※ [本文转录自 Agassi 看板] 作者: youtwo (Farewell, Brando.) 看板: Agassi 标题: Andre和Andy惺惺相惜的前後辈情谊 时间: Sun Aug 8 22:52:29 2004 刚刚除了看完Andre的赛後访问 也顺便看了Roddick对上Andre赛前跟赛後的访问 觉得Andy真是可爱极了 两人之间的互动真令人羡慕 正如Andy所说的 能有多少人可以和自己儿时的偶像变成朋友呢 :) 关於赛後他们在网前的小谈话: Andre说 "I suppose I'll leave that between us. It was very nice." Roddick说 We didn't really say much. It was just, you know, I said, "Well done. That was too good." You know, he said something. I couldn't really hear anything, to be honest. (:PPP) 节录些赛前Andy的访问有关Andre的部份: Q. Talk about Andre a little bit tomorrow. ANDY RODDICK: I'm excited. That's always fun. You know, we're good friends. And, you know, it's always a trip to play someone you grew up idolizing. He's proven everyone wrong once again, right, with this week. I mean, he's hitting the ball great again. I'll definitely have my hands full, that's for sure. Q. You haven't played him since last summer. That was the first time you beat him. ANDY RODDICK: Yeah. Q. You remember anything back to that match? He had the thorn in your side until then. ANDY RODDICK: Well, I played him twice when I was 17, so I wasn't feeling too good about my prospects then. Then he absolutely thrashed me one year in San Jose pretty badly. Then last year I think I saved a matchpoint actually and, you know, was able to sneak through. So, you know, I don't know. I think it's a different ball game now. I think you have to kind of look ahead. It's no secret what Andre is going to do - he's going to punish the ball from the baseline and he's going to enforce himself. We've seen him play for years and years and years now. But handling that is a lot easier said than done, that's for sure. Q. As you said, you pretty much know what Andre is going to do. ANDY RODDICK: Yeah. Q. Is it fair to say that having his former coach is not going to lead to any secrets about weaknesses? (记者在赛前也同时问了Andre有关Brad Gilbert的问题 Andre一贯以很中庸的口吻回答说好的教练就会帮选手提升他的长处, 改进比较不足的地方 说Brad这麽好的教练加上Andy这麽好的球员, 产生的结果就是一个在场上表现很棒的选手. 这里Andy回答的就很可爱 说Andre其实没有什麽弱点让Brad来说 *^^*) ANDY RODDICK: Well, okay, there's -- well, that would be great except Andre doesn't have a whole lot of weaknesses, you know. Even Brad will tell you that. I mean, he's -- you know, there's a difference between having a coach who used to coach a player who knows something about a weakness. But Andre is rock solid. So, you know, I don't think there's a lot, you know -- I wouldn't read too much into that, I don't think. Q. You said you grew up idolizing Agassi ? ANDY RODDICK: Yeah. Q. What are your first memories? Do you remember when he first came up the whole "image is everything" attitude? (还记得长发披肩, 戴桃红色头巾, 染金发, 穿牛仔短裤打球的Andre吗? Andy说他小时候就很有印象 也曾经模仿 :P 觉得现在的Andre和以前当然是大大不相同了 但是能认识自己的儿时偶像 进而变成朋友 真是一件很酷的事情 :) ) ANDY RODDICK: Absolutely. I had the jean shorts and the tights and all that good stuff, unfortunately (laughter). Q. The dyed blond hair? ANDY RODDICK: No, it was blond on its own. But, yeah, it almost seems like two different people, you know. It's been great to kind of get to know him and become friendly with him as well. You know, it's not every kid gets to kind of grow up and develop somewhat of a friendship with one of their idols. So it's pretty cool. Q. How would you characterize your relationship with Andre. When you were younger, did he ever say some things, advice? (Andy说Andre对他很好, 有跟他一起练习, 打过比赛. 还超棒的跟他说 如果有任何问题或是任何需要帮忙的地方 随时都很欢迎去找他 :) ) ANDY RODDICK: Absolutely. He was great to me. You know, he was -- I was 17, I think, end of 2000. We had played twice that year. Two times that winter we had practiced for a week together, and, you know, we played a couple XOs. He's just been great, you know. He's made it known that if I ever need anything, have any questions about this whole circus, then, you know, I'm more than welcome to go ask him. And, you know, he's just been great. I couldn't have asked for more from him. He's been awesome. -------------------------------------------------- 再节录些比赛过後Andy的访谈 可以看到Andy很有运动风度的 虽然对於落败有些失望跟检讨 但是还是很高兴Andre能赢得比赛证明自己 并在记者问些有些暗示性的问题时很诚恳直接的帮Andre说话 真是太可爱了~~~ *^^* Q. Andre raved about that match, said it's one he'll probably remember for a while. Despite losing, is it similar in your mind? ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, I mean, it's disappointing. But he played -- I mean, he played great. I was hanging on the whole time. He didn't really give me an open look, you know. There weren't a lot of unforced errors, and that's as clean as someone's hit the ball against me. So props to him. Q. How big of a disappointment is it at the moment? ANDY RODDICK: It's pretty disappointing. Yeah, it's not good. Q. Do you have anything that you think of now that you could have done better out there? ANDY RODDICK: I could have returned a little bit better. I wasn't giving myself a shot. Especially second serve returns. But that being said, every time I did make a second serve return, he was just killing it to the other corner. So I don't know. I mean, "Would have," "Could have," "Should have." But he played too well for me tonight. He was the better player; he deserved to win. Q. You disputed a fair amount of calls out there. What effect did that have on you during the match? (记者问到比赛中Andy质疑的判决, 起先他不愿多谈...) ANDY RODDICK: I don't know. I'm gonna save myself some money and not comment on that. Q. You and Andre shared some words at the net there at the end. (真可惜Andy没听清楚Andre在说什麽...) ANDY RODDICK: We didn't really say much. It was just, you know, I said, "Well done. That was too good." You know, he said something. I couldn't really hear anything, to be honest. Q. You complained about the line calls. Did that make a difference? (当记者继续追问那些被Andy质疑的判决是否影响比赛结果时, Andy很有风度的说不会.) ANDY RODDICK: I already answered that. I'm not going to talk about it. I'd like to keep my prize money from this week. I mean, it didn't really make a difference because a couple of them, it was just -- it was surprising. It wouldn't have affected the outcome of the match most likely. It was just a little frustrating. Q. Just it's always -- guys lose, but there were so many incredible exchanges throughout that three-set match, so many great points. I know you don't look at a loss as something that's good, but if you were to just look at the overall play over that - whatever it was, two and a half hours - how would you put that as far as matches you played this year? ANDY RODDICK: I don't know. It's tough. You know, obviously with, you know, the electricity that was out there, you know, each point was magnified, you know, more so than, you know -- it was a pretty highly anticipated match. You know, there are a lot of factors that go into making it kind of a good match, and they were all there tonight. Q. Were you amazed at some of the returns he hit? You know Andre ... (这位记者问了一个相当不礼貌且具有暗示性的问题... Andy的回答也相当直接.) ANDY RODDICK: Not really. He's the best returner of all-time. You know, it's... That would be like you asking him if he was amazed that I served hard. Q. Two weeks ago most people would not have mentioned him as a threat at the US Open, the way things were going for him. Should he be in that category? (记者问Andy说觉不觉得Andre还有能力和现在年轻好手们争夺美网冠军, Andy暨之前某次访问说 "If there's one thing I know, it's not to worry about Andre Agassi!"之後, 再度发表铿锵有力的名言 "If you know one thing, it's not to write Andre Agassi off." 感觉在这点上, 他很懂Andre, 了解他还在球场上征战的执着. Andy还说虽然输了比赛很失望, 但心里面其实有一部份为Andre高兴 高兴看到Andre能用实力证明自己还能以高水准和大家竞赛.) ANDY RODDICK: Well, those people aren't too intelligent. If you know one thing, it's not to write Andre Agassi off. You guys had him written off seven years ago. So, you know, he thrives on that. You know, I'm disappointed that I lost, but part of me is happy that he just kind of, you know, just -- he let his racquet do the talking, and it's saying something. Q. Are you amazed that he can still do this at his age, considering the number of players his age on tour? ANDY RODDICK: I am going to be amazed if I can walk up the stairs fast when I'm 34, much less play that level of tennis. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. I can't even imagine myself out here 13 years from now, you know, competing with the best players in the world. That just seems, you know, amazingly farfetched. But it's weird to think when he started on tour I was three or four, and he's still out here playing at this level. So, I mean, that's pretty amazing. Andy真是个真性情, 可爱的球员 也是个在各方面都越来越成熟, 并且能吸引观众来欣赏网球的好球员 希望他以後也多多加油罗... :) --
