Tough Argentine Guillermo Canas became just the second player to defeat Roger Federer more than once during his unbroken 165-week reign as ATP World No. 1 after edging the Swiss 7-6(2), 2-6, 7-6(5) in an epic battle in the fourth round of the Sony Ericsson Open Tuesday. And Canas has achieved the rare feat in just over two weeks, having first beaten Federer in the second round of the Pacific Life Open on March 11. Federer lost just two matches on hard courts all of last year.
星期二﹐於邁阿密大賽第四輪史詩般的對抗 ﹐頑強的CANAS 以7-6﹐2-6﹐7-6險勝FEDERER﹐ 成第二位打敗FEDERER 兩次的球手﹐也終結FEDERER 165周不敗的紀錄。而CANAS 的確創出史上少有的佳績﹐兩個禮拜中兩次打敗FEDERER﹐上次是 3月11日 INDIAN WELLS 大賽第二輪。去年一整年﹐FEDERER 於硬地戰續輝煌僅有兩敗。

Canas, who had to win two qualifying matches to make the main draw, continued his stunning comeback following a 15-month doping suspension. Canas was ranked No. 514 when he returned to the ATP circuit in September last year but has cut that to No. 55 and will break into the Top 50 by reaching the Miami quarterfinals.
CANAS﹐經過了艱果的資格賽才取得邁阿密大賽的門票﹐繼續他15個月禁賽復出後的驚奇復出之旅。去年九月CANAS 重回ATP時排名 512﹐前一陣子已變成第55 ﹐打進邁阿密八強後他將擠進前50。

The first set was a battle between Federer's powerful shot making (18 winners to seven) and Canas's dogged determination and baseline retrieving, which often lured the top seed into error as he pressed for too much. Federer made 19 unforced errors to Canas's 10 in the first set and also made a number of uncharacteristic blunders at the net and missed overheads.
第一盤是FEDERER 強攻(18 : 7致勝球) 和CANAS 頑強抵抗及底線長抽的角力﹐CANAS 底線拉拒戰術迫使FEDERER 為了搶攻而頻頻失誤。 FEDERER 犯了19次失誤(而CANAS 只有10個)﹐且在網前有不少離譜的表現﹐高空殺球也多次犯錯

But Federer lifted a gear in the second set and his sublime shot making was on full display as he ran away with the set 6-2. Canas looked a beaten man early in the third set. Federer broke in the first game of the third set and soon after held two break points for a 3-0 lead as Canas's legs lacked their early spark. But the Argentine clung to life, eventually clawing back the break of serve to force a tie-break.
不過﹐第二盤FEDERR 展開強力反攻﹐他發揮了過人的水平﹐打出很多好球因此以 6-2 搶下第二盤。 CANAS 在第三盤開始看起來像鬥敗之雞﹐毫無招架能力。FEDERER 一開始趁CANAS 欲振乏力之際便搶得先機率先破發取得3-0領先。然而 阿根廷人再次展現鬥志﹐最後將比賽逼到搶七。

The decisive moment in the tie-break came when Federer served at 4/5 to the ad court. Having stretched Canas wide to the backhand, Federer took a swinging forehand volley at a high, mid-court floater, dumping it into the middle of the net to hand the Argentine two match points. Federer saved the first but then took a swing and a miss at a Canas first serve down the middle.
在搶七關鍵時刻﹐FEDERER 4-5 時發球﹐把CANAS 拉出反拍位置﹐FEDERER 對中場一個高旋球打出網前截擊卻不幸下網﹐給予阿根廷人兩個賽末點。FEDERER 救了第一個﹐但是CANAS 再發球時FEDERER 回球終究失誤。

Federer later said of the missed swinging volley: "You're not going to take it on the overhead, but I didn't want to let it bounce, so the obvious choice was to forehand drive. It's a tough shot to hit. I guess at 15-0 and 1-0 in the first set, that's not a problem. But it was tough. It was getting into the night. It was day in the beginning and night in the end, and it kind of made it a bit tricky and I messed it up."
FEDERER 賽後談到那致命的截擊 "你不想在空中扣殺﹐但我也不願意讓他落地彈起﹐所以那時直覺反應就是以正拍攻擊﹐但那是高難度的。我想﹐如果那是在第一盤 1-0 後第二局 15-0 的情況下﹐不會發生這種錯誤的。可是在那節骨眼相對就困難多了﹐比賽接近夜晚﹐比賽從白天開始﹐到快結束時已經是晚上﹐一切變得很難掌握﹐而我就這麼搞砸了。"

Another telling factor was break point conversions. Federer earned 16 break point chances but converted just four. Canas earned only five break point opportunities but converted three times.
還有另一項指標值得玩味--破發率。FEDERER 有16次破發機會但只有4次成功﹐反觀CANAS 只拿到5次破發便成功把握了三次。

Federer now sets his sights on the tough European clay court season as he attempts to complete his set of Grand Slam trophies at Roland Garros. "I'm going to play Monte Carlo, Rome, Hamburg, French Open, Halle, Wimbledon, and that's all big tournaments in Europe. It's going to make it hard. So I need a break here after this, and then I'm going to start practicing and get to Monaco early and hopefully play well."
FEDERER 現在將希望寄托在艱困的歐洲紅土賽季﹐並期許能奪下法網。"我要參加蒙特卡羅﹑羅馬﹑漢堡﹑法網﹑哈雷及溫網﹐而這些都是歐洲的大賽。一切感覺更困難了﹐所以在這比賽之後﹐我需要休息一陣子﹐然後開始訓練﹐早點到蒙特卡羅去﹐希望能取得佳績"

Canas is enjoying a career-best 15-3 start to the year, which includes his run to the Costa do Sauipe title in Brazil last month (d. Ferrero).

CANAS 今年戰為傲人的15-3﹐包含上個月的巴西公開賽的冠軍 (決賽擊敗 JC FERRERO)。
