频频，被对手拿到3个破发点，最后因一记双误以3-6丢掉第一盘。第一盘虽然小克在场上进攻占据了主动，但是失误过多，23记非受迫性失误足足是对手的3倍。很明显小克在第一盘没有打出自己所擅长的快速节奏。

第二盘调整能力超强的辛吉斯利用小克回球落网在自己的发球局中打出一个Love game。小克轻松保发后，很明显在辛吉斯的发球局中加强了进攻，虽然打出了一些另观众叫好的不可思议的球，但也总在关键时刻出现些匪夷所思的无谓失误，辛吉斯艰难保发，2-1暂时领先。小克也在为自己的失误恼火地往地上砸拍子。小克终于在第五局出现转机，利用大角度的调动对手导致辛吉斯回球被动，最终3-2率先在第二盘中打破僵局，轻松保发后，小克4-2领先，进入辛吉斯发球局。辛吉斯在握有三个局点的情况下被小克连得4分拿到破发点，双方几次战平后，辛吉斯功亏一篑再度被破发，2-5落后。眼看小克就要扳回第二盘，辛吉斯的韧劲上来了，小克浪费了几次盘点机会反而面临被破局面，关键时刻小克放小球落网导致发球局被破。辛吉斯艰难保下第九局后，局分仍以4-5落后。看来小克第二盘采取的压制辛吉斯反手的战术产生了效果，辛吉斯的回球屡受压制。小克很惊险地救回破发点，凭借一记反手斜线以6-4结束了第二盘的比赛。

在第三盘前4局中互相取得一次破发以后，双方战成了2-2平，随后小克在第7局浪费了3个破发点后，终于在网前打出一记致胜球，取得破发，取得了4-3的领先。辛吉斯在进入决胜盘后明显体力下降，对于小克接下来的发球局没有造成什么威胁，而在最后自己的发球局中，却很快就被逼出了赛点。最后，辛吉斯跑到网前一记漂亮的大斜线，被脚程超快的小克拍马赶到打出直线穿越。

一如去年澳网的情形，克里斯特尔斯在1/4决赛中淘汰辛吉斯，挺进四强

今天的比赛只能用 magnificent 来形容，小威在最后关键时刻又一次化险为夷，爆发出惊人的能量。看比赛的我，只能是不住地为小威喊 come on! come on! 小威在关键的决胜盘每拿下一分都紧握拳头来振奋自己，关键时刻怒吼的气势令人胆寒。不愧是 Serena.又一次闯入了澳网四强！ 加油~

 

澳大利亚网球公开赛女子单打的1/4决赛中，前澳网冠军小威廉姆斯在3-6先丢一盘的情况下以6-2和8-6连扳两盘，惊险进入决赛。

皮尔第一局就打出一个love game，并在小威的发球局中给她制造了很大麻烦，小威化解了一个破发点仍然是发球局不保，皮尔随后又轻松保住自己第二个发球局，局分3-0领先。

 

第四局小威又被对手逼到了平分，依靠一记ace拿到局点，皮尔又在小威底线正手强力攻击下回球落网，小威首次保下发球局，不过局分仍然是1-3落后。

澳网女单第四轮的比赛中，作为非种子选手出场的小威廉姆斯以6-3/6-2一举击败近来状态正佳的塞尔维亚个性美女扬科维奇闯入女单八强，用实际行动宣告自己的强势归来。

和上轮逆转击败佩特洛娃不同，小威一反常态的进入状态很快，也很主动地寻找机会上网，一上来就破发了扬科维奇的发球局，建立起3-0的领先优势。此时又飘起了雨，比赛被迫中断，也给了扬科维奇一个调节的机会。

扬科维奇重新回到赛场后轻松保住自己发球局，不过仍以1-3落后。扬科随后在小威的发球局中给她制造了不小的麻烦，一记双手反拍直线拿到了破发点，紧接着小威网前高压出界，扬科维奇成功破发还以颜色。小威那充满爆发力的正手横扫杀伤力巨大，扬科维奇在第六局自己的发球局中眼看又被对手拿到2个破发点，最终小威一记网前大力高压将局分扩大至4-2。第七局对双方来说至关重要，小威给观众表演了她那威力四射的凌空抽击，扬科维奇面对小威的威猛的网前截击防守亦不错，双方三次战成Deuce。最后小威以一记正手抽击拿到局点，随后挑战鹰眼成功(显示回球压线仅1公分使裁判改判)，小威很幸运的保下了这局。扬科维奇在保住第八局后进入小威的发球制胜局，小威凭借一记中路Ace球以6-3结束了第一盘的战斗。

 

第一盘技术统计显示，小威的一发得分率要高于对手(72%-58%)，尽管有15记非受迫性失误，但是制胜球达到17个，接近对手的3倍，而且小威的网前得分率高达65%(11/17)。

第二盘小威轻松保住发球局后，在扬科维奇的发球局中浪费了5个破发机会，扬科维奇很惊险地保住了自己的发球局，双方1-1平。扬科在握有两个局点的情况下被小威连追3分，多次Deuce后皮尔力保发球局未遂，局分1-2落后。此时可以看出小威已经完全掌握住了比赛的节奏，扬科维奇的无谓失误明显增多，回球的线路和落点都不足以给小威带来威胁。小威简直是不可抵挡，以一记189公里时速的炮弹般的发球建立起第四局的局点，接着一记奔跑中的双手反拍穿越球拿下这局以3-1领先，在打完这记不可思议的球后小威自己也在兴奋地大叫。第五局扬科总算是轻松保下了发球局，第六局小威连续两记Ace球将领先优势扩大至4-2。第七局扬科被小威左右大角度调动，双方10多个回合后扬科一个滑步上前救球重心不稳趴在了地上，眼神辛酸、失落，小威也为这来之不易的一分而喜极而泣。这个经典之球奠定了小威5-2领先的局势，将小威送入发球制胜局，小威凭借一记Ace球打出了一个love game，从而以6-3淘汰扬科维奇晋级八强，小威显得神采飞扬，向观众挥手致谢。

从赛后的技术统计来看，小威虽然有28记非受迫性失误，但是制胜球高达31个，比对手的3倍还多，而扬科维奇的非受迫性失误却高达22个，薄弱的一发给了小威不少破发机会。值得注意的是，小威的网前得分率高达68%(19/28)，对手只有40%(2/5)。更重要的是，小威高达8记Ace球，时速最快达到189公里，一发平均时速177公里。这些数据向我们揭示小威的强势归来。
