Jon Wertheim 关于2007法网女单种子的预测（英文原版＋翻译）(2007-05-30 12:18:55)

Top 16 seeds
前十六位种子

1. Justine Henin: Two-time defending champ usually saves her best stuff for the Slams. Has the good fortune of playing at a time when the rest of the field is banged up, bored or missing entirely. We eagerly await the quarterfinal ("Let? What let?") match versus Serena Williams. Then Jelena Jankovic awaits in the de facto final.

海宁：她一般都会把最好的状态留到大满贯赛事，今年有可能在1/4决赛遭遇小威，还可能在半决赛遇到扬科维奇。

2. Maria Sharapova: Second seed in name only. Nobody's clay-court specialist, Sharapova hobbles in with questionable confidence. Will be lucky to beat crafty lefty Emilie Loit in her first match.

莎拉波娃：名不副实的法网红土2号种子，当然莎拉波娃眼睛里没有什么红土专家，首先要考虑的是在第一轮击败左手选手法国人罗伊特。

3. Svetlana Kuznetsova: Regarded as the best clay-courter of the Russians, Sveta is always a contender -- and she was a finalist in 2006. Still, she seems to lack ballast when the match is on the line.

库兹涅佐娃：被认为是俄罗斯姑娘中水平最高的红土选手，去年拿到了亚军，不多的缺点就是在比赛的最关键时刻缺少一些子弹。

4. Jelena Jankovic: We're playing bandwagon-hoppers here and putting our euros on the streaking Serb. She's playing well and no one else is. Absurdly overloaded schedule is a concern, but at least she comes with plenty of match play. Provided she can keep her head together in a likely semi against Henin, Jankovic could hold the trophy on June 9.

扬科维奇：她球打的很好，也许比赛打了太多了，但是也许她正是喜欢以赛代练，假如她可以保持此前对阵海宁的状态(今年与海宁交锋均打到了决胜盘)，也许今年获得法网女单冠军的会是这个塞尔维亚姑娘。
5. Amelie Mauresmo: Comes into Paris -- an event that has always given her trouble -- with very little confidence or match play. With tennis being tennis and Mauresmo being Mauresmo, that means she's poised for a deep run. Very benevolent draw, plus she's in Sharapova's quarter. Probably not a threat to win, but we could see her in the semis.

毛瑞斯莫：巴黎似乎总在给毛瑞斯莫制造麻烦。她今年可能在1/4决赛中遇到莎拉波娃，谁会打进四强呢？

6. Nicole Vaidisova: Czech seems to have stagnated. Plenty of power but an unimaginative game that leaves little room for a Plan B. Made a run to Roland Garros semis last year, so perhaps she can recapture the magic?

瓦伊迪索娃：捷克人似乎都是天才，力量十足，但是似乎缺少一点B计划，去年进入了法网四强，今年还会有神奇吗？
7. Ana Ivanovic: Has taken on the role as second Serb behind Jankovic. Strong play in Berlin should fire her with some confidence. An all-Serb final is hardly out of the question.

伊万诺维奇：又一个塞尔维亚天才少女，在柏林拿到冠军积累了信心，想要与扬科维奇上演塞尔维亚人的法网决赛还是困难不小。
8. Serena Williams: Doubt her at your own peril, but the loss in Rome, coupled with the surface, doesn't bode well. She also has the ill-fortune of landing on Henin's quadrant. Say this: We'll pay scalpers' prices for those billets.

小威：她在罗马输球了(输给瑞士选手施奈德)，小威将在很可能在1/4决赛遇到海宁，这场比赛将万众瞩目。

9. Anna Chakvetadze: A fun player to watch. She's coming off a successful Slam in Australia. Her draw is relatively tame. But can she step up in a big match?

查克维塔泽：一个值得一看的选手，澳网以来战绩不是特别出色，但是今年法网签表不错，第4轮遇到毛瑞斯莫之前对手都不是很强。

10. Dinara Safina: No longer simply Marat's little sister, but still needs to establish herself at a Major. Big ball-striker and improved mover, but she's in the Serena-Henin quadrant and unlikely to outlive her seeding.

萨芬娜：不能再叫人家萨芬的妹妹了，击球力量十足，移动能力有不少进步，但是她和海宁、小威同在1/4区。

11. Nadia Petrova: Her slide since reaching No. 3 a year ago has affected an already fragile self-belief. Has the elemental game and athleticism to be a force. And she has done well in Paris in the past. But with her game in the breakdown lane, it's hard to see her beating red-hot Jankovic.

佩特洛娃：一年前到达世界第3之后就开始往下滑，她过去在法网经历过荣辱(03年击败塞莱斯，06年却被森上亚希子击败)，今年能击败正当红的扬科维奇吗？

12. Daniela Hantuchova: This we know about Hantuchova: She will play at least one match that will end deep in the third set. She will wilt on clay against a higher-seeded opponent.

汉图楚娃：红土上她似乎难以击败大种子。

13. Elena Dementieva: Former finalist has a track record in Paris but the vectors are really headed in the wrong direction here.

德门蒂耶娃：04年的赛会亚军，这次在2/4区有扬科维奇、大威、佩特洛娃、瓦伊迪索娃等好手一起争夺一个惨烈的四强席位。

14. Patty Schnyder: Swiss Miss-tery is a terminal underachiever in Slams, now on the downside of a mercurial (though entertaining ) career. She did, however, recently outlast Serena -- in a third-set tiebreaker, no less -- and clay suits her loopy, lefty game. Particularly in the Sharapova quadrant, she could make her mark on this tournament.

施奈德：这位左手泥地高手此前还没有在大满贯中有过很出色的表现，在罗马三盘大战击败了小威，这次与莎拉波娃同在4/4区，是杀出重围的好机会。

15. Shahar Peer: Coming off a fine performance in Australia, the Israeli is destined for the top 10. Unlikely to face much opposition until Week Two. Then it becomes a question of whether she can win the big match.

皮尔：在今年的澳网有出色发挥，这个以色列人有进入世界前10的潜力，但是大满贯的第二周是个问题。

16. Li Na: Nice player, but not on clay. Might win a few early rounds against mostly qualifiers and wild cards, but she's not a threat.
李娜：很优秀的选手，但是红土上也许不是，前几轮击败资格赛选手和外卡选手没有问题，但是她不会是夺冠危险人物(第4轮可能遇到头号种子海宁)。

others

其他选手

17. Marion Bartoli: Frenchwoman is always an enigma, but her draw is wide open.

巴托丽：法国本土选手，但是第一轮要遭遇近来状态不错的同胞雷扎伊(刚刚在伊斯坦布尔6-2/6-4击败了莎拉波娃)。

19. Tathiana Garbin: Athletic veteran, playing well of late, has a real shot at the quarters.

加宾：有战斗精神的老将，最近表现不错，也许能进入8强。

22. Alona Bondarenko: One of the better players still flying under the radar.

A-邦达伦科：是一个正在起飞的优秀选手。

25. Lucie Safarova: Clay isn't her ideal surface, but there's a lot of game here. And she's a lefty.

萨法诺娃：红土不是她最理想的赛场，但是她依然能打出不少东西，而且她还是个左手。

26. Venus Williams: Comes in with little momentum -- not much of a clay-court track record. Thanks in part to a kind draw, she should survive 'til the middle weekend. Then she runs into Jankovic.

大威：感谢签表至少可以打到下一个星期的周中，然后第三轮要遇到扬科维奇。

29. Gisela Dulko: A first-team head case, but she won a clay-court title this year and will eventually play to her potential.

杜尔科：今年拿到过红土冠军，而且还有不少潜力。

Dark-horse nation
黑马猜想

Kateryna Bondarenko: Second of Ukraine's answer to the Maleeva sisters.

K-邦达伦科：即保加利马列娃姐妹之后乌克兰姑娘也出了一对优秀的姐妹。

Elena Likhovtseva: On the downside of her career but still dangerous.

利霍夫采娃：2005年的法网四强，虽然已经在职业生涯的末期，但是依然是一个危险的对手。

Maria Kirilenko: A talented player who's yet to pan out.

基里连科：一个天才的球员不应该被遗忘。
