SAT考试作文素材分享21：The Youngest Tennis Champion Martina Hingis Were used to swaggering, in-your-face trash talk from NBA players, boxers and even a few politicians, but teenagers in tennis skirts? Theres a new generation of women on the court. Theyre young. Theyre pretty. And theyre unbelievably brash about everything. Heres 17-year-old Martina Hingis explaining her lack of humility： People say that I am arrogant. I am No. 1 in the world, so I have a right to be arrogant. Actually shes the best in the world. Two years after becoming the youngest No. 1 player in history, Hingis won her second Family Circle title. Hingis came to Britain in 1997, posing with a large No. 1 made of tennis balls. A week later, she had earned her sixth straight title and 31st straight victory with a Family Circle title. At that stage, you dont really get it that youre the best tennis player in the world, Hingis, 18, said after a 6-4, 6-3 win over Kournikova Sunday. There is always another match to go, another tournament. It was only later, she said, she realized, I became No. 1. Im like the best. Hardly arguing anymore now. Its been a difficult week in the shadows for Hingis, pushed aside by the all-Williams final at the Lipton Championships last week and Kournikovas run through the Family Circle. With the Williams sisters and Anna, I was saying, What about me? said Hingis, who earned $150, 000. I think this was about time. Hingis doesnt mind talk of her rivals. So long as theyre lower than me, Im fine, she said. |
