Roger Federer Monday, August 31, 2009R. FEDERER/D. Britton 6 1, 6 3, 7 5 An interview with: Roger Federer THE MODERATOR: Roger today became the first player to win $50 million in prize money, just to let you know. Roger你今天成为了第一个赢到5000万奖金的选手，只是让你知道一下. ROGER FEDERER: No need to write about that. (Laughter.) RF: 不需要写这个吧（笑） Q. Off to a very good start. How did you feel out there today? Q: 今天你有一个很好的开始, 你的感觉是？ ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, obviously always happy to win matches at Grand Slams or any tournament, so it was a good start to the tournament for me. I didn't drop a set, and, you know, tricky match for me. Playing a guy who's got absolutely nothing to lose obviously. I'm here as a five time defending champion, so it makes it a bit tricky. He did play I think really well. He had some very good spells, and I had to make sure from my side that I stayed with him and come back, because I was down a break in the second and in the third. So it was good to still get through in three sets. RF: 喔是阿, 不管什麽比赛, 大满贯也好, 其他巡回赛也好, 赢球总是会很高兴的嘛, 今天是一个很好的开始, 没有掉任何一盘. 不过面对完全没有输球的压力的对手, 对我 来说是一场不好处理的比赛. 我要在这里尝试卫冕五次冠军, 这让我感到有些难打. 他打的相当好, 有一些很不错的 魅力. 我在第二盘和第三盘都被破发过, 比分上必须要努力跟上他并超越, 所以我很开 心依然能在用三盘完成这场比赛. Q. He used the word "scary" when describing what it's like to be out there playing you. We've talked in this room many times about the aura you've had in the past. Last year there was a lot of conversation about, you know, perhaps maybe you've lost a little bit of that. Do you feel like, you know, it's back and you know, I mean, that aura with other players? If you can describe where your head is about that right now. 当他用了一个字眼形容跟你对打的时候, 是"恐怖的". 我们过去也曾经在这个房里谈过 这种气氛, 去年就有谈到一些, 就是关於如果你输了的话, 对於其他选手是种什麽样感 觉, 你可以形容看看吗？ ROGER FEDERER: Well, I think with the success I've had, you know, I think especially young players right now, they'll always be in sort of awe maybe of great players. These guys start to be like 10 years younger than me and followed my generation, you know. They were 10 years old, and I was, you know, playing maybe my best and stuff. RF: 嗯我想, 当我已经有了现在这样的成功, 特别是这些年轻球员, 他们现在一定对於 这些伟大的球员有或多或少的敬畏. 而且这些年轻人都比我年轻个十岁, 接在我的世代 之後, 在这十年里面, 我可能打出我最好的东西出来了. So it's like it's interesting now, with a new generation coming up and almost idolizing some players. Some maybe me, I don't know, because that's what happened with me. All of a sudden I was in front of Pete Sampras at Wimbledon and I couldn't believe it, you know. 所以就像一些有趣的话题, 新的世代正在出现, 他们几乎都有崇拜某些球员, 有些人可 能崇拜我, 也许, 我不知道, 因为这也发生过在我身上, 就跟Pete Sampras突然地就站 在你前面一样, 很难置信. I think, especially if you admire a player, it doesn't matter if he's lost first round, you know, many times or he's won many times the last year or so. It's what he's achieved and what you think of that player. And then plus obviously the biggest stadium in the world, you're always going to be nervous. Sure, I think I think with the top guys, if you beat them on a regular basis and you're very successful, I think then you can maybe build an aura again, that's for sure. 我觉得, 特别是你很钦佩一个选手, 你不会觉得他会输掉第一轮比赛很多次, 不然他怎 麽赢得去年的比赛或是其他？这是他达到的成就也是你会对他的想法. 再加上这是一个世界上最大的球场, 你总是会觉得很紧张, 又跟顶尖的选手对打, 如果 你可以正式的击败他, 那麽你会取得重大成功, 我想到时候你可能又会再次创造出一种 气氛, 想要确定它是不是真的. Q. You were just talking about young players, but what do you think the young Roger Federer who was trying to win the Orange Bowl and trying to somehow figure out the pro tour and get a rhythm, the young boy, what do you think he would think of Roger Federer today with all your records, all your accomplishments, your fame? What do you think his thoughts would be on Roger today? 你谈论到了年轻选手们, 那你觉得年轻的Roger Federer, 那个曾经试着去赢下Orange Bowl, 曾经试着去了解那些职业比赛并取得节奏的男孩, 你觉得这个年轻男孩对今天的 Federer, 这个拥有所有你的记录, 成就和名望的你, 会是什麽感觉？你会觉得当时的他 会想到变成今天的你吗？ ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I think I've come a long way. I didn't ever expect to be this successful. I knew I had something special in me, more talent that other players. Maybe the belief, you know, that I could play at a very high level on any given day. But I knew I had many problems of showing that day in and day out, because I struggled a lot in practice. So I think where I've come, it's absolutely amazing. Yeah, I mean, if my career to end today, you know, I'm a happy man. I achieved everything I could ever ask for, really. RF: 喔是阿, 我走过很长的路, 我从来没期待过会取得现在这样的成功, 我知道我有些 特别之处, 比别人有较多的天份. 或许是信念, 让我在这些日子能打出这麽高水准的程 度. 但是我知道我在一天早晚都会做的事情中, 都有过很多的问题, 因为我努力於大量的练 习中, 所以我觉得我所到达的成就, 是真的很令人惊讶的. 对阿, 就算是今天我的生涯 结束了, 我还是个开心的人, 因为我要求过的每件事情都达到了, 真的. Q. What is that belief today? You've spoken a lot about the importance of belief to your success every time you step on the court. How would you describe that belief that you have right now? Q: 那你现在的信念是？你每次都说了很多关於信念对你在赛场上成功的重要性, 你要怎 麽形容现在你所拥有的信念？ ROGER FEDERER: Well, I think I always had it as a little boy. I always knew I could be, you know, a great player. I always knew I could beat the other guy across the net, even though things didn't look very good. Then later on, you know, it sort of changes because you've proven yourself, you've had success. But then it's just belief that you can do it day in, day out. You can show it against the best in the world. You can show it in any stadium around the world. All those things, it's just important to have belief. It varies, it changes, you know, throughout your career, but you've going to make sure that it stays with you, because otherwise you start questioning yourself. This is then when you take decisions on the tennis court which are not the best. RF: 是阿, 我总是在很小的时候就拥有信念, 我总是知道我可以成为一个很好的球员, 我总是觉得我可以击败网子对面的人, 即使事情看起来并不顺利. 不过因为你总是表现 出你自己, 然後事情就会有些许的转变, 你会取得成功. 然後你要相信你可以一日从早到晚都做到这些事, 你就可以展现出最好的给全世界, 你 就可以展现在全世界的赛场上, 所有像这些的事情, 所以拥有信念是很重要的. 当在你生涯中有些事情不同了, 改变了, 你要去确定信念是不是还跟着你, 否则你会开 始质疑你自己, 这会使你在网球场上做出不是最好的决定. Q. Is your belief now the greatest that it's been? Q. 你现在成为最伟大的球员的信念达到了吗？ ROGER FEDERER: I don't think so, no. I've had times where I think I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and I was going to do, and probably gonna win, as well. So not really, no. RF: 不是, 我不这麽认为, 我有想过几次, 知道我想做什麽, 而我现在也正在做, 可能 就是继续赢球下去之类的. 所以不是你说的那样, 不是. Q. We know you're a student of history. The question is: You don't hear the name Bill Tilden mentioned a lot these days, but a lot of tennis historians contend he's the greatest of all time. What would winning this tournament and tying his record of six consecutive championships mean to you? Q. 我们知道你是读历史的学生. 问题来了: "这些时日你不太会听到Bill Tilden的名字 被提起, 但是很多网球历史学者会争论他是不是历史上最伟大的选手. 你觉得能赢得这 个赛事, 并追平他的六连贯的纪录, 对於你的意义是什麽？" ROGER FEDERER: Sure, it's amazing. That's what I'm here for, trying to equal Bill Tilden's record. But I've never met Bill Tilden. Never saw him play, so it's hard to kind of relate to him in any way, you know, except through records. Yeah, I mean, it's fantastic to be sort of, you know, compared to someone who played such a long time ago, I guess. My generation, or the people I looked up, you know, came much later than Bill Tilden. So it's hard for me to saying about that, really. RF: 当然, 这很惊人, 我要在这里试着去追平Bill Tilden的纪录, 但是我从来没遇见过 他, 也从来没看过他打球, 所以在任何方面都很难说跟他有所关连, 当然除了记录啦. 不过是阿, 难以置信可以跟一个非常久远的一些人做比较. 我猜, 我的这个世代的人都 比Bill Tilden的年代晚非常多, 所以这问题对我来说真的很难说些什麽. Q. Along with your knowledge of history and tennis, do you think your spot in history improved with Rafael Nadal coming along and giving you another champion to challenge you? ROGER FEDERER: Potentially. I think this is stuff you can talk about when my career is over, really. This is when you analyze, okay, you know, how much did Rafa Nadal help to my career and how much did I help his career? I think it was great, a great rivalry we've had so far. I definitely think it increased popularity in the game. For my own career, I don't know. I can't answer this. I think this is to be seen when both our playing days are over. Q. Now that you've won 15 and you got the one that was missing, the French Open, do you have to invent reasons now to win? ROGER FEDERER: I didn't get that. Q. Now that you've won 15 and you've got the French, do you have to now invent reasons in your mind to win? And what will be those reasons? ROGER FEDERER: Try to win again and again. That's what it is. I like being the winner of any tournament in the world. That's why when I enter: I try to win it. If I don't, okay. I walk away. I know tennis is not everything, so it's not a problem. But if I enjoy playing tennis, why should I stop just because I've beaten the all time Grand Slam record? That's not what tennis is all about. I don't think if you ask all the other 100 players in the draw, that their goal is to win 16 Grand Slams now. That's not the goal here. It's trying to enjoy, having a great career, and being the best maybe in your country. You can set different types of goals. Mine are at a very, very high level. That's just the difference. Q. How has your training regimen changed since you've become a dad? And if so, how? ROGER FEDERER: Not a whole lot yet, to be quite honest. They're only five weeks old. It's not like they're five years old yet. Q. You have to give Mirka more attention these days now? ROGER FEDERER: Well, I did before. (laughter.) That's part of the deal, you know. I like spending time with her, and that doesn't change. We had a great relationship beforehand. Now it's the same, you know. There's just two babies involved, as well. We're trying to do our best. It's a lot of fun. When I go back to the hotel. Yeah, I mean, I'll see how it goes the next few months and years. Q. Your game, the results you've attained, can you talk a bit more about the process, what it means to you being a champion? ROGER FEDERER: I didn't get it. Q. I just want to know what it means to you to be a champion beyond just the numbers. We talk about all these numbers all the time. Things you pride yourself on throughout the years of being a great player. ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, I think for me was also I gave a good image for the game of tennis. Because for a very long time I was No. 1 in the world and became Laureus Sports Award champion. I was compared to other greats in other sports. I think it's great if I was part of making the game more popular. That was something I was I'm not proud of, because I don't know the impact it really had. But I think it's nice to have maybe a face in the game, and we've had that, you know, with Rafa, myself at the top, you know, in a very good way, I think. That's something. Then obviously trying to be a good role model for kids. I think that's obviously something I've always wanted to be, that I can make maybe more juniors play tennis, that they enjoy it, that they understand tennis is a fair game, it's a great game to play. Then I hear that I'm people's favorite player or they love me. For whatever reason it is, it's just nice to hear. So those things I'm very proud of. Q. A question about serving, not necessarily germane to today's match, but when you're on those rare occasions when you're struggling with your serve, can you figure it out within the match, between the matches, or is it really something that is for the nontournament... ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, I think it depends on how you're feeling. Sometimes you have a back problem, chest problem, shoulder problem. Then sometimes your serve is up and down. It can be up and down during the match, it can be up and down during a tournament, or it can be up and down throughout a year. Once your serve is sort of doing well and your body is fine, I think you just sometimes go through maybe a set where you don't serve very well. But I think it's always important that your second serve is good, you know. No matter if your first serve goes out, you know, you have a very solid second serve. That's why you actually can go after more on your first serve, because you know you have you're backed up by a good second serve. That's why one of the reasons I can also go for aces, because I feel like I have a very reliable second serve and I can still mix it up actually a lot. Sometimes when things go bad on the serve during a match, it's hard to change them. You try to find what it is, if it's the toss, is it the wind? Is it, you know, the swing? Are you going too fast in the beginning? But then you're asking yourself many questions, and the next thing you know you're not focusing about playing the baseline points anymore. You're just trying to serve well. It's not a good approach to have. That's why then you just almost say, You know, what? I'll just serve and hopefully it's going to work out for me, you know, in the long run of the match. But sometimes it doesn't. Then you lose, you leave, and you try to fix it.
