Roger Federer Sunday Press Conference London, England 22.11.2009 R. FEDERER/F. Verdasco 46, 75, 61 An interview with: ROGER FEDERER THE MODERATOR: Questions, please, for Roger. Q. How did you find the court conditions tonight and the playing surface? 你觉得场地状况怎样，还有打起来怎样? ROGER FEDERER: Nice. I thought the crowds were great. Lighting is unique. You know, it's not something we sort of that we don't we do see the crowd, but the focus is very much on us. This is a bit unusual. But we had the chance to practice in these surroundings. You know, I thought it was very nice to play in. It's not Wimbledon like, but still special obviously (smiling). 很好呀，观众很棒，灯光独特，我们不见得看不到观众，但是焦点却集中在我们身上得 多。这有点不寻常。但我们有机会在这样的环境下练习。能在这里比赛很好，跟温布顿 不一样，但还是很特别(微笑)。 Q. Playing surface itself? 那打起来的感觉咧? ROGER FEDERER: Playing surface, I thought it was pretty, you know, medium pace. There are some bad bounces, but that always happens, you know, with those wooden floors that we play on. But, no, it felt like a proper court. Fair for all playing styles. If you want to play far back, you can do that. If you want to move in, you can do that, too. That's why I think it's a good surface for the World Tour Finals. 打起来，我觉得速度适中。是有些不规则弹跳，但在木头地板打总是会这样。但这感觉起 来像是合适的场地。对所有打法都一样。如果你想要在远远的底线打，你可以那样做，如 果你想要往场内，你也可以那样做。那也是为什麽我觉得这是年终赛的好场地。 Q. What did you have to do tonight to turn things around? 你今晚做了什麽逆转呢? ROGER FEDERER: Turn what around? 逆转什麽? Q. The match, the way it was going. 这场比赛，比赛的进行。 ROGER FEDERER: I just felt that sort of at the beginning of the second set, I was starting to, you know, return better. Because the beginning, I mean, first game was very quick, so I don't even know if I can really analyze that game, because it was four points and one double fault. So I was running after the score really because of that. The whole first set I was struggling to really put, you know, normal returns into play. 我有点觉得从第二盘的开端，我才开始回发得比较好。因为刚开始，第一局非常快，所以 我不知道我是不是真的能分析那局，因为那就是四分跟一个双误。因为那样所以我一直在 後面追分。整个第一盘我连普通回发都很挣扎。 And that can happen at times. I thought he did a good job of mixing it up and playing aggressive at times, coming up with the right play. I was down a set, and only the second set was I able to sort of get the ball into play, find my range, find my rhythm. I think this is also when I started to feel like I had chances. My first breakpoints, I think I could have had them earlier if I played a bit earlier, but they came for set points, and it was a crucial moment for me because I knew the longer the match went, the more my belief was going up and his was going down. Then in the third, I was able to play more freely. This is when I was really in the match, you know. But it was, you know, a crucial match for me to get off with a win in the round robin stages. Because Fernando is a great player and I'm happy I was able to come through. 那有时候会发生。我想他执行战术很棒，有时候打得很积极，打出对的球。我落後一盘， 而且只有在第二盘我才能把球回进，找到我的节奏，找到我的范围，我想那也是我开始觉 得我有机会的时候。我的前几个破发点，我想如果我能早点进入状况，我应该能早点制造 出破发点的，但是破发点出现在盘末点，而那对我而言是关键时刻。因为我知道比赛进行 越久，我的信心就会越强，而他的信心指数会向下滑。然後在第三盘，我能打得更自在。 那是我真正进入比赛的时候。对我而言这是场关键的比赛，让我可以在小组赛以赢球作为 开端。因为Fernando是个很棒的球员，而我很开心我通过这关。 Q. Compared to Paris, what about the speed of the court? Is it normal or quicker? 跟巴黎大师赛比起来，场地的速度如何呢?正常或是比较快。 ROGER FEDERER: No, it's not faster. I think Paris was faster. But then again, I only played one match in Paris, so you should maybe ask someone who stuck around a bit longer. I actually practiced in Roland Garros on that surface for the rest of the week, as well. I just felt it's a bit faster than here. Then again, it depends on who you play. I played against Benneteau, who is coming to the net a lot, you know, makes you feel like the court is even faster, as well. But I think it's a fair playing style, you know. 不，没有比较快，我觉得巴黎的场地比较快。但是，我只在巴黎打了一场比赛，所以你应 该问在那里打比较久的人。实际上那周後来的日子我都在Roland Garros练球，在跟Paris 一样的场地上。我觉得那边比这里的场地快一点，不过这取决於你怎麽打，我的对手是 Benneteau，他很常上网，所以也会让你觉得那场地比较快。但我觉得这场地是个适合各 种打法的场地。 Q. Did you feel on court that Fernando was using different tactics or different combinations since he's here with Darren Cahill, who actually worked with you for a while? 你在场上有觉得Fernando有用不同的策略或是战术运用吗?因为他现在跟Darren Cahill合 作，而Cahill曾经跟你合作过一阵子。 ROGER FEDERER: Well, we worked a couple of weeks, so that's not a whole lot. I played Fernando right after I worked, you know, those two weeks with Darren. I played him in Indian Wells. So, yeah, I mean, I think Fernando has announced himself sort of at the Australian Open, and that Davis Cup a couple months earlier, you know, of the year before that, you know. He had the possibilities to handle pressure and play well against top guys, you know, beating Murray in Australia and almost taking down Rafa as well in the semis in an amazing match. I don't think he has much to prove, you know, that he can beat the best. It's about for him playing consistent at the highest of levels. Now he has to reach very high, which is not an easy thing to do because it's quite open at the top in a way, so everybody beats everybody. So it's not so easy to get through those, you know, top eight guys. But he's doing a good job of hanging around. He's got two more chances here to get points for next year and play another good season. 我们有合作过几周，所以不是很久。我在跟Darren合作两周後就跟Fernando打过比赛。我 跟他在Indian Wells有比赛过。我想在那之前，Fernando就已经在澳网，还有几个月前的 台维斯盃证明过自己。他有潜能可以处理压力，并且对上顶尖的选手也能打得很好，像是 在澳网打败Murray还有在准决赛几乎要淘汰Rafa，那是场令人惊奇的比赛。我不认为他得 要证明他能打败顶尖的球员。现在对他而言是要能很稳定的打出自己最好的状态。现在他 已经达到高点，这不是件容易的事情，因为在顶尖的时候是人人都有机会，所以彼此都有 机会打败彼此。所以要打败这顶尖的八个球员并不容易。但是他坚持住，而且做得很好， 他还有两个机会在这里为明年获得积分，并且再打出个好球季。 Q. What do you think about the latest stories about Agassi? 你对Agassi最近事情是怎麽想的? ROGER FEDERER: Well, which one? There's a few. 哪一个，有一些耶。 Q. Admitting taking drugs. 承认服药。 ROGER FEDERER: Well, I gave my quotes already. Find them somewhere. 我已经有谈过了，去哪里找找吧。 But, no, I mean, it's definitely not good for our sport. We have to deal with it, you know, the best we can. The way I think the doping tests are being done these days are, you know, very tough for all of us. There's many guys that are not happy with the system because it's almost too aggressive to some degree. But I think it's necessary, you know, just to be able to keep a clean sport. 没有啦。我是说这对我们的运动而言绝不是好事情。我们得尽我们能力去应付这件事情。 我想今日的禁药测试对我们所有人都很严格。有很多人不满这个系统，因为某程度这系统 太过侵犯了。但我觉得这是必要的，只是为了要能保持运动的乾净。 What happened obviously is not nice. At the same time, you shouldn't take anything away what he's done for kids around the world, especially in Vegas, raising the amount of money he did. He still remains an exceptional, you know, tennis player and person. It's just a hiccup. Obviously it's going to cast a shadow over his image for some, so... Yeah, obviously it's surprising he came out with it. 明显所发生的事情不太好，但同时不能因此减损，他所为世界上的孩子所作的事情，尤其 是在Vegas ，他募款为孩子所做的事情。他依然是个杰出的网球选手和个人，显然这将会 为他的形象蒙上阴影。他坦白这件事情令人惊讶。 Q. What type of match are you expecting against Andy on Tuesday? What can you remember about your match in China last year? 你期待星期二跟Andy会是场怎样的比赛呢?去年你跟他在中国的比赛你还记得什麽? ROGER FEDERER: Well, obviously I expect a difficult match. Always fun playing, you know, your fellow rivals. I've had from the top guys, I think Andy has been one of the guys I played the most. I played him frequently at the beginning of the season, in Doha and where else did I play him? I just played him in Shanghai the week before. Then was it Indian Wells, as well? So I played him on a few occasions in a row. From Shanghai, I remember I was not going into the match with, let's say, the highest of hopes. I knew I had a little bit left in the tank because I was sick two days before. I was injured, you know, two, three weeks before for the entire time. So I kind of just said to myself, You know what, I'll play aggressive and see what happens. I was playing incredible for a set. Almost got a victory. But I thought it was a very exciting match to be a part of. It was unfortunate for me not to come through. But I still think the match was great. I hope we can live up to the expectations and play another good one. 我预期比赛会很难打。跟竞争对手打总是很有趣。我想Andy是我最常遇到的对手之一，年 初我经常跟他比赛，在杜哈，还有呢?杜哈之前我才跟他在上海打过，然後是Indian Wells 。所以我曾经连续跟他在几个场合对阵。至於上海的回忆，我记得我不是带着很高 的期待去打那场比赛。我知道我没剩什麽力气，因为我两天前才生病。而两三周前受了伤 所以我对自己说，我要打得很积极，然後看看会怎样。有一盘我打得不可思议，几乎要赢 了。但我认为这是场刺激的比赛。不幸我没能赢，但我还是觉得那比赛很棒。我希望我们 能符合期待并且打出另一场好比赛。 --
