塞爾維亞的諾瓦克·德約科維奇(Novak Djokovic)是世界上最優(yōu)秀的網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動(dòng)員之一。他獲得了68個(gè)ATP職業(yè)網(wǎng)球錦標(biāo)賽的桂冠,其中包括12個(gè)大滿(mǎn)貫冠軍,其中六個(gè)大滿(mǎn)貫來(lái)自于澳大利亞墨爾本公開(kāi)賽。
Chung Hyeon of South Korea has won just one, an ATP tournament for players at the age of 21 and younger last November. Chung started playing tennis at the age of 6. His professional tennis biography said, "Growing up, [I] looked up to Novak Djokovic because of his ‘fantastic game and mental strength.'"
韓國(guó)的鄭泫(Chung Hyeon)只在去年11月舉行的21歲以下選手ATP錦標(biāo)賽上獲得過(guò)一項(xiàng)冠軍。鄭泫6歲開(kāi)始打網(wǎng)球。他的職業(yè)網(wǎng)球自傳中寫(xiě)道:“從小到大我一直崇拜德約科維奇,因?yàn)樗木时荣惡途窳α俊?rdquo;
When Novak Djokovic stepped on the court at the Australian Open Monday against Chung, he did not know that he was about to see a clone of himself.
當(dāng)?shù)录s科維奇踏上澳網(wǎng)公開(kāi)賽的球場(chǎng)迎戰(zhàn)鄭泫時(shí),他并不知道即將看到自己的一個(gè)翻版。
The difficult match lasted three hours and 21 minutes. Djokovic battled an opponent who chased down balls and returned shots from every angle. These are the defensive skills that Djokovic is known for.
這場(chǎng)艱苦的比賽歷時(shí)三小時(shí)二十一分鐘。德約科維奇與一位滿(mǎn)場(chǎng)飛奔以及詭異回球的對(duì)手進(jìn)行了對(duì)抗,這些都是德約科維奇揚(yáng)名立萬(wàn)的防守技巧。
Chung won 34 of the 54 rallies that continued for at least nine strokes. In the second set, Chung won a 33-shot rally. Chung also saved 14 of the 19 break points he faced against Djokovic. And he hit 39 winning shots against one of the fastest professional tennis players today.
鄭泫贏得了54個(gè)至少擊球9次的多拍回合中的39個(gè)。在第二盤(pán)中,鄭泫贏得了一個(gè)擊球33次的回合。鄭泫面對(duì)德約科維奇還救回了19個(gè)破發(fā)點(diǎn)中的14個(gè)。同時(shí)他在對(duì)抗當(dāng)今速度最快的一位職業(yè)網(wǎng)球選手中打出了39次制勝球。
The young Korean celebrated very little after defeating Djokovic in straight sets, 7-6, 7-5 and 7-6. But the crowd, which included many Koreans, stood and cheered him.
這位年輕的韓國(guó)選手在以7:6,7:5和7:6的比分直落三局擊敗德約科維奇之后沒(méi)有過(guò)多慶祝。但是包括很多韓國(guó)人在內(nèi)的觀眾都站起來(lái)為他歡呼。
Djokovic called Chung's play "an amazing performance." He said, "Whenever he was in trouble he came out with some great passing shots and at the back of the court he was like a wall."
德約科維奇稱(chēng)鄭泫打出了一場(chǎng)精彩的比賽。他說(shuō):“每當(dāng)他遇到麻煩,他總會(huì)打出一些漂亮的穿越球。而在球場(chǎng)后面他就像是一堵墻。”
After the match, Chung said, "I can play two more hours. I‘m younger than Novak so I don't care!"
鄭泫在比賽之后表示:“我還能再打兩小時(shí),我比德約科維奇年輕,所以我無(wú)所謂。”
About his play, he said, "I was just trying to copy Novak because he's my idol. My dreams have come true tonight."
關(guān)于這場(chǎng)比賽,他表示:“我只是試圖模仿德約科維奇,因?yàn)樗俏业呐枷瘛=裢砦业膲?mèng)想成真了。”
With his victory, Chung became the first Korean to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal. He will face American Tennys Sandgren in the next round.
隨著這場(chǎng)勝利,鄭泫成為首位打進(jìn)大滿(mǎn)貫四分之一決賽的韓國(guó)選手。下輪他將迎戰(zhàn)美國(guó)選手泰尼斯·桑德格倫(Tennys Sandgren)。
