莎娃入围年终赛
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.
莎娃红土赛季表现耀眼，夺得第二座法网后冠，第七次入围年终赛
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，莎娃将第七次在年终赛出赛。
2004第一次入围于洛杉矶举行的年终赛，
打败小威夺冠。
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) 之后
自年终赛夺冠后，莎娃在2007与2012仅获亚军。
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) 红土女王
在欧洲红土赛季中，莎娃于斯图加特(470分)、马德里(1000分)，
以及法网(2000分)夺冠。
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) 欢迎回归
去年因肩伤退出，2008~2009间因肩伤与手术无法参加赛事。
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) 接下来
下一站莎娃出席的赛事为武汉，再来是北京。
