NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK R. NADAL/B. Phau 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 Q. I guess there was a little bit of a scare out there today in round 1. I guess all the talk about facing Federer, you have to worry about the Mardy Fishes and the Robby Ginepris of the world before you worry about a championship? RAFAEL NADAL: I never talk about playing against Federer, no. You talk a lot. I know how tough it is every round. I try to go round to round. I'm not thinking far away than second round right now. Q.我想，今天在第一轮的比赛中，有一些惊险的气氛存在。先前的访谈也是在谈论和 Federer之後的对决，在你为取得冠军头衔担心之前，你要先挂心於对之後和Mardy Fishes以及Robby Ginepris的比赛吗？ Rafa:我从来没有谈论过和Federer比赛的事情。倒是你们常常提起！我知道，每一轮的比 赛都具有一定的困难度，因此，我尝试於一轮接一轮的挺进！现在才进行到第二轮， 我不想想得太远！ Q. Do you think he played much better than his normal level today against you? RAFAEL NADAL: I think I help a little bit him, to play to this level. Sure, he's good player. He played well today. But I didn't play with normal intensity. I play a little bit less intensity than last few months for sure. Important thing, final, is win. I know I am playing well, because I did very well the last few months. Probably I'm a little bit tired more than I usually. And the thing is try to be good, no? Mentally and physically, because I think I am playing good tennis, no? Q.你认为今天你的比赛对手发挥的比他平常的状态好吗？ Rafa:我想，对於他今天比赛的状况，我确实有帮助到他的球技发挥。当然，他是个很棒的 选手！今天他打得非常好！但是，我没有发挥到正常的水准！我确实打得比之前几个 月少了些热切感。重要的是能在最後拿下胜利！我知道我现在打得很好，因为在近几 个月我的表现都不错！或许，现在的我来的比平常的我更觉得疲惫吧。我只想尽可能 的打出我的水准，不论心理和生理水准！因为，我想我打得真的非常好！ Q. How difficult is it to make the change from Beijing and going through that tournament, doing all this flying, and starting with a few days' rest? Is that difficult? RAFAEL NADAL: I don't -- well, I don't think so, no? It's important, jet lag. But for the rest is fine. The problem is play Toronto, Cincinnati, Beijing, come back here. So in two weeks, two times, 12 hours' jet lag. Before, after Wimbledon I only have 6, 7 days for recover. Before Wimbledon I play Queen's, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Hamburg, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon, too. The system is very tough, no? But the same time, I have to be very happy. I must be very happy how I did this year, anyway, if I lose, for example, tomorrow, hopefully not. But anyway, I am happy about how I played this year. And just try to continue playing like this in this tournament. Q.从北京奥运转换到现在的比赛状况是如何的困难呢？长时间的飞行，以及在休息几天後 就开始比赛，是不是有一定的困难度？ Rafa:不，我不这麽认为。时差确实是重点！但是，调适後的结果却是不错的！主要的问题 在於打完Toronto、Cincinnati、Beijing等赛事後，继续回来这里参加比赛。所以在 两星期内，一共面对两次十二小时的时差调整。先前，在参加完温网的比赛，我只有 六、七天的体力恢复时间。而在温网前，我参加了Queen's、Monte Carlo、 Barcelona、Hamburg、Roland Garros以及温布敦的赛事！这样的赛程安排是非常有 挑战性的！但是，在此同时，我必需感到快乐於网球比赛。我必需对於今年到目前为 止我的表现感到开心！假如，明天输球，我也会乐於接受，但希望不会如此。总之， 我很为今年我的比赛状况感到高兴。在这项赛事中，我只要持续保持我的打球水准就 可以了！ Q. Do you think you're more worn out physically, emotionally, or mentally? RAFAEL NADAL: Tired? Q.你认为，你的生理、心理和心情方面的状态已经是处於疲倦的状态了吗？ Rafa:疲倦吗？ Q. Yes. RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. Yeah, I think it is a little bit of everything, no? Probably the toughest thing is mentally, no? Because I for the last month or last -- yeah, last weeks, I was very concentrate all the days with how, have break, you know, maybe sometimes the more difficult part is be all the day focus on one thing, no? So I did that for a lot of months, so right now I think I don't want to say another time I'm tired. I am a little bit tired, yes, but it is US Open so I have to try my best here, and I'm going to try my best for sure. Q.确实感到疲倦了吗？ Rafa:还不是很清楚。我想，对於每件事情的进行是有那麽一点的感觉。最困难的可能是在 心理方面的提昇吧…因为，在过去的几个月，也可以说是过去的几星期，我都非常专 注於如何更突破自己的状态。你知道的，有时候也可能处在整天都必需集中精神在一 件事情上。这几个月以来，我都在做这样的动作，所以，我现在不想再下一次又提起 觉得疲倦的这件事。我现在确实有一点疲劳，但现在但是美网的赛事，所以我必需尽 量的在这里发挥我的最佳状态，而且，我一定会努力在这一点上！ Q. Elena Dementieva said earlier today that she was having a bit of hard time shifting focus from gold medal victory in Beijing and now to come here. She said it's just been a difficult shift of focus. RAFAEL NADAL: No, for me, not. For me that's sure not the problem. I win, from here win a lot of things from here. The problem was while I was very exciting one week ago I win the gold medal but at the same time play here, I have to play here in one week. For me, that's not the problem, I win Roland Garros and in one week I have to be 100% ready for Wimbledon. I think I'm ready for these things. The thing is be ready for rest of things, because I played a lot. First round always is difficult, and hopefully next round I play much better , no? That's what I think. Q.Elena Dementieva在今天稍早说，她在如何将在北京取得奥运金牌的胜利和回到这里继 续参加比赛，有一些难以转换注意力的困难。她说，只是很难於转於专注力。那你呢？ Rafa:我没有这样的状况。对我来说，这不是问题。我从其他很多地方也拿下比赛胜利。问 题在於，当我正为一星期前拿下金牌而兴奋时，我却必需在一星期内来到这里继续比 赛！而对我来说，那并不构成困扰，我在拿下Roland Garros时，在一星期之内我必 需100%全力为温网比赛准备！我想，我已经做好面对这些事情的准备了！重点在於为 接下来的比赛做准备，因为我要参加很多比赛。第一轮的比赛总是困难的，希望下一 轮我能打得更好！这就是我对这问题的看法。 Q. Are you concerned a little bit about how long it took to play this match as far as continuing on, especially because, as you say, there is a little bit of being tired involved because of the travel? RAFAEL NADAL: I won in three sets. The result is good for me, the result is always good. Win in three sets is always good result. I had some difficult moments, so that's going to help me for a little bit, be prepared for the pressure moments. So I play well when I have the pressure moments, only if I fall with the break, no? I play bad. But for the rest, I think I was serving fine , what is important thing. Q.你对於，花多少时间在每场比赛上面有什麽看法呢？特别在於，就像你先前所提得为赛 事而旅行是否是造成你疲惫的原因呢？ Rafa:我连续拿下三盘。对我而言，这个结果是好的！结果总是有好影响。连赢三盘是好事 ！在我曾遭遇一些困难时候，它确实给我很大的帮助，面对在有压力时的比赛！所以 ，我在有压力的情况之下打的特别好！只有在我不能拿下破发时，我才会有表现不好 的时候。但对於之後的事情，我认为我的发球很好，这是最重要的一点！ Q. Why do you think you haven't had great success here? Is it the court? Is it the atmosphere? Why haven't you had a good... RAFAEL NADAL: Probably tough part of the season. It's the last -- I played a lot, straight , and probably when I arrive here, always is tougher part of the year, no? Because after here, you have normally some weeks off after prepare the last part of the season, the indoors. But when you arrive here, you play Wimbledon, we don't have lot of time here for prepare hardcourt season, and we play Toronto, Cincinnati, and here. But I don't know. You know, the thing , I didn't play very well here in the last years, no? In 2006, I was playing fine, no? I had tough match against Youzhny. He played very well, but I had big chances beat him and be in semifinals. Right now hopefully just play better. Q.你认为你在这里无法取得很好的成绩是因为场地吗？场边气氛？还是其他的原因呢？ Rafa:可能是因为，这是硬地赛季中比较困难突破的时刻吧。这是最後的硬地球场比赛--- 而我在先前已经连续参加很多赛事了，所以当我到达这里比赛时，都会觉得这是一年 当中比较困难发挥的时候。因为，在这个赛事之後，你会有几个礼拜的正常休息时间 来为接下来的年终室内赛事做准备。但是在你到达这里比赛时，才刚打完温网的比赛 ，我们没有足够的时间来为硬地赛事备战。接着我们就要打Toronto、Cincinnati和 这里的比赛。但我不晓得，打不好的原因…在过去的几年，我在这里的表现都不是很 出色。在06年时，我打得还不错。我和Youzhny有一场精采的比赛。他打得非常好， 但我有很大的机会能打败他并进入半决赛！现在，我只希望能打得更好罗！ Q. Are you feeling more comfortable on the hardcourts? RAFAEL NADAL: I did very well this year, yeah. Q.你在硬地球场中感觉很适应了吗？ Rafa:嗯！今年我打得非常好在硬地球场上！ Q. For the last three years you've been chasing No. 1, and that's always been a big motivation in front of you to do well in tournaments. This is your first Grand Slam as the No. 1. Does that change the way you feel playing, the way that you're motivated towards your setting goals? RAFAEL NADAL: Doesn't matter for me, no. Not the truth, believe me. I have the same goal - play now same as I was No. 2. When I was No. 2 I was very happy. I'm very motivate to play tournament, not for play tournament, for be No. 1. You understand me now? I have the same goal. Right now I try to play very good tournament for win the US Open, no? When I was No. 2, the goal was the same, was win the US Open, but the goal wasn't win the US Open for be No. 1. The goal is win US Open, no? Q.在过去的这三年中，你都一直追寻着世界第一的位子，而这对你而言一直是让你表现出 色的一大激励！这是你在大满贯中第一次成为世界排名第一。这对你比赛方面的发挥状 态有没有任何改变呢？有没有影响到你对设定目标的方式呢？ Rafa:不，没有改变。相信我，我是不会改变的！我仍然有同样的目标--就和我在排名第二 时一样。我非常享受世界第二的身份，对於参加赛事总是有很大的激励！而不是为了 成为第一而比赛！我还是有相同的目标追寻！现在，我正努力於打好比赛来取得美网 的胜利！在我是世界排名第二的选手时，我的目标也是一样的-拿下美网冠军，而不 是为了成为第一而赢得美网！我的目标是，取得US Open!! (Vamos,RAFA!!) Q. Do you feel the balls are playing the same this year as they were last year? I understand they're playing a little bit heavier. RAFAEL NADAL: You know, I think yes, no? The feeling always change for us, because it depends. For example, I put example. When you are coming, when you play Cincinnati and when you coming from Montreal, Cincinnati seems slow. And when you are playing Cincinnati and comes from Toronto, Cincinnati is very fast. So it depends on the last, no? The Olympics was the same ball, but seems this here a little bit heavy, no? I think it's the same like last year . Q.你觉得，今年的球和去年的球打起来感觉是一样的吗？据我所知，今年的打起来比较 重一些。 Rafa:就像你所知道的，我想也是如此吧！感觉总是因为我们而改变，那是视情况而定的。 我在这里举个例好了…当你去打Cincinnati的赛事，而正好先前你才结束Montreal 的比赛时，那麽Cincinnati赛事时的球感觉就比较慢。而当你是在先打完Toronto 的赛事，再去打Cincinnati的话，在Cincinnati感觉的球就比较快。所以，要看哪 一个赛事是你参加美网前的最後一个而定。和在奥运时打得球是一样的球，但是似 乎这里的重了点…但我想，还是和去年的球是一样的吧。 ============================================================================== GO,RAFA!! 虽然，有时候会有累的感觉，但经过数小时的休息和调整，我相信状况会愈来愈好！ 来， 让我们一起为美网、为Rafa加油吧！ :) -- 为有点努力的自己加油、打气！ --
