  • Vocabulary (Sports) Federer Storms to French Open Win
    OGU 2 (June 9, 2009) Ajarn Major Dr.Ra-shane Meesri ([email protected]) Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University Vocabulary (Sports) Federer storms to French Open win Roger Federer gloriously completed a career Grand Slam on Sunday by capturing a first French Open title, and a record‐equalling 14th major, with a 6‐ 1, 7‐6 (7/1), 6‐4 win over Robin Soderling. Roger Federer in action against Sweden's Robin Soderling during their French Open final at Roland Garros Stadium in Paris. The 27‐year‐old world number two finally won a Roland Garros crown at the 11th attempt and in his fourth successive final having come up heartbreakingly short in the last three showdowns against Spanish nemesis Rafael Nadal. His victory, ironically over the Swedish 23rd seed who shocked four‐time Nadal in the last 16, took him level with great friend Pete Sampras as the holder of 14 Grand Slam titles. He also moved into a select group made up only of Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson and Andre Agassi as men who have won all four of the Grand Slam events. "It was probably my greatest victory, I was under big pressure. I did it and it's phenomenal," said Federer who broke down in tears after being presented with the trophy by Agassi, the 1999 champion, and while the Swiss national anthem was played.

    “2019 Año de la Exportación” (S-1722/19) PROYECTO DE DECLARACION El Senado de la Nación DECLARA Su beneplácito por el reconocimiento a la deportista argentina Gabriela (Gaby) Sabatini, quien fue honrada con el Premio Philippe Chatrier que anualmente confiere la Federación Internacional de Tenis. Carlos A. Reutemann FUNDAMENTOS Señora Presidente: Gabriela Sabatini, la máxima tenista argentina de la historia, recibió en París, en el marco de uno de sus torneos predilectos, el de Roland Garros, donde fue en 1984 campeona junior con apenas 14 años de edad, el máximo honor que confiere la Federación Internacional de Tenis (ITF), el Premio Philippe Chatrier. Dicho galardón es otorgado desde 1996 a individuos y organizaciones por su significativa contribución al tenis dentro y fuera de la cancha. Sabatini se retiró del deporte profesional precisamente en ese año de 1996, tras una larga trayectoria en la que obtuvo 27 títulos en singles y 14 en dobles, entre ellos el título del US Open 1990 en individuales y el de dobles de Wimbledon 1988, en este caso junto a la alemana Steffi Graf. Sabatini es integrante del Salón de la Fama del Tenis desde 2006, llegó a ser número 3 del mundo y fue ganadora de la medalla plateada en los Juegos Olímpicos de Seúl 1988. Con tantos logros deportivos, habría que significar que, no obstante, lo mejor de su experiencia personal ha sido la hidalguía, sobriedad y bonhomía con la que se manejó en el competitivo mundo del tenis, dentro y fuera de las canchas. Siendo así, no habría de extrañar que, una vez retirada de las competencias, le dedicó y sigue dedicando buena parte de su tiempo a promover los valores del tenis y a ayudar a niños de todo el mundo, trabajando con UNICEF, la UNESCO y las Olimpiadas Especiales.
