Every week on wtatennis.com we'll bring you 10 Things To Know about the week
- who's playing, where and more. This week, we're at one of the biggest stops
on the Road To Singapore: Madrid.
1) This is the second-biggest clay court event of the season.
The Premier Mandatory-level Mutua Madrid Open is the second-biggest clay
court event of the season, after, of course, Roland Garros. And the Road To
Singapore could really heat up in the Spanish capital - Serena Williams and
Simona Halep will battle it out for the No.1 spot on the singles leaderboard,
while any one of four teams could emerge from the week at No.1 on the doubles
leaderboard.
1) 第二大土場賽事
皇冠賽等級的馬德里公開賽是第二大土場賽事，次於法網。
小威 和 Halep 會在這爭奪 Race 第一，
同時女雙四組其中之一可能會升到世界第一。
2) The draw was made on Friday morning and it's very, very interesting...
The Venus Williams against Victoria Azarenka first round match turned heads,
but the winner potentially facing Serena Williams in the third round turned
even more heads - see the full draw here.
2) 籤表已於本週五早上出爐，非常有意思的籤表
第一輪碰頭：大威 vs. Vika，
贏家可能會在第三輪碰到小威。
3) Serena still hasn't lost a match this year.
Serena Williams brings her perfect season to Madrid, going 20-0 on the year
so far - her last match was by far her closest call, though. She's also won
57 of her last 60 clay court matches.
3) 小威今年還沒輸過
小威今年成績為20-0。
土場上近60場的成績為57-3。
4) This is where it all started for Halep.
It's been exactly two years since Simona Halep went from up-and-comer to
world-beater right here in Madrid, and a year ago she was just one win away
from this Premier Mandatory title. Read more here.
4) 這裡為 Halep 發跡處
從馬德里變成世界好手正好兩年，
去年離皇冠賽后冠一步之遙。
5) Sharapova is hoping to find her magic again in Madrid.
After winning 17 of her first 18 matches of the year, Maria Sharapova has
fallen on some hard times, losing her last three - but she made magic here
last year. She's also won 54 of her last 59 on clay.
5) 莎娃希望找回她的魔法
在今年初17-1成績之後，
莎娃顯得掙扎，近三場皆輸球。
但去年發揮神蹟。
土場上近59場成績為54-5。
6) The field is absolutely packed - and we mean packed.
The Top 16 seeds are the Top 16 players in the world - there's no one
missing. Rounding out the Top 8 seeds after Williams, Halep and Sharapova are
Petra Kvitova, Caroline Wozniacki, Eugenie Bouchard, Ana Ivanovic and
Ekaterina Makarova - with Agnieszka Radwanska peeking in at No.9.
6) 參賽陣容非常齊(擠)
種子為世界排名前十六選手。
前八種子為小威、Halep、莎娃、Kvitova、
Wozniacki、Bouchard、Ivanovic、Makarova。
Aga排第九種子。
7) Keep an eye on Kerber...
Angelique Kerber has been the hottest clay court player of the year so far,
putting together an amazing 11-0 record on the surface and winning both
Premier titles so far at Charleston and Stuttgart.
7) 注意Kerber...
Kerber 目前為土場上熱門人選，
成績為11-0。
在今年 Charleston 和 Stuttgart 已奪得冠軍。
8) Keep an eye on Carla too.
Carla Suárez Navarro broke the Top 10 for the first time after reaching the
final of the last Premier Mandatory event in Miami, and she's playing as a
Top 10 player on home soil for the first time here. She's the third Spaniard
to break the Top 10 after Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario and Conchita Martínez.
8) 也注意CSN
CSN在今年邁阿密打進決賽後，
第一次進世界排名前十。
這次以前十的身分在家鄉出賽。
繼ASV和Martínez後，
第三位近世界排名前十的西班牙人。
9) The doubles draw is absolutely packed, too.
Four of the Top 5 teams on the Road To Singapore doubles leaderboard are
here, and any one of them could emerge from this at No.1 - Bethanie
Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova, Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza, Ekaterina
Makarova and Elena Vesnina, and Caroline Garcia and Katarina Srebotnik.
9) 雙打陣容也很齊(擠)
Race前五組合有四組在此出賽，
任何一組在此可能為世界第一。
Mattek-Sands/Safarova、Hingis/Mirza、
Makarova/Vesnina、Garcia/Srebotnik
