Elina Avanesyan makes history for Armenia
with defeat of Andreescu in Cincinnati
Elina Avanesyan於辛辛那提R1擊敗安姑，創造亞美尼亞歷史
Elina Avanesyan’s 6-4, 7-5 defeat of Bianca Andreescu in the first round of
the Cincinnati Open was a history-making moment for Armenia as Avanesyan
became the first player representing the country to compete in a Hologic WTA
Tour main draw, according to the Women’s Tennis Association.
Avanesyan在辛辛那提首輪以6-4,7-5擊敗安姑，創下了亞美尼亞的歷史
也就是第一位代表亞美尼亞國籍，且在WTA巡迴賽正賽贏球的人。
Last week, the World No.60 started competing under the Armenian flag,
announcing on social media: “I am proud to share that I am officially a
citizen of Armenia, and I am honored to be competing under my Armenian flag
starting at the Cincinnati Open on Monday! Excited for this new chapter and
to bring success to my ancestral homeland.
上週，世界排名60的她正式轉籍到亞美尼亞，她說：
「我很驕傲能正式代表亞美尼亞，並在週一出賽辛辛那提正賽，對於這新篇章
並能為我的父母的國家帶來成功，非常興奮。」
Avanesyan was born in Pyatigorsk, Russia, to Armenian parents from
Nagorno-Karabakh who moved from the region in 1992, during the First
Nagorno-Karabakh War.
Avanesyan出生於俄羅斯的Pyatigorsk，但她的父母是在1992年第一次納卡戰爭下，
從納卡地區移居到俄羅斯。
Avanesyan’s switch made her the first player representing Armenia to be
ranked inside the Top 100. The last Armenian to be ranked in the Top 500 was
Ani Amiraghyan, who peaked at No.422 in August 2013. The only other Armenian
player to reach the Top 100 on either tour was former ATP No.38 Sargis
Sargsian, who reached his career high in January 2004.
Avanesyan是第一位代表亞美尼亞的世界前100的女球員。
Ani Amiraghyan是在2013年8月達到最高#422的女球員。
Sargis Sargsian則是在2004年1月達到#38排名最高的男球員。
On Sunday, Avanesyan’s defeat of Lauren Davis in the first round of
Cincinnati qualifying made her the first Armenian player to compete in a WTA
qualifying draw since Liudmila Nikoyan at Pattaya City 2002, and the first to
win a qualifying match since Nikoyan at Tashkent 2000. Nikoyan’s highest
ranking was No.500 in October 2000.
在週日Avanesyan打敗Lauren Davis，
讓她成為自從Liudmila Nikoyan在2002的芭達雅WTA等級資格賽出賽的女將。
在資格賽贏球也是從2000年Nikoyan在塔什干獲勝的第一人。
Nikoyan最高排名是2000年10月的#500。(代表亞美尼亞）
Back in 1989, Aida Khalatian also competed in the Moscow main draw, falling
in the first round to Natasha Zvereva. Khalatian would represent Armenia
following the country’s independence in 1991, but at the time of her sole
tour-level appearance played under the flag of the former Soviet Union.
更早於1989，Aida Khalatian曾在莫斯科賽正賽出賽，首輪敗給Zvereva
她在1991亞美尼亞獨立後代表亞美尼亞，但在之前是用蘇聯身份出賽。

法網擊敗鄭欽文就對她蠻有印象
今年就打敗了三位TOP10，澳網打敗春麗，邁阿密打敗賈霸
也闖進WTA決賽，7月的羅馬尼亞紅土賽決賽輸給Andreeva
（也是Andreeav的首冠）
父母因戰爭背景移居莫斯科，現在有成績了還願意代表故鄉
雖然亞美尼亞的網球成績似乎很普，尤其女生
（男子的Sargis Sargsian生涯有1冠2亞，也出賽過三次奧運）
希望她能繼續創造歷史，這次找到亞美尼亞當地報導
一些有趣的紀錄也跟大家分享～
