莎娃入圍年終賽
Maria Sharapova's dominant clay court season, highlighted by a second French
Open triumph, helped secure a spot at the WTA Finals for a seventh time.
莎娃紅土賽季表現耀眼，奪得第二座法網后冠，第七次入圍年終賽
1) Seven up
This October, Maria Sharapova will compete in the WTA Finals for a seventh
time. She made her debut at the season-ending showpiece, then held in Los
Angeles, in 2004, defeating Serena Williams on her way to the title.
1) 七次
今年十月，莎娃將第七次在年終賽出賽。
2004第一次入圍於洛杉磯舉行的年終賽，
打敗小威奪冠。
2) Since then…
Since her triumphant introduction to the Finals, the Russian has tried in
vain to repeat the feat, coming closest in 2007 and 2012, when she finished
as runner-up.
2) 之後
自年終賽奪冠後，莎娃在2007與2012僅獲亞軍。
3) Queen of clay
The bulk of the 5,575 points that took Sharapova across the finishing post
came during the European clay court season, during which she won the
Stuttgart (470 points), Madrid (1,000) and French Open (2,000) titles.
3) 紅土女王
在歐洲紅土賽季中，莎娃於斯圖加特(470分)、馬德里(1000分)，
以及法網(2000分)奪冠。
4) Welcome return
Last year, a shoulder injury brought Sharapova’s campaign to a premature
end, forcing her to miss the Finals. The same injury and subsequent surgery
also contributed to the Russian’s absence from the event in 2008 and 2009.
4) 歡迎回歸
去年因肩傷退出，2008~2009間因肩傷與手術無法參加賽事。
5) What’s To Come
Sharapova’s next outing on tour comes in Wuhan followed by Beijing, which is
likely to be her last tournament before heading to Singapore.
5) 接下來
下一站莎娃出席的賽事為武漢，再來是北京。
