台灣女網一姐謝淑薇日前公開找詹詠然組成亞運女雙,希望可以為國爭光,替台灣拿下金牌,但詹詠然表示因決定與妹妹詹皓晴搭檔,所以婉拒邀約,對此謝淑薇表示相當失望與可惜。因此,在今(11日)凌晨時她決定,今年仁川亞運只打首週的「團體賽」,第二週個人賽將「讓賢」退出,改與彭帥搭檔參加中國北京公開賽,消息傳出讓許多球迷深感震撼。
疑似是因謝淑薇日前找詹詠然組女雙遭婉拒,讓她不得已做出這遺憾的決定─「退出亞運個人賽」;今(11日)凌晨,謝淑薇在臉書貼出英文聲明稿,表示自己將不參加亞運的個人賽,內容提及她其實很期盼自己可以代表台灣爭光,但在與父親和澳籍教練詳細討論後,做出了最後這個「遺憾」的決定,但她強調自己還是非常期待團體賽的。
據悉,因亞運的個人賽時間為9月25日至30日,而WTA中國北京公開賽剛好在9月27日至10月5日,兩比賽恰巧撞期,因此謝淑薇只能忍痛擇一。
謝淑薇臉書聲明文如下:
I would like to announce my plans for September\October, when both the Asian games and WTA tournaments are scheduled. I will be representing Taiwan in the Teams event of the Asian Games, which I am very much looking forward to, and play the China Open following that. My reason for not playing the doubles in the second week of the Asian Games is because my desire to play with Latisha Chan, which I expressed publicly, to try and win a gold medal for Taiwan, was not reciprocated. Having recently been ranked #1 in the world, I find this extremely disappointing. As a consequence, after consultation with my father and my coach, I will now play the China Open with my regular partner Peng Shaui. I look forward to the Teams event of the Asian Games very much.

大意為
