Konnichiwa 大家好。 Last night we had the sponsor reception and welcome party at the official hotel here in Tokyo. Together with other players I went on stage to break a barrel of sake, which is supposed to bring good luck. I thought of giving it such a hard wack that I would destroy the barrel but at the very last moment I thought to myself 'Roger maybe you shouldn't be doing this' and I behaved appropriately by giving it the right force. 我昨晚在东京的官方旅馆有一场赞助商的接待会，我要和其他选手上台去打翻一桶被认为 会带来好运的日本清酒。在那时我突然到一个奇怪的主意，我要上台把桶子打碎，但在最 後的关头我告诉我自己：「Roger，你或许不应该这麽做」，所以最後我表现出了最适合 的我的表现，我出了最刚好的力量。 After the party I went for dinner with Tim Henman and Stefan Koubek who are two of my friends on the tour. We went to a teppanyaki restaurant where they cook in front of you. Tim had a funny idea and decided to exchange his chopsticks with the chef's utensils and took over from him. Actually he was pretty good, I mean he's a father after all, but I got too worried about my beef and I requested a change of chef. The dinner was delicious. 聚会之後我跟我这趟旅程的两个朋友Tim Henman和Stefan Koubek去吃晚餐，我们去 Teppanyaki餐厅，这家餐厅是直接在你面前料理的。Tim有一个很好玩的主意，他决定用 他的筷子交换主厨的用具，然後接管主厨的工作。其实他很棒啦，我是指他毕竟是当爸爸 的人了嘛，但是我还是很担心我的牛排，所以我要求更换厨师。今天的晚餐很美味。 Kaito and I after our Tuesday night hit.I got back to the room, went to sleep and already got into match rhythm. I woke up, went for breakfast with Mirka and Tony, got my stuff ready, just making sure that I have enough shirts, shoes, etc. This time I actually had a problem with my rackets. Last night I was rushing so bad to get to the player welcome party after my practice that I forgot to get my rackets strung for today's match. But the tournament helped out to get the rackets from the hotel to the tennis courts before me so they could be ready. I was glad that everything worked out in the end. Kaito和我在昨晚的对打之後，他让我到睡觉时还深陷在比赛的节奏里。我起床後，跟 Tony和Mirka吃个早餐，准备好我的东西，就是确定我带足够的衬衫、鞋子等等。在这个 时候我的球拍有些问题，因为昨晚我太急忙去参加球员的欢迎会，我没有把今天要比赛的 球拍线弄好，但主办单位会在我从旅馆到球场之前帮我准备好球拍，所以这些都已经准备 好了。我很高兴在最後什麽事都准备妥当了。 I got the stadium and when I walked out on Centre Court for my first match I felt the place buzzing. There were a lot of fans out there today and that made me feel really happy and excited to play. It went very well for a first match as I didn't know my opponent at all before going on court and that always makes it pretty difficult. As you know I won in two tough tiebreak sets. After the match I had to do press, doping test, stretch and massage, the usual looooong routine. 我到球场後，走进中央球场准备打我第一场比赛的时候，我听到有嗡嗡的声音，今天有 一大堆的球迷在外面，让我对今天的比赛感到非常高兴跟兴奋。第一场比赛的结果非常好 ，在比赛前我对我的对手一无所知，而且他们总是让我感到很艰难，跟你们知道的，我赢 了两盘艰难的抢七。比赛完後，我做了记者会、一些伸展和按摩，一些非常非常长在比赛 後会举行的惯例事情。 Stop making me twitch Dmitry! Get on with your own blog. After the match I always like to get in touch with friends and family but here in Japan my 'stone age' mobile phone doesn't work. They are so advanced here with the modern technologies that I really need to try and get the latest stuff from here before I go back. 喂，Dmitry，别再让我抽搐了，写你自己的blog啦！每次经过一场比赛後，我总是习惯跟 我的朋友、家人连络，但在日本这里，我那支「石器时代」的手机却不能用，这边有很多 先进的科技，我最後回去的时候，真的需要试试从这里带点什麽有用的东西回去。 I will be funnier again tomorrow as I am quite tired from the match and Dmitry is looking over my shoulder and making me very nervous… 我必须明天再来这里开玩笑了，因为我实在受够今天比赛後的疲累，以及Dmitry一直在仔 细检查我的肩膀，他让我感到异常的紧张。 Sayonara 再见(日文)。 Rog --
