DENIS SHAPOVALOV: What's up? Q. How good is he? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: He's good. I think he's No. 1 good (smiling). Yeah, honestly he's really solid. But I had my chances definitely. Especially after the third set, I felt a little bit physically dead. He started the fourth really well. After that it was a little bit tough. The balls rolled. He was really taking advantage. He played a really good fourth set. After that it was a little bit too late. But the first two, it was a little bit difficult for me in terms of it's not every day I'm playing a match against a top guy like this on a stage like that. Definitely I was a little bit nervous, a little bit tight on everything, just hesitating a little bit. I felt a little bit tight on everything. In the third set, that's when I kind of loosened up and started playing my tennis. I just started really just enjoying myself. I told myself, Look, you're already down two sets, so just have fun out there. That's where I felt like I really started to play my game and really showed what I can do out there. I felt like I was definitely really dominant in the third set. It was good tennis. It was fun. Like I said, in the fourth, he played a good set. It was a little bit too late for me to catch up. 问题一：对手有多好？ 沙弟：他很好，我认为他是世界第一棒（笑），非常坚定，技术扎实。 但我认为我是有机会的，特别是在第三盘之後，我感觉我的体能有点能量耗尽，并且他 在第四盘的表现非常好。所以我的处境就有点艰困，他很有优势，打出了超棒的第四盘， 但对我来说却来不及了。 前两盘我碰到了一些状况，我不是每天都在这麽棒的球场和这麽顶尖的球员竞赛，当然， 我有点紧张，对所有的事情感到紧张，就犹豫了。 在第三盘时，当我放松打球时，我开始享受过程，我告诉我自己：「你看，你已经输了 两盘，所以你只需要享受剩下的过程。」这时我觉得我真的开始打球，并且能表现出我 想表现的状态。 我觉得我在第三盘中占了上风，这是一场很棒的比赛，很好玩，就像我说的这样，他在 第四盘表现得非常好，我想赶上时已经太晚了。 Q. You had a nice embrace together at the end. Can you tell us what he was saying to you? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: No, we didn't say anything (laughter). No, he just told me it's a pleasure to play against me. Honestly the pleasure was all mine, like I said, to play a champion like him in a court like that in an event like this, it's a dream come true for me. During the match, I was smiling, enjoying my time out there. It was a lot of fun. At the same time I do want to compete against these guys in the future, in the near future. It's about physically getting ready for these types of matches. I think just getting used to it. The first couple times you play these guys, obviously you're going to be a lot more tight. After a while, a third, fourth time you start playing them, you know what it's like already, and I'll have some expectations, yeah, going into the match knowing what it's like on a court like this. I think I'm not going to be as nervous. I'm really happy that I can take this match and really learn from it. 问题二：你们最後互相拥抱，你能告诉我们他对你说了什麽话吗？ 沙弟：不，其实我们没有说什麽（笑）。他只是告诉我他很高兴能与我比赛，就像我说的 ，我和这麽好的冠军在这样的场地上竞争，这对我来说是梦想成真。 在比赛时，我有笑，我是享受在那里比赛的时光的，充满有趣的氛围。 同时，我很希望在不久的将来可以在和他竞争，这样的比赛能让我为其他相似状况的比赛 做好准备。在刚开始和这些顶尖球员竞争时会紧张，但当我习惯後，第三次、第四次与他 们交手，我已经知道他们的状态，我会做好准备并对自己有些期待，当我比赛时，我想我 比较不会如此紧张。 我真的很高兴我可以从这场比赛中学习到这些。 Q. He was very complimentary of you after the match, about the young group of players. Among the young group, are you close and supportive? Are you getting text messages, Go beat the big players? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: It's kind of like not groups, but honestly for the most part most of the guys are cool. I'm really good friends, obviously because Felix is from Canada, we grew up together, he's like a brother to me. Frances is a really good friend of mine. Most of the Americans, we're really close. I think Alex is a really cool guy. We really get along. When we were juniors, we played a lot of doubles together. It's really great to see him. I don't think I'm as close with Alex now. But, yeah, guys like Frances, Felix, we're definitely always rooting for each other. Especially Frances, so great to see him doing so well in this tournament. I spent a lot of time practicing, hanging out with him. He's genuinely such a great guy. Really great to see him kind of make that breakthrough. I always have known he's had the potential, the game. He's had a lot of bad luck, tough draws. Great to see him going deep in this event. I'm sure he can go even further. Yeah, definitely the group is so wide, it's a lot of young, young talented players. It's great to see. Definitely on one side we're all friendly, but on the other side we're all trying to do better than each other. It definitely pushes one another. Having Alex do well last week is definitely motivating other guys to really want to show themselves this week as well. It's kind of like catching up, all of us. That's why I feel like there's so many young guys doing so well at the same time. We're all kind of thriving off each other's success. 问题三：在赛後他对你这位年轻球员很有兴趣，在这群年轻人中，你们是否亲近，并鼓励 支持彼此呢？你有收到像是「去吧，击败这麽顶尖的球员」之类的简讯吗？ 沙弟：我觉得也不算个团体，大多数人都很酷。我真的好友像是FAA，跟我一样来自加拿 大，我们一同长大，他就像我的兄弟。Frances也是我的好友，我大部分和美国人比较亲近 。我认为Alex是个很酷的人，我们处的不错，我们还是青少年的时一起打了很多双打比赛 ，很高兴能见到他。 但我不认为我现在与Alex很亲密，但是像Frances和FAA我们肯定是互相支持彼此的。 尤其是Frances，很高兴看到他在这次大满贯中表现的如此出色，我花了很多时间在练习， 和他一起出去晃晃，他是个很棒的人，真的非常开心能见到他有所突破。 我一直都知道他很有潜力，但他有时运气不太好，签运不佳，非常高兴能看到他在这次澳 网走这麽远，我相信他可以走更远。 年轻球员的群体很广阔的，有很多年轻且有天分的球员，这是喜闻乐见的事。 我们对彼此都挺友好的，但另一方面我们也尝试要打的比对方更好，这肯定是良性竞争， Alex上周表现得不错，也肯定会激励其他人在这周努力展现自己。 这有点像我们彼此互相追赶对方的成就，这就是为何我觉得如果有年轻球员在同时都打出 好的成绩，我们都会为彼此的成功而成长茁壮。 Q. It's obviously physically tough playing someone like Novak. Is it emotionally draining, as well, the intensity? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: It is. He's definitely a guy that he doesn't give you much. He doesn't give you anything, to be honest. You have to be there the whole match, every point. If you have any dips, he's going to take advantage of it. That's why he's so good, No. 1 in the world. I felt that a little bit. Definitely mentally a little bit tired right now. Kind of want to take a nap. Like I said, I think the first two sets kind of took a lot out of me just because every shot I'm just that five per cent extra tight, running a little bit, heavier, tighter. At the end it just kind of gets to you. For him, it's just another match, it's just another day. For a guy like me, it's something you dream of doing, you really look forward to. Obviously when you get there, it's a lot of, like, nervous energy, you know? I'm happy in the third set I was able to calm my nerves, start serving a lot better, just playing my game. Obviously you guys saw in the fourth set with his good start, my little lack of energy, he really took advantage of it. 问题四：和Novak这样的顶尖球员对战一定很艰难，情绪上是否感到有很强烈的消耗？ 沙弟：没错，他绝对是不会给你太多机会的球员，他不会给你任何机会。 你必须整个比赛、每一分都要把握，如果你状况下滑，他一定会利用这时打击你。 这就是为何他如此的优秀，世界排名第一。 我觉得我现在有点累，心理上的，想小憩一下。 就像我说的，我认为前两盘消耗了我许多东西，就像是每次的攻击都多了额外5%的紧绷 感。对他而言，这只是某一场比赛，只是某一天，但对於我这样的人来说，这是梦寐以 求的事，会让人很期待。 当你处在这样的环境时，你会超紧张的你懂吗？ 我很高兴我第三盘能冷静下来，发球状况比较好，认真的打我的比赛，显然你们也可以 看到他第四盘开局非常好，而我却缺乏能量，他也很妥善的利用了我的低潮。 Q. Always seems when you play a guy like that, trying to find the balance between aggression, then also being consistent is kind of the hardest thing. Is this what you feel? Do you only learn that by playing those guys? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: Definitely. It's definitely a different match-up. I've noticed most of the guys now when I'm playing, I'm higher ranked, they're going for me, going for their shots, being aggressive, trying to hit winners on you. Today playing Novak, it's kind of the opposite. He's really baiting me to go for those crazy shots. Now I'm on that side where I'm trying to go for the crazy shots, make winners, stuff like this. Honestly, he's such a smart player because he always does this. He's moving you around, draining you, draining the opponent. I think that comes with experience, his knowledge of the game. He knows he doesn't have to go for outright winners if he doesn't need to. That's why he is where he is. Definitely I felt like there were moments in the match where, yeah, I was going for too much, missing a little bit. Some of it of course is bad luck. It's tennis. There's some balls I missed by this much, some where he made it by this much. But that's the sport. I felt like once I kind of let myself go in the third set, that's where I was able to just kind of stay in the rallies more, enjoy myself, play good points, play good tennis. I found that range between, yeah, just moving him, playing the point, and being aggressive when I needed to. 问题五：看起来当你和这样的球员竞赛时，你试图找到进攻平衡，然後保持一致是最难的 事，这是你的感受吗？你只是透过和这些人竞赛来学习吗？ 沙弟：当然。这绝对是场很棒的比赛，我已经注意到现在和我交手的球员，我排名较高， 他们需要打得很有侵略性，试图击败你。 今天的Novak正好情况相反，他使我打得更狂野，拼出致胜球，像是这类的事。 他是一个聪明的球员，因为他总是这样做，他让你跑动，让你筋疲力尽，我认为这源於他 对比赛的经验，他了解一场比赛他需要怎麽做，这就是他为何优秀的原因。 比赛中我有片刻感到我太激动了，有点迷失。当然还有点点运气不好，不过这就是网球。 有些球是我自己没把握住，而大多是他让我错过的，但这就是这项运动的精髓。 第三盘我更能享受自己，发挥优势，打好网球，我发现只要我让他跑动，认真打每球，我 也可以让自己很有侵略性。 Q. You've watched him play, watched other people play. What was the physical challenge of trying to compete with the way he wears his opponents down compared to what you thought it might be? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: Honestly, it's pretty much everything I expected. Once you grow up watching a guy for so long, you've seen him play so many matches, I felt like I actually kind of knew his game so well just from watching him play so much. I felt like I was reading him pretty good when he was hitting his forehands, where he was going with the ball. I had a pretty good idea with the game. I think it was a little bit, like I said, with me today, I wasn't able to really show my game in the first two sets. I was there, I was kind of in and out. Some games were great, then some games I was tight, shanking, not there. Like I said, with the third set, that's when I finally started to kind of let loose. I found my serve starting to go again. I was able to really show my A game. But with the first two sets being that tight, just that a little bit nervous, it just drained me in the end. 问题六：你看过他和其他人打球，与你想像中的相比，你觉得和他竞争的挑战是什麽？ 沙弟：这是我所期待的事，在成长过程中看他打了这麽多比赛，我觉得我了解他的比赛， 当他使用正拍时，我能很好的了解他的球会往哪去。 我无法在前两盘中展现我的状态，好像我人在那里但我魂不在那里，表现的时好时坏。 第三盘，是我终於开始放松的时候，我的发球回来了，我能表现好，但前两盘是紧张的， 他不断消磨着我。 Q. What is your team going to look like for the foreseeable future? Who are the people traveling with you besides Rob? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: Right now that's it. I got obviously my mom with me, always helping out, always coaching, giving an inside look. Clement Golliet, my fitness trainer has been working with me for five, six years now since I was a junior. Stefano, my physio, who I've been working with for a year and a half now, over a year. Definitely Rob. He's a new addition to the team from last year. I think we've been doing some really good work together. He's definitely going to be around with me right now. That's it right now. 问题七：在可预见的未来，你的团队会有什麽样貌呢？除了Rob外，和你一起旅行的有谁？ 沙弟：就是现在这样。 我总是有妈妈的陪伴，她总是帮忙我、也是我的教练之一，让我了解我的内在。 Clement Golliet是我的健身教练，他从我还是青少年球员就和我一起工作了快五、六年； Stefano是我的物理治疗师，我和他一起工作一年多了；Rob他是去年团队的新成员，我想 我们一直持续做一些很棒的工作，他也会和我在一起，就这样。 Q. Did you sense at a point towards the end of the third set the crowd were really pulling for you? Putting it another way: the crowd were turning against Novak? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: Yeah, definitely. I mean, you feel it. Honestly, it was an amazing atmosphere. It was great to have so many supporters. Yeah, especially like you said, late in the third set, they were really rooting for me, helped me pull that set out I feel. Yeah, it was so much fun to play on such a big court with such an amazing crowd. Like I said, it was a dream come true for me. It was so much fun. Honestly, I'm a little sorry for them that I did run out of fuel a little bit in the fourth set. It's a big thanks to them. They really helped me in the third. Like I said, they helped me pull that set out. 问题八：你是否有感觉到第三盘末所有观众都在帮你助威？换句话说，大家在促使你对抗 Novak。 沙弟：是的，当然，我的意思是说，这是一个让人惊叹的氛围。拥有这麽多支持者真的很 棒，特别是像你说的，在第三盘末，他们真的鼓舞了我，让我能拿下第三盘。 在一个可以容纳这麽多观众的大球场比赛真的很有趣，对我来说是梦想成真，很好玩。 老实说我对观众感到有点抱歉，我在第四盘时有点能量耗尽，但我真的很感谢观众们的支 持，他们在第三盘真正帮助了我。 Q. Do you think that was because you were a big underdog or any other reasons? DENIS SHAPOVALOV: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. 问题九：你觉得这有可能是因为你是比赛中不被看好的一方或其他原因所导致的吗？ 沙弟：呃，我不知道，我不确定。 ====================================================================== 这次的赛後访问就逐字翻译到这里了，希望下次可以多翻几篇赛访XD。 由於我从小到大就不是文组的，英文可能有些翻的不是那麽到位或流畅，如果有错误希望 能跟我反应，或是有热心版友想发也可以跟我说，一篇逐字赛访我可以给1000p（请原谅 版主有点贫困哈哈哈）。 很开心看到沙弟这次有进步外，输球还是一样很正向得体，忧忧跟乐乐是并存的，所以我 希望他能到我怀里哭（哈哈哈哈）。不是!!! 我希望他能健康打球，并且快乐的享受每一刻，不管是场上或场外。 --
