Andy Murray took the row on equal pay in tennis on to Twitter as he traded
blows with the Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky.
网坛同酬议题延烧,穆雷推特网战乌克兰选手Stakhovsky
Stakhovsky is a longstanding and vocal critic of equal prize money for women.
The topic has dominated headlines over the past few days following comments
from the former Indian Wells tournament director Raymond Moore. Moore stepped
down on Tuesday amid uproar over his comments.
Stakhovsky长期对女网同酬议题持反对立场以及Moore事件云云
Murray said Moore’s comments “made no sense at all” and also took on Novak
Djokovic, who fanned the flames in Indian Wells by saying the ATP should push
for more money because men’s matches are more popular. The Briton responded
with a pointed dig at Stakhovsky, the player he beat in the US Open junior
final in 2004, saying a lot more people would watch a match at Wimbledon
involving Laura Robson than the Ukrainian.
穆雷对于Moore的论调斥为无稽,也不认同乔柯维奇将奖金诉诸票房的看法。为了反击球
王,穆雷反将矛头对准其2004年美网青少年单打决赛的手下败将Stakhovsky,藉以举例说
:大多数球迷在温布顿会选择观赏地主女网好手Laura Robson的比赛,而非男网的
Stakhovsky。
In a lengthy exchange on Twitter, Stakhovsky said to Murray: “Thanks for
mentioning me today. Need some attention. Although your argument fails the
moment we leave UK territory.”
此举引发两人在推特的系列网战,Stakhovsky:“谢谢你(穆雷)今天提到我,是需要点
关注了。然而你的论调只在英国本土成立。”
Murray hit back: “As soon as we leave UK territory more people are watching
you than Laura? Really?”
穆雷反击:“一离开英国大家就会改看你的比赛而不是Laura?你确定?”
Stakhovsky, ranked No114 in the world, replied: “The venue in Kiev is ready.
All you need to do is convince Laura to come.”
Stakhovsky(男网世界排名114)回答:“当然,基辅(乌克兰首都)已经准备好了,你
只需要说服Laura过来。”
Murray then brought up a match between the two in Davis Cup in 2006, which he
won 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 to clinch the tie for Britain.
The Scot said: “I played you in a Davis Cup match in Ukraine and there must
have been a thousand people there max!”
穆雷遂重提两人2006在戴维斯杯交手的旧事(当时穆雷直落三胜出):“我之前在乌克兰
戴维斯杯跟你打过,我看现场最多也才一千人。”
Stakhovsky responded by questioning how many empty seats there were, to which
Murray said: “How many empty seats were there Serge? I wasn’t counting was
focused on the getting the W [win].”
Stakhovsky反击穆雷问道:“那你说现场有几个空位?”
穆雷说:“我哪知道现场空位有几个,我才没心思算,我专注在打败你。”
Murray will begin his campaign in Miami on Saturday against either Borna
Coric or Denis Istomin.
