Q. Do you feel like everything is sort of coming together in your game the way you want it to? 你觉得状态正在往你想要的方向提升吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yeah, sure. I feel better on the court as the tournament is progressing. Of course, I played in different conditions three matches. The roof was closed tonight and temperature dropped for at least 10 degrees, and you could feel that. It affected the play. It was much slower. Of course, you know, I needed to have a very, I would say, fast footwork and precise first service, as high of a percentage as possible, using every opportunity to take control over the rally. 对，在场上的感觉的确随着每一场比赛越来越好。这三轮都是在不同的状况下进行，今晚 屋顶关闭了，温度至少降了十度，而且你可以感觉得到。气候影响了比赛，球场变得比较 慢，所以我需要快速的移位和精准的一发，一发进球率和得分率越高越好，利用每个机会 控制球的来回。 I've done really well. Denis is a very tough opponent. He's a great quality player. He has tested a lot of top players on different surfaces because he's very talented and he can hit the ball really well. 而我做得很好，Denis 是个顽强的对手，实力坚强的球员，他曾经在不同的场地试炼过很 多顶尖球员。他非常有天分而且可以击出有质量的球。 Q. At the end of the game when you served for the match the first time, dropped your serve, you broke right back, was that good for you to be tested at the end? 第一个赛末发球局你被破了，接着立刻破了回来。在比赛的最後遭遇挑战是好的吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, look, you know, on 4 2, he asked for the crowd support, he got it. They lifted him a little bit. He started hitting the ball really well. Things got tense towards the end of the match. I made some double faults. This is what happens. I mean, I could have easily got into a tiebreak and then it's very even, very unpredictable who is going to win the third. I didn't want to drop the third set, obviously, so I was very focused to get the job done in straight sets. 嗯，你知道，在局数 4-2 的时候他要求观众的支持，而他也得到了，观众提昇了他的气 势和状态，他开始打得很好，局面开始变得紧张，然後我发出了双误。这就是那时候发生 的事，我的意思是，当时很容易就会进入抢七，比赛是僵持的，而且难以预测谁会拿下第 三盘。不过，很显然的我不想失去第三盘，所以我非常专注的尝试直落三获胜。 Q. It was cool. But would you rather the roof be open for your matches? 球场温度蛮凉爽的，但你会比较想要屋顶开着吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yes. I practiced with open roof and think it's always nice to have some fresh air. 会，练习的时候屋顶是开着的，而且我喜欢新鲜空气。 But it's understandable. Before the match, the people from the organization approached me and showed me the forecast and said it was going to rain on and off, it was unpredictable, they couldn't risk, they should close the roof. It was fine. 不过这是可以理解的。比赛前大会的人来找我，给我看了天气预报，说雨会一阵一阵的 下，没办法确定什麽时候开始或什麽时候停，他们不能赌运气，必须要关闭屋顶。这没 有关系。 Q. You have great fans here in Australia. I wonder if it frustrates you sometimes that that's not the case everywhere despite the effort you put into engaging your fans? 你在澳洲有很棒的球迷，但有时候在其他地方不是如此，即使你已经很用心的和球迷互动 了，这会让你感到挫折吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, look, you know, I try to focus on my own fans. There's plenty of them. I feed on their energy and their support. 我试着专注在我自己的球迷上，他们人还蛮多的，我依靠他们的能量和支持。 Of course, I mean, I cannot be angry on the people who are supporting my opponent. It's all sport. It's normal you have your preferred players, you have your favorites. You have to deal with it. 我当然不能对支持对手的人生气，这就是运动，有偏爱的球员是正常的，你们都有最喜欢 的球员。你就是必须接受这个事实。 Q. Many young Australian players coming from Serbian communities, you are a huge role model for them. Is there a message, advice you can give them? 很多年轻的澳洲球员都来自塞尔维亚社群，而你是他们卓越的榜样，有什麽建议可以给他 们吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, first of all, Australia has a great system for sport in general. The facilities, not just for tennis, but all the other sports, are fantastic. The athletes have greatest conditions to really develop themself from the early stages of their lives, their careers. That's a very positive thing for somebody who is thinking about eventually playing professional tennis, for example, and having these facilities in Australian Open, Melbourne Park, Victoria State, the country investing so much in this sport. Of course having a Grand Slam helps a lot from an economical point of view. 首先，整体而言，澳洲有出色的体育支持系统，硬体设备非常棒，运动员在职业生涯早期 就有最佳的环境去发展自己，这对想要从事职业网球运动的人来说是正向的。澳洲政府在 网球注入了很多资源；当然拥有一项大满贯赛事对经济也很有帮助。 Young players have to, first of all, like what they do. I think that's a key to doing any kind of sport, any kind of activity. You have to enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, it's not worth doing it. Of course, having proper conditions, having a right desire, willpower, that of course gets you very far away. 年轻球员需要做的是，第一，喜欢他们做的事；我想这是所有运动或是任何活动的关键， 你必须享受它，如果你不享受，那麽这件事就不值得做。接着，当然还要有适当的环境， 正确的渴望和意志力，这些可以让你走得很远。 Q. Your next opponent, you mentioned you've been friends for a long time. Does that change anything about the way you go into the match? 下一轮对手，你提到你们是老朋友了，这会改变你的比赛吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No, no. I'm going to try to win against him regardless if he's friend or not. Of course, I respect him. I have a great relationship with him, real friend relationship for more than 10 years. Once we get on the court, of course we're both professionals, we want to win. He's 15 in the world. He's been playing some really good tennis. 不会，不管他是不是朋友我都会试着获胜。我尊敬他，我们有超过十年的交情了，但是 当我们踏上球场，我们就都是职业球员，都想要赢。他现在世界排名第十五，最近打得 很好。 He's a clay court specialist, so that's where he made his best results. But lately he's been performing really well on hard court. Today he beat Sam Querrey, who is a hard court specialist, big serve, in form, and Fabio won. I don't take anything easy. I try to do as best as possible. 他是个红土球员，所以在红土上的成绩最好，但是最近在硬地也打得很好，今天击败了 Sam Querrey，一个擅长硬地的球员，重炮发球、状态也不错，然後 Fabio 赢了。我不认 为有什麽事是轻松的，我会试着做到最好。 Q. How focused have you been this week on trying to get through your matches quickly and conserve energy for the second week? 为了可以快速结速比赛、为第二周储备体力，你有多专注？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: That's obviously one of the goals. It's important not to underestimate any opponent. Having the right approach to the court, having the right intensity, starting from the first point to try to show to your opponent that you're there to win, that you want to be the one taking control of the rallies, that's my goal. That's my goal coming into every match regardless of who is across the net. 那当然是目标之一。很重要的是不低估对手，在场上用对方法、保持适当的情绪强度，并 且从第一分就要让对手看到你是来赢球的，你想要掌握比赛。不管网子的对面是谁，这就 是我的目标。 Q. We used to say that Wimbledon was Roger's living room. Is that the same for you here? 我们过去都说温布顿是 Federer 的客厅，澳网对你来说也是这样吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, if I can compare myself to Roger's success in Wimbledon, that's definitely a compliment. There's still a lot more years to come from me, a lot more to prove. This is definitely one of my most favorite tournaments in the world, the best Grand Slam by far. I love playing on Rod Laver Arena. Results are showing that. 如果我可以与 Federer 在温网的成功相较，那绝对是个赞美。不过我还有很多年，还有 很多需要证明。澳网绝对是我最喜欢的比赛之一，目前最棒的大满贯赛，我很喜欢在 Rod Laver 球场打球，你从比赛结果就看得出来。 Q. Were you surprised by del Potro's elimination yesterday? 你对 Del Potro 昨天的出局很惊讶吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yes, yes. Most, if not all, are surprised with a second round for del Potro. Again, this is tennis. Everybody's playing. Everybody's fighting. When you're playing a top player, you have nothing to lose. 对、对，大部分是因为这才是第二轮比赛。不过，这就是网球，每个人都在打、每个人都 在奋战。当你对上顶尖球员，基本上没什麽可以输的。 Bautista Agut definitely went to the court with nothing to lose and trying to play his best, and took him to five sets. It was a huge win for him. It was very tough conditions yesterday, so maybe that affected DelPo a little bit. But it definitely is a surprise. Bautista Agut 走上场的时候显然没什可以输的，并且试着表现到最好，把比赛拉到了第 五盘。对他来说，这是巨大的胜利。昨天的天气状况并不容易，也许稍微影响到了 DelPo ，但这的确出乎意料。 Q. Do you think the mental aspect of the game these days is more difficult than the physical to get over? 你觉得在现在的网坛，心里层面比生理层面还要更难克服吗？ NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yes. I mean, physically at the end of the day with the proper facilities, proper conditions, proper I would say program and right people, you can get yourself in a great shape. But there are many, many players who are fit and strong, they can endure a lot on the court. 对，有适当的设备和环境、有适当的流程和人员，你总是可以回到最佳的身体状态。有 非常多的球员都很健康、强壮，他们在场上可以忍受很多状况。 But that mental edge, that's something that you can't get it in the gym. You have to be able to play and understand who you are, get really deep into your character. Of course, you need to use the necessary experience on the court. Fail, fail, fail, but keep on coming back stronger. Eventually, that's what's going to help you succeed. 但是心理层面是在健身房里得不到的，你必须要知道你自己是谁，真的深入的了解自己， 当然也需要在场上的的经验，失败、失败、再失败，接着更顽强的再试一次，毕竟，这才 是会帮助你成功的事情。 --
