在前不久的美网决赛中，18岁华裔天才少女艾玛•拉杜卡努战胜费尔南德斯夺冠，成为2004年温网17岁莎娃夺冠之后最年轻的大满贯得主。请看本报昨日的报道：

British tennis player Emma Raducanu has accomplished one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time — winning the U.S. Open at just 18.

Raducanu defeated Canadian teen Leylah Fernandez in straight sets on Saturday, becoming the youngest grand slam winner since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004 at the age of 17.

…

After making her name with a wildcard appearance at the WTA Nottingham Open, Raducanu made her main draw Grand Slam debut as a wildcard entrant to the 2021 Wimbledon Championship.

报道中的main draw就是“正选赛”，一般网球比赛main draw的选手大部分是排名靠前的选手，还有几个主办方邀请的选手，称为wildcard，余下为数不多的名额由淘汰赛（qualifying rounds）的胜者获得。例如：

Sharapova made her first appearance in Charleston as a qualifier, reaching the first round of main draw play in 2003.

莎拉波娃第一次在亮相查尔斯顿是2003年，她从资格赛一路过关斩将进入了正赛第一轮。
