当无忧无虑的青春老去,灵动的步伐变得沉重,冠军和胜利越发遥不可及,那些以网球为生的人该考虑拐弯而非继续直行了。很多人在蹒跚学步时就拿起了球拍,网球成了他们逃离学习和作业的最好理由。在硬地、红土和草地上追逐一个黄色毛球,这可不是一项能立足自由市场经济的有效本领。前球手们做出种种尝试,一些人让网球梦想延续,成为评论员、教练,一些人则转向其他运动,还有投身商场的,一展歌喉的,五花八门。 When carefree youth gets older, the pace of agility becomes heavier, the championship and the victories become more out of reach, and those who rely on tennis for their livelihood should think about turning instead of going straight.
