Clijsters ready for her final Wimbledon fortnight
Former number one Kim Clijsters confirmed on Sunday that this edition of
Wimbledon will be her last, as the four-time Grand Slam champion prepares to
retire from the game for good after the US Open.
前球后Kim，四次大满贯冠军得主，礼拜日确认今年将是最后一次参加温网，她将在美网
过后正式退休
“I’m too old to play the game that I want to play physically,” Clijsters
said.
在体能上，我已经太老了以至于无法打出我想要的水准
“I’ve put my body through enough strain and everything. The lifestyle I’ve
had for the last 15-20 years. It’s been great. I wouldn’t change it for a
thing,” she said.
我已经让自己的身体经历够多的伤痛，这样的生活型态已经持续15~20年了
“But I’m not going to be the type of player that’s going to change the way
I play or the way that I move. I naturally have that strong movement,
powerful shots, and that’s been able to have me on top of women’s tennis.
但我不会去改变打法或是移位。迅速步伐和强力的攻击是与生俱来的，那也是我能打到女
子网坛顶尖的原因
“Physically I need to be thankful for that, but, yeah, it’s normal that that
’s not going to last 20 years.” editions.
我很幸运能有那样的体能条件，正常来说这样的状况无法维持20年
Clijsters arrived in London after withdrawing as a precaution from a weekend
semifinal in the Netherlands as an old abdominal injury threatened.
Kim在抵达伦敦前，因为腹部旧伤复发，退出荷兰四强的比赛
“It was the left abdominal muscle that I pulled, that I tore last year in
Toronto. It started to flare up a little bit again and I decided not to risk
it by playing the semis,” said Clijsters.
我拉到左边腹部的肌肉，就是去年在多伦多所受的撕裂伤。它又有点发作了，所以我决定
不要冒险
“I decided to pull out of the tournament to give me enough rest to be ready
for my first round here,” she said before opening against Jelena Jankovic.
我决定退出比赛，希望得到充足的休息时间以准备好面对第一轮(对JJ)的比赛
“It will be tough. We’ve had some tough battles in the past. I look forward
to it. Not being seeded, obviously it’s possible that you draw a high seed
(18th). So you have to be ready from the first match onwards.” The Belgian
said that after playing the London Olympics and the Open in New York her life
will change dramatically.
这将会是一场很困难的比赛，我们以前打过一些艰难的战役，我想这次也是如此。不当种
子的结果当然是可能在第一轮抽到大种子，所以从第一轮就必须准备好。Kim也说在奥运和
美网过后她的生活型态会有很大的改变
“My husband and I, we’d like to expand our family. We would like to have
more kids. I own a tennis facility in Belgium that we’re renovating at the
moment. That’s going to be a place where I’m going to be spending a lot of
time, and I look forward to that,” said Clijsters.
老公和我想要有更多的家庭成员，届时我在比利时的网球中心也将重新改造，我将会花
更多时间在那边，我非常期待
“But I don’t think I’m going to be teaching tennis eight hours a day. But
if I can help juniors, some up and coming players to give my experience, then
I would be more than happy to help out.”
但我应该不会一天在那教8小时的网球，不过我可以借由经验分享，帮助一些青少年小
选手，我很乐意去做这些事
Kim加油!!
