本文选自英国《卫报》（The Guardian），原文标题为Zheng Qinwen rewards raucous Chinese support to grab gold in tense tennis final（《在激烈的网球决赛中，郑钦文用金牌回馈中国球迷的热烈支持》）。

在周六紧张的决赛中，郑钦文以6比2和6比3的比分击败了克罗地亚的多娜·维基奇，成为首位获得奥运会网球单打金牌的中国选手。

The 21-year-old sixth seed was given raucous support by a sizeable Chinese contingent inside Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier and responded with a composed performance.

在罗兰·加洛斯的菲利普·夏蒂埃球场，这位21岁的六号种子得到了大批中国球迷的热烈支持，并以沉着的表现作出回应。

Vekic, herself bidding to become Croatia’s first Olympic singles champion, battled hard to try to turn the match around but failed to capitalise on her opportunities.

维基奇本人也希望成为克罗地亚首个奥运会单打冠军，她努力想扭转局面，但没能抓住机会。

Zheng was not at her sparkling best in the final but raised her game when required to land the biggest prize of her career.

郑钦文在决赛中没有发挥出最佳状态，但在必要时刻提高了自己的表现，最终收获职业生涯的最大奖项。

Serving for the match at 5-3, Zheng reached match points as Vekic drove a backhand wide and finished it off with a well-placed forehand winner before falling on her back on the clay court with joy.

在以5-3的比分进入发球胜赛局后，维基奇反手打偏，郑钦文拿到了赛点，并以一记落点极佳的正手制胜分结束了比赛，随后她高兴地仰面倒在红土场上。

China’s only other gold medal in Olympic tennis came in 2004 when Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women’s doubles in Athens while the best previous singles performance was Li Na’s run to the semi-finals in 2008, although she missed out on a medal.

中国在奥运会上的另外一枚网球金牌是在2004年的雅典奥运会上取得的，当时李婷和孙甜甜获得了女子双打冠军，而此前单打的最佳表现是李娜在2008年闯入半决赛，尽管她最终与奖牌失之交臂。

Zheng, runner-up at the Australian Open this year, now looks capable of scaling the same heights as Li who claimed two grand slam titles during her illustrious career.

郑钦文在今年的澳网公开赛上获得亚军，目前来看有能力达到和李娜一样的高度，后者在她辉煌的职业生涯中赢得了两座大满贯冠军。

“Nothing can describe my feelings right now,” Zheng told Eurosport on court before the medals ceremony. “It’s unreal, I was hoping to get a medal for China and I made it, I got the gold. I did everything I could.”

“没有什么可以形容我现在的感受，”郑钦文在颁奖仪式前告诉欧洲体育。“这太不真实了，我希望为中国赢得一枚奖牌，我做到了，我获得了金牌。我已经倾尽全力了。”

Her victory completed a memorable week for China on the Parisian clay after Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen won the silver medal in the mixed doubles the previous evening.

她的胜利为中国在巴黎红土赛场上值得纪念的一周画上了句号。此前一晚，王欣瑜和张之臻在混双比赛中获得银牌。

Zheng, who men’s finalist Novak Djokovic describes as his favourite female player, began the week in devastating fashion, beating former French Open runner-up Sara Errani 7-6, 6-0. She had to dig deep in long, three-set epics against Emma Navarro and Germany’s Angelique Kerber beforestunning hot favourite Iga Swiatek to give herself a shot at gold.

男单决赛选手诺瓦克·德约科维奇称，郑钦文是他最喜欢的女选手。郑钦文以摧枯拉朽的气势开启了本周的比赛，她以7- 6，6 -0的比分击败了前法网亚军萨拉·埃拉尼。在对阵纳瓦罗和德国选手克尔伯的三局鏖战中，她不得不奋力一搏，最终击败热门选手斯瓦泰克，为自己赢得了夺金的机会。

The vastly experienced Vekic presented a formidable obstacle in the final but Zheng started the contest quickly to lead 3-0 and managed to stay in control by coming through some edgy games.

经验丰富的维基奇在决赛中给郑钦文制造了巨大的障碍，但郑钦文很快就以3-0领先，并通过几局激烈的争夺保持了对比赛的控制。

“I fought every single match, I feel like I had special energy and lots of support. My country will be proud and my family who I know will be screaming at home by the TV,” Zheng said.

“我打了每一场比赛，我觉得我拥有特别的能量，也得到了很多支持。我的国家会为我感到骄傲，我的家人会在电视机前为我欢呼。”

Poland’s Swiatek finished with the bronze medal after beating Slovakia’s Anna Karolina Schmiedlova 6-2, 6-1 .

波兰选手斯瓦泰克以6- 2，6 -1的比分击败斯洛伐克选手施米德洛娃，获得铜牌。

Earlier, Matthew Ebden and John Peers won Australia’s second tennis gold medal in Olympic history when beating Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, of the United States, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (1), 10-8 in a tight battle in the men’s doubles final.

早些时候，马修·埃布登和约翰·皮尔斯在男子双打决赛中以6-7(6)、7-6(1)和10-8的比分击败美国组合奥斯汀·克拉吉切克和拉吉夫·拉姆，为澳大利亚赢得了奥运会历史上的第二枚网球金牌。
