No one wants Novak Djokovic to be the best player ever, but he might be
没人想要Novak变成史上最好的球员，但他可能是
Djoker might be a pain, but it’s getting harder and harder to ignore him
Djoker虽然让人讨厌，但却越来越难忽视他
When discussing tennis history, people’s tastes will always influence and
muddy debates about who’s what and the places they hold. Because it’s an
individual sport that incorporates so many styles among its players that what
one individual prefers watching will always make them lean in one direction
or another about the player that lords over the game.
当讨论到网球历史的时候，人们的喜好总是会影响并让历史地位的争论进入泥巴战。
因为这是一个个人运动，每个球员都有不同的特质，人们喜欢看的特质会让他们
更倾向某一个特定球员并为他加冕
Because, when the argument is reduced simply to what’s on paper or what’s
tangible, there’s less and less reason to not anoint Novak Djokovic the best
of all time. Djoker racked up his second French Open today, his 19th Grand
Slam overall, leaving him one behind Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. He beat
Nadal along the way at Roland Garros, his second win over him in that
stadium. The field has one. He has a winning record against both. He has won
every Grand Slam at least twice, something the other two can’t say. He has a
real shot at being the first to collect the calendar Grand Slam, as he’s the
defending champion at Wimbledon and he’s won three times in New York.
Assuming he doesn’t get himself tossed again, he’ll be the favoire there
too.
因为，如果仅仅是看数据的话，我们已经快要没有借口认为Novak不是史上最佳球员。
Djo拿到了第二个法网。他的第19座大满贯，让他只落后Rafa和Roger一座。
他拿冠的时候，还顺便打败了Nadal，生涯第二次在法网击败他。
他跟Rafa还有Roger的对战记录都领先，他赢了每个大满贯至少两次，而其他两个人
却无法说嘴。他有机会成为第一个全年大满贯的人，因为他是温布顿的卫冕者，
而他也在纽约拿了三次冠军。只要他不再被驱逐出场，他绝对是这两个比赛的
夺冠热门
Djokovic also had to go into deeper water to win this tournament than ever
before, somehow escaping the clutches of the hydra Nadal in the semis in over
three hours (including the third set which some will tell you was the best
set of tennis ever played) and then coming back from down two sets to none in
the final against Stefanos Tsitsipas in over four. He hadn’t done the latter
before, and no one had ever really broken down Nadal at the French in the way
Djokovic did. The last time Djokovic beat Nadal in Paris, Nadal was having
physical issues, so it wasn’t much of a surprise then. This time, Nadal was
looking to be nearly as much on auto-pilot as he was last year when he didn’
t drop a set. As Djokovic said, beating Nadal at the French is probably the
hardest task in sports. It’s the biggest “home” advantage. It’s as if the
Islanders not only had their rabid home base but could also have the ice
surface tilt or rotate in ways to benefit them.
要赢的这个比赛，Djo必须要潜到更深的水域，他逃离了九头蛇Nadal的爪子，
然后在0比2落后的情况下打败7784。他之前没有在大满贯0:2还获胜过，更不用说
没有人可以在法网向Djo一样打败最强的Nadal。
上次Djo打败Nadal的时候，Nadal身体有状况，但这次，Nadal到四强的过程就像是
自动驾驶一般，跟去年一样一盘未失。就像Djo说的，在法网打败Nadal是所有运动
中最难的任务。毕竟Nadal有所有运动中最大的主场优势
Once Djokovic came out on top in that third set, where each player redefined
the term (shot-making), Nadal looked beat in a way he almost never does. His
body started to give in, he looked tired, and most of all he looked resigned.
This is not something that happens to a player who plays every point as if it
’s his last. Nadal hit the star-button punch, missed, and then was fodder.
当Djo拿到了第三盘的时候，Nadal身上看到以前没看过的挫败。他的身体开始投降了，
他看起来很累，而且基本看起来不想再打了。这不是应该在一个每一分都努力到底的
球员身上看到的，因为每一分对于Nadal来说都像是最后一分。
Nadal按下去导弹按钮，没有命中目标，就变成了炮灰。
In the final, that effort looked like it had taken too much out of Djokovic
in the first two sets. Tsitsipas, himself having been in a near four-hour
semi, was springy and vicious, pummeling forehands and serves wherever he
wanted and lasering one-handed backhands that couldn’t help but make one
think of Federer in his pomp. He brutalized a seemingly spent Djokovic in the
second set 6-2.
在决赛的时候，在前二盘，看起来四强的付出对Djo造成了很大的负担。
7784，四强也打了快4小时，看起来活跳跳的，当他想要的时候，可以连续正手
或是发球得手，他的雷射反拍看起来跟费德勒一样华丽，他狠狠的痛击了看似干枯的
Djo，以6-2拿下了第二盘
But the thing about Djokovic, other than his other worldly fitness levels, is
that his game doesn’t take much to correct when it goes off the boil. When
Federer starts spraying backhands, you feel like he might never get it back
and that level of precision can be a needle in a haystack to relocate. Nadal
usually breaks down physically when he does lose, and that only gets solved
by rest.
但对于Djo来说，除了他世界级的身体状况，他的比赛要修正很容易。
当费德勒的反拍开始全垒打的时候，你会觉得他的反拍永远不会再回来了，因为这需要
像是在大海捞针的精确度。
Nadal，当他真的输的时候，他的身体几乎也快不行了，而这只有靠休息才能解决
Djokovic’s game is just about clean and efficient hitting, so he just needs
to adjust the dial on his sites a click or two instead of engaging in a
massive overhaul. The tide turned in the third set’s fourth game, an
11-minute taffy pull that saw Tsitsipas fight off four break points before
succumbing to the fifth.
Djo的比赛只是干净和有效的挥击，所以他只要稍微调整一下击球目标而不需要大修。
在第三盘的第四局，反击的浪潮出现，7784在守下四个破发点后失去了第五个。
And maybe that’s one of the big reasons only Djokovic’s most ardent fans
choose him over Federer or Nadal. Whereas Federer stands for elegance and
Nadal barely controlled fury, the defining adjective for Djokovic is
obstinance. He just leans on opponents. There aren’t defining shots, though
he’s more than capable of them as the semifinal showcased. It’s just the
repeated ground game of returns and groundstrokes hit so deep so consistently
and watching his opponents fold up like tin foil. No one can live under that
constant drone and hum of pressure of every ball landing near their ankles,
pushing them somewhere near the concession stand when the point is over. And
the longer a match goes, the more likely Djokovic is to win. He drags
everyone to deep water, and then basically leaves them alone and watches them
drown.
这或许也是为什么只有Djo的狂粉会选择Djo而不是费或纳。
费德勒代表的是优雅，而纳达尔是控制的狂野, Djo的代表字是顽强。
他只是拖着对手，没有太多象征性的击球，只是不断地把球回深，把球打深，打到最后
看着他的对手像铝铂纸一样卷起来。
在每一球都像无人机一般一直飞到你的脚边的时候，很少有人可以活下来，最后只能
不断地的被逼退直到这分结束（是说小卡很喜欢站在线后击球真的克到囧)
只要比赛越长，Djo就越可能赢，他把所有人拖到更深的水中，然后慢慢的看他们溺死
Djokovic found his second serve, wasn’t broken in the third, fourth, or
fifth set, and even for a four-hour, five set match, his win
seemed...routine. It just moved orderly to the finish, as it always seems to
do with Djokovic. He leaned and leaned on Tsitsipas until the Greek just
backed up and backed up and then fell over.
Djo在第三盘后找到了他的二发，即使在四小时，五盘的比赛中，他的胜利看起来很
公务员。比赛很有秩序的结束，好像只跟Djo有关。他不断地像水鬼一样拖着7784，
直到希腊人不断地想要浮出水面，却又沈下去
So it must be aesthetics. Djokovic is unquestionably galaxy-brained. He has
the far more interesting background than Federer or Nadal, emerging from
modest means in a war-torn country. Yet sympathy for Serbians always seems to
run short. Back in the day he exhibited a sense of humor that neither of the
other two have but really only got him in trouble in tennis’s decidedly
stuffy world.
所以这或许跟美感有关。Djo跟Federer或是Nadal比背景更有趣，他来自于
被战火摧残的国家，但他却很少受到同情。当他早期展现他幽默有趣的一面的而其他
两人都没有的时候，他反而在网球这个窒息的文化中陷入麻烦
You can tell the way he openly begs for crowd support either during or after
matches that it matters to him. That he recognizes he generates more
appreciation and respect than straight love and adulation.
你可以从他只在重要的比赛中寻求观众的支持看出来，在那种情况下他可以
得到更多的欣赏和尊重，而不仅仅是喜爱或是奉承
Maybe the day will come when he just is happy to have all the accomplishments
and wins. Starting to look like he’ll have more of those than anyone else.
或许当他拥有一切的胜利和成就的时候，他会拥有比其他人更多的欣赏和尊重
心得：
Djo的比赛很简单，就是磨
球如果打歪了要修正也不难
不断地的磨磨到把对手的五感都失去了
就赢了
