Questions for Rafa: throwing some shapes on the dancefloor and singing La Bamba Hi Rafa, congratulations for your season 2008!!! The history of final to Wimbledon was unbelievable. I am exciting with your style to play tennis and I admire you for your personality in the court and off that. You're a model for me in my professional carrier for the way to perform! Please, tell me how you evaluate the chances for the Davis Cup Team of Spain in the semis with the USA match? I will support you in all the actions you are involved to have a big success! GOOD LUCK! The biggest fan from Romania, Dana 问豆豆Davis Cup觉得西班牙和美国哪队会赢？(问题前後都不忘表达一下对豆豆爱意) RN: Thanks a lot for this. Not much more I can say 豆：非常感谢你的支持。我所能说的不多。 Hi Rafa, why do always choose to receive instead of to serve? Do you like to be under pressure? Do you work better when you are one set behind? Ahmad Fuadi 问豆豆为什麽赛前总是选接发而不是发球？是不是喜欢在有压力打球？是不是在一盘落後 会打的更好？ RN: I prefer to try to break in the first game. It is something I have always done since many years. It use to work more before I have to say. I prefer not to be under pressure and that's one of the reasons I like to break early. But if I am I try to handle it in the best way possible. Regarding the last question, I prefer to work better when I am ahead. Much easier, believe me. 豆：我比较喜欢在第一局就尝试破发。我这麽做很久了，这蛮管用的。我不喜欢在有压力 的情况下打球(我一直以为你是见五才醒的人…)，这也是我喜欢早点破发的原因之ㄧ。但 如果有压力，我也会尽可能的打出最好的球。关於最後一题，我宁愿在领先时又打的好。 相信我，这会容易很多。(对球迷而言也会轻松很多…) Hola Rafa! When you are away from home for a long time, you probably miss a lot of people. Who do you miss the most? Virginia Huynh 问豆豆离家这麽久最想念谁？ RN: My sister, my father and mother and in general my friends and family. 豆：我妹妹、爸爸和妈妈。一般来说是我家人和朋友。 Rafa, do you remember when you sang karaoke of the song "La Bamba" on some French TV show before 2007 French Open? Now whenever they play that song, on the radio, or even on Arthur Ashe stadium, I have to smile because it reminds me of you. Is there a song that makes you smile whenever you hear it? What is the silliest thing that you have ever done that you can remember? Thanks! U2onair, NY 问豆豆还记得La Bamba吗？XDDD有没有歌是让豆豆一听就想笑的？然後豆豆记忆中做过 最蠢的事是什麽？ RN: Yes, that was at Roland Garros a couple of years ago. That was probably one of the funny things I have done in public, I suppose, apart from my early days press conferences with all the "invented words". 豆：记得啊~那是好几年前在法网的事了(明明才过了一年…)。那可能是我在公开场合做 过最好笑的事情之ㄧ了，我猜，扣掉我早期在新闻发布会的”豆豆语”的话。 Hola Rafa! Felicidades! I wanted to thank you for answering the questions that your fans write to you because it shows your respect for us and also gives us a little bit of an opportunity to get to know you better. I have many questions, but this is one that I have never heard asked of you before. First of all, I love to dance A LOT! I was wondering if you are a great dancer and if you like to dance? It seems logical to me that you would be a great dancer because you have such great footwork on the court! Gracias! Karmela Lucero, Albuquerque, NM 前略，问豆豆喜不喜欢跳舞？舞技如何？ RN: I think I am an OK dancer. Not great but can do something decent on a dance floor. 豆：我觉得还ok啦~不是非常好，但舞池中该做的事都做得到。 Congratulations Rafa for many wonderful accomplishments this year and good luck in New York. My question is concerning the internet. Do you ever browse the blogs and websites that discuss tennis? Teresa 问豆豆有没有看过讨论网球的blog和网站？ RN: Yes, I do. Specially the ones in newspapers. 豆：有。特别是报纸上的那些。 Hi Rafa! I was wondering what the very best moment of your life has been so far. Also, Congrats on becoming Number 1! Alex 问豆豆至今最好的时刻是何时？ RN: This is a very tough questions. I have been lucky enough that playing tennis I have had great moments. I could not point out one or two. Too many. But this year it has been really special 豆：这很难说ㄟ~就网球而言，我很幸运有很多很棒的时刻。我不可能只点出一两个，有 太多太棒的。但今年真的很特别。 Have you considered using a stun gun on or at least shooting a rubber band at reporters who ask you questions that reveal that they know nothing about you, such as why you're wearing tape on your knees? Tracy, Alabama 问豆豆有没有想打问蠢问题记者的冲动？XD RN: No, I have a lot of respect for everyone. As long as they are not bad intentioned it is OK with me. 豆：不会啦~我尊重所有的人。只有他们没有恶意我都OK！(豆豆好乖~不过我会想打就是 了…) Hi Rafa, I have been watching you play all year and you are just getting better! I've seen you play at Wimbledon the last 3 years and you are pleasure to watch. Congratulations on getting to No 1 well deserved, even though I love Roger and hope to see him return to his usual great form soon. Good luck at the US Open. I too get blisters and sore fingers when I play tennis but not on my feet, how do you cope with the pain? Sue 问豆豆要怎麽处理手指的水泡和疼痛？ RN: Tough, really tough, specially if they look like the one I had in Rome. No excuse, I lost and that's part of the game, but really tough to cope with. I had a lot of help from doctors and my physio Rafael Maymo. 豆：很难很难喔，特别是像我在罗马的那一次。不是找藉口，我输了而这是比赛的一部份 ，但那个水泡真的很难处理。我的医生和物理治疗师Rafael Maymo帮我很多。 Congratulations on all your success! It is a true pleasure to watch you play. My question is: What is your relationship with Roger Federer like when you are away from the tennis courts, and has this changed any since you have swapped positions in the rankings? Good luck for the rest of the US Open! Tina, Northern Ireland 问豆豆跟Federer的关系如何？ RN: My relationship with Roger is very good. We are good colleagues and get along well. Our relationship hasn't changed at all since we swapped positions. He is a great guy. 豆：我跟Roger的关系非常好。我们是很好的夥伴相处起来也很愉快。我们之间的关系没 有因为排名互换而变。他是个好人(发卡)。 Hi Rafa, did some players (men or women, actual or former champions) congratulate you for your number 1 ranking? Mathilde, France 问豆豆有没有球员(男女、退休在役不限)恭喜他得第一？ RN: Yes, many of them and I thank them a lot for that. 豆：有啊，很多人喔~非常感谢他们。 Hola Rafa! Congratulations on a terrific year so far and at last the well deserved No 1 spot. I'm sure like me all your fans are delighted. My question is, if you had to sit next to someone famous, from the past or present, on a 13 hour flight who would you choose and why? Good luck in the US Open - we know you can do it. Sharon 问豆豆在13小时的飞行中，跟哪位名人坐，为什麽？ RN: I have been asked this question before and believe me when I say I have not an answer for this. I like to sleep on the planes so I suppose it would not be a good place to get to know anyone... 豆：我之前就被问过这题了。相信我，真的没有答案。在飞机上我喜欢睡觉，所以我想那 不会是个认识任何人的好地方… --
