Sixth seed Li Na has begun her quest to finally clinch the Australian Open, an event where she has flourished but never taken the top spot, with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Kazakhstan's Sesil Karatantcheva in one hour and 18 minutes. 六号种子选手李娜在一小时18分钟内以6-1、6-3的比分战胜哈萨克斯坦选手卡拉坦切娃(Sesil Karatantcheva)，已经踏上夺取澳网公开赛(Australian Open)冠军的征程。她曾在澳网公开赛大放异彩，但从未登顶。 In the pair's first meeting, the unseeded world No. 113 had four chances to break China's most successful tennis player in the opening set but was unable to convert any. 这是两人的第一次交锋。首盘比赛期间，世界排名113位的非种子选手卡拉坦切娃有四次机会破发中国最成功的网球运动员，但还是没有能够扭转干坤。 Li, 30, won 74% of points on her first serve and placed 21 winners to Karantantcheva's six. 现年30岁的李娜一发得分率74%，制胜分21记；卡拉坦切娃制胜分六记。 The winner of 2011's French Open, who earlier declared the Australian Open was her favorite Grand Slam, has had her most consistent results in Melbourne, reaching the semi-finals in 2010, the final in 2011 and the fourth round last year. In both 2011 and 2017, Li fell to the now-retired Kim Clijsters. 李娜曾赢得2011年的法网公开赛，早些时候宣布澳网公开赛是她最喜欢的大满贯比赛。她在墨尔本的成绩最为稳定，2010年打入半决赛，2011年打入决赛，去年打入第四轮。在2011年和2017年，李娜都败给了目前已经退役的克莱斯特斯(Kim Clijsters)。 |
