很奇特的寫法
很適合獻給我們家寶貝
沒有人想當永遠的世界第三
因為不管是過去 現在或是未來 沒有人會記得誰是世界第三
看了難免苦笑 有點辛酸
想到這兩年寶貝真的有很努力
在人前要做個好的世界第三並不容易
今年甚至一度還下滑到了世界第四
可以說他完全不在意嗎
球迷好好的看了他後半年努力不懈的球場身影
愛演 是他的個性使然?
愛現 是他的習慣為之?
不斷的為自己打氣 不懈的娛樂眾生
世界第三 不好當
寶貝老三 希望這不是宿命 而能用革命來面對
以下就是這段很有趣論點的專欄
點後頭作者姓名可以連到原始網頁
特別貼張去年奪得大師杯的照片,為寶貝下週的英倫賽程引出好彩頭
Nothing wrong with Novak being No. 3
Monday, November 16, 2009
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the annual MV3 award. As you know, it's the one night of the year when the No. 3 -- a very high number when it comes to sports, if a pretty low one when you're standing in line at the deli -- gets the recognition it deserves.
And please, join me in welcoming your fellow numerals, including the Roman delegation. It's great to have you with us. Now before I introduce the Most Valuable 3 for 2009, let me say a few words.
No. 3 is the twilight-zone numeral -- the number nobody cares about, the hopeful but irritating party-crasher's number, the monument to irrelevance. Nobody asks, "Who's the real No. 3?"
Our language is filled with subtle put-downs of No. 3: I'd go, but I don't want to be the third wheel! Two's company, three's a crowd!
When have you ever been lured by the offer to buy two, get the third one free!
Hey, who finished third in the National League West this year? This is a question asked by absolutely no one, except maybe San Diego Padres fans.
And when it comes to tennis, we all know that the numbers that really count in tennis are 1 and 2, although sometimes even the No. 2 has no more significance than, say, 4, or 8, or 22. Lately, though, the No. 2 has had a good run in tennis, when you consider the jockeying we witnessed between the likes of Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and that natural-born No. 3, Dinara Safina.
This No. 1 versus No. 2 thing is as old as the hills, in everything from the rental car industry to pro sports -- think Yankees-Red Sox, Celtics-Lakers, Patriots-Colts (Belichick, you IDIOT!). We sports fans live for the question, can No. 2 catch No. 1? Are you a Federer guy, or a Nadal guy? A Williams gal or a Safi … never mind.
But every once in a while, you get a guy who makes the battle between Hertz and Avis look irrelevant; every once in a while, you get a guy who takes both John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors to the woodshed. (Hey, Ivan? Is that you out there?) Every once in a while, you get a No. 3 who really matters. And that was the case this year in men's tennis, the sport that produced our honoree, Novak Djokovic.
You know what they were saying about Novak Djokovic not so long ago, when he clowned his way through Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, just like all those others who give our No. 3 a bad name. You heard the whispers: "Guy will never be nothin' more than No. 3. He just wants fan-love. He's happy goofing around, taking the big money, saying 'No, thanks!' to the call of greatness. He's gone soft. He's lost his game. He's thinking of opening the first Hummer dealership in Serbia."
Surprise! In the course of just a couple of weeks in October and November (hey, did you know they play tennis in November?), Djokovic struck a blow for No. 3s everywhere. He forced the spotlight to shine beyond No. 2. He won back-to-back titles at Basel and at the Paris Masters, striking a blow when it was least expected for all those hardworking, deserving No. 3s everywhere.
As Novak said in his victory speech in Paris on Sunday, "I almost feel like a player now!"
Just kidding. What he really said was, "Winning back-to-back titles at this level is a huge achievement for me, and adding to that, beating the world No. 1 and No. 2. I really feel that I'm in great form right now."
So without further ado, here to present the familiar pewter trophy to the 2009 MV3 trophy is someone you all know and love, and one of Novak's closest friends on the tour -- please give it up, folks, for Scotland's very own … Andy Murray!
