King Rafa of clay
“紅土之王”納達爾法網(wǎng)再奪冠！
No athlete has ever been better at any venue than Rafael Nadal has been on the clay at the French Open.
沒有一位運動員能超越法網(wǎng)公開賽紅土場地上的拉菲爾·納達爾。
On June 9, the 33-year-old Spanish player won his 12th French Open, after a difficult year in which he was bothered by injuries that led him to pull out of 10 tournaments. This achievement marked his 18th major singles crown, and pulled him within two of his frenemy Roger Federer's record 20 men's singles major titles.
6月9日，這位33歲的西班牙運動員第12次問鼎法網(wǎng)冠軍，此前一年，他都飽受傷病困擾，退出了10場錦標賽。這次奪冠也讓他的大滿貫總數(shù)上升至18個，進一步逼近與其亦敵亦友的羅杰·費德勒所保持的20冠記錄。
On June 7, Nadal and Federer met in the semifinals of French Open, which ended the 37-year-old Swiss player's quest for his 21st major title.
6月7日，納達爾和費德勒在法網(wǎng)半決賽相遇，并結束了這位37歲瑞士名將沖擊個人21冠之路。
"If you want to achieve something on the clay, inevitably, at some stage, you will go through Rafa," Federer told the Arab News after the match. "The way he defends the court and plays on clay, there's nobody who even plays remotely close to him."
“如果你想在紅土場地上獲勝，到一定階段你無可避免地會遇上拉菲，”費德勒賽后在接受《阿拉伯新聞報》采訪時如此表示。“他在紅土場地上的防守以及打法，無人能夠企及。”
Meanwhile, Nadal said that having Federer in the semifinals was an extra bonus. "We've shared the most important moments of our careers together on the court facing each other," Nadal told USA Today.
與此同時，納達爾表示在半決賽與費德勒對戰(zhàn)是個額外福利。“我們在對戰(zhàn)中共度了彼此職業(yè)生涯中最重要的時刻，”納達爾在接受《今日美國》采訪時如此表示。
Indeed, one who travels with you for the whole journey should be cherished.
的確，與你一路同行的那個人值得珍惜。
