finalist

12月4日,2005年戴维斯杯网球赛决赛在斯洛伐克的布拉迪斯拉发收拍。克罗地亚队险胜占有主场之利的斯洛伐克队,历史上第一次捧得象征着男子网坛最高荣誉的戴维斯杯。

外电报道如下:Dominik Hrbaty had pulled Slovakia even at 2-2 by defeating an ailing Ivan Ljubicic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. Ancic then downed Mertinak to clinch the best-of-five series between two first-timefinalists.

大家都知道final有“最终的”意思,如,final examination(期终考试),final decision(最后的决定)都是我们非常熟悉的说法,而在体育比赛中,final常用作复数finals,用来指“决赛”,如,to play in the finals(参加决赛)。

由此,大家便不难猜出报道中finalist的意思,finalist指的就是“参加决赛的选手(或队伍)”。
