  新浪体育讯 北京时间6月5日消息,李娜再度创造历史的奇迹,成为第一位夺得大满贯单打冠军的中国选手。WTA官网以《李娜:亚洲第一位大满贯冠军》为题,赞美李娜是中国的先驱,缔造多项亚洲纪录。另外李娜也是公开赛时代首夺大满贯单打冠军的选手中,第五年长的球员。

  WTA官网在文章指出,四个月前李娜成为第一个打进大满贯决赛的亚洲人,但是这一次她做得更好。29岁的中国选手李娜于周六以6-4/7-6(0)击败卫冕冠军斯齐亚沃尼,为她所在的大洲赢下第一个大满贯(单打)冠军。

  在巴黎的每一轮李娜都无视赔率被看低的事实获胜。尽管她是赛会六号种子,但是她却在多场比赛中被视为劣势一方。第四轮面对科维托娃、1/4对阵阿扎伦卡以及半决赛打莎拉波娃,李娜均是直落两盘取胜(编者注:李娜实则以三盘击败科维托娃)。

  一年前李娜在法网第三轮和斯齐亚沃尼有过交手,后者当时以2-0取胜。李娜的进攻更加犀利,利用具有杀伤力的击球在第五局取得率先破发。随着斯齐亚沃尼正手回球出界,最终李娜以39分钟拿下第一盘。

  此外,官网还简要描述了比赛过程:在第一盘胜利的激励下,李娜在第二盘再度展开进攻,并在第一局取得破发,将领先优势从2-0、3-1一直维持到4-2。但是比赛没有完结,斯齐亚沃尼继续抗争将比分追平,就像她在1/4决赛中1-6/1-4落后的情况下逆转19岁的帕芙柳琴科娃那样。第二盘斯齐亚沃尼连扳三局将比分反超至5-4领先,并最终将比赛拖入抢七局。但是中国选手重新找回手感,加之斯齐亚沃尼几个来得不是时候的失误造就了戏剧性的转变:李娜以7-0赢下抢七局从而拿下个人首个大满贯冠军。

  “弗兰西斯卡是一名红土选手,她的上旋和切削都很出色,所以我会好好发挥让她多跑动,”李娜称:“她是一名顶尖选手,所以你永远也不知道会发生什么,不知道什么时候她会复苏过来。但是当比赛进入抢七,我告诉自己这就是我的机会。”WTA官网还称李娜是中国的先驱者,并引用她在赛后发布会的话:“在这次比赛之前,人们说我打不好红土。现在他们该改变一下看法了。”

  WTA官网写道:“尽管李娜的同胞孙甜甜、晏紫和郑洁在此前赢得过大满贯女双很混双冠军,但是李娜才是第一个拿到大满贯单打冠军的中国人、亚洲人。她还创造了另一项亚洲纪录--她的排名将升至第四位,追平日本选手伊达公子曾创下的亚洲最高世界排名纪录。”

  WTA官网还谈到李娜所创造的一项新纪录:“公开赛时代以来首次赢下大满贯单打冠军的选手中,李娜是第五年长的球员(去年夺冠的斯齐亚沃尼排第二位)。这对决赛选手年龄总和是60岁零79天,因此这场女单决赛也是公开赛时代年龄第五大的大满贯决赛。

  斯齐亚沃尼曾在去年凭借不可思议的表现夺得个人首座大满贯冠军奖杯,在杀进本次法网的决赛之后,她将自己在罗兰-加洛斯的连胜场次扩大至13场。这位即将年满31岁的意大利人原本有希望成为自1990年纳芙拉蒂诺娃赢下温网冠军后,第一位以30+高龄夺得大满贯冠军的女将。

  原文如下:

  PARIS, France - Four months ago she became the first Asian player ever to reach a Grand Slam final; in her very next opportunity she went one better. 29-year-old Li Na of China won her continent's first ever Grand Slam title Saturday, beating defending champion Francesca Schiavone in a tight final, 64 76(0)。

  Round after round Li overcame the odds in Paris. Although she was the No.6 seed she went into several matches as the underdog, in the fourth round against Petra Kvitova, the quarterfinals against Victoria Azarenka and the semifinals against Maria Sharapova. She took them all out in straight sets, and the final with No.5 seed Schiavone was set on a sunny day on Court Philippe Chatrier。

  In a rematch of their third round duel from the year before, which Schiavone won in straight sets, Li came out looking sharper, blasting her big groundstrokes to perfection and drawing first blood with a break of serve in the fifth game. She went on to win that set in 39 minutes when a Schiavone forehand sailed long。

  Riding the momentum from the first set Li came out firing again in the second set, breaking in the very first game and building leads of 2-0, 3-1 (with a point for 4-1) and 4-2 (with a point for 5-2). But it wasn't over as Schiavone kept fighting to hang onto her beloved title, just like she had in the quarterfinals, where she came from 61 41 down to beat 19-year-old Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova。

  Schiavone closed in on Li in the second set, taking three straight games to go up 5-4, and eventually pushing it to a tie-break; but the Chinese rediscovered the range on her big ground game and a few untimely Schiavone errors made for a dramatic shift in momentum: Li won the breaker at love to win her first major。

  "Francesca is a clay court player - she hits topspin and slice so well, so I just tried to play my tennis and keep her running," Li said. "She's a top player so you never know what will happen and when she will come back in the match, but when we went into the tie-break I told myself it was my chance to do it。

  "Before this tournament, people said I couldn't do well on clay courts," the Chinese trailblazer added. "Now I think they will change their minds."

  Although countrywomen Sun Tiantian, Yan Zi and Zheng Jie had won major titles in women's doubles and mixed doubles before, Li is the first Chinese - and Asian - player ever, male or female, to win a major in singles. There's another Asian record in this as well - she will now rise to No.4 in the world, equalling Japan's Kimiko Date-Krumm's mark for highest-ranked Asian in WTA history。

  Li is the fifth-oldest first-time Grand Slam champion in the Open Era (Schiavone is the second-oldest from her win here last year). The combined age of 60 years and 79 days made this final the fifth-oldest Grand Slam final in the Open Era。

  Schiavone, who had a magical run to her first major here in 2010, extended her winning streak at the event to 13 straight matches with her run to the final. The Italian, who turns 31 in a few weeks, was hoping to become the first 30-something to win a major since Martina Navratilova won Wimbledon in 1990.

  "Today was really tough but I have to say congratulations to Li Na," Schiavone said. "She has grown so much this year and played so well today. I hope she enjoys this moment because it's fantastic. I had my chances and was playing much better in the second set, but she really deserved to win today."

  Like Li had done in the trophy presentation, Schiavone confirmed her plans for next year's Roland Garros fortnight. "For me to kiss the clay every day is something that comes from my heart. I will remember these two weeks and am thankful for everyone's support, as always. I will be back next year."
