2019 US Open Interview: Denis Shapovalov https://pse.is/L3D36 Denis Shapovalov has enjoyed plenty of firsts in New York, including his first junior Grand Slam title in 2015 and first Grand Slam main-draw win in 2017. He’s looking to add to that this year by reaching the second week of a major for the first time. Shapovalov will play his first-round match against fellow Canadian and No. 18 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, whom he teamed up with in 2015 to win the US Open boys’ doubles title. It’s a rematch of their opening-round clash last year, which saw Shapovalov prevail after Auger-Aliassime was forced to retire in the third set due to a reoccurring heart problem. USOpen.org: Even as a junior, your results have been outstanding at the US Open. What about the tournament suits you so well? Denis Shapovalov: The vibe of New York City is what gets me going. The fans are so rowdy and so loud, which always makes it so much fun to be out there. Out of all the Grand Slams, the US Open is special for me because it’s the closest one to Canada. It’s the one I always wanted to go play and see what it’s all about. It’s absolutely unbelievable as a sporting event, so I’m really looking forward to getting going. 沙弟在纽约体验到很多的第一次，包括2015年第一个青少年大满贯冠军，及2017年第一次 在大满贯赛事的胜利，他期望能第一次延长待在纽约的时间，冲击美网第二周的赛事。 沙弟将在第一轮面对加拿大同胞、18种子FAA，他们曾在2015年青少年双打中拿到冠军。 去年美网也是第一轮碰头，FAA由於心脏问题被迫在第三盘退赛。 US OPEN : 即使还是个新鲜人，你在美网的表现满出色的，为什麽你能在美网赛事中适应 的这麽好呢？ SHAPO : 纽约市的氛围激励了我。球迷很吵闹、声音很大，能让你感到很有乐趣。 　　　　美网对我而言很特别，美网是离加拿大最近的大满贯赛事。总是让我很有参与感 ，玩玩这个、看看那个，美网是令人难以置信的赛事，所以我很期待开赛。 USOpen.org: Are there any matches you remember watching as a kid that really stood out for you? Denis Shapovalov: The one that really stood out for me was when Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic [in the 2012 US Open final]. Juan Martin del Potro beating Roger Federer [in the 2009 US Open final] is another one, but there have been so many. USOpen.org: What about your own matches? Denis Shapovalov: Winning the boys’ doubles event with Felix was my first Grand Slam title of any kind. I feel like I’ve been able to play exceptionally well any time I go to the site. The second-round match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga [in 2017] was one of the cleanest matches I’ve ever played in my career. It’s tough to perform that well every time, but hopefully I can bring some of that magic back. US OPEN : 你还记得哪一场比赛让你印象深刻吗？ SHAPO : 应该是2012年Murray击败Djokovic，另一个应该是2009年JMDP击败Roger，还有 很多好比赛的。 US OPEN : 那你的比赛呢？ SHAPO : 和FAA一起赢的美网青少年双打是我第一个大满贯冠军，我觉得美网总是能让我 表现好。在2017年第二轮对上Tsonga应该是我职业生涯中最乾净的比赛之一，很难在每次 比赛中都维持好表现，但我希望能找回一些神奇能量。 USOpen.org: What are some of the things you enjoy seeing or doing off the court? Denis Shapovalov: There are so many great spots in New York, and anywhere you go is unbelievable. I try to walk around Central Park and Times Square every year, just embrace the New York atmosphere. We try to eat before matches at the Whole Foods in Central Park. I love how everything’s so rowdy and happening so quickly. It fits my personality really well. USOpen.org: How would you assess your form heading into your first round? Denis Shapovalov: I’m feeling really excited. I’ve had solid runs there before and when you have good feelings at a tournament, it always sticks with you when you come back. I’ve been playing a lot better lately, so I feel mentally fresh and ready to go. US OPEN : 你在球场外喜欢看到或做些什麽事呢？ SHAPO : 纽约有很多很棒且令人难以置信的景点，我每年都会去中央公园和时代广场晃晃 ，单纯感受纽约的气氛。比赛前我们会在中央公园的Whole Foods吃东西，我喜欢这麽吵 闹的氛围，一切都发生得如此得快，很适合我的个性。 ※Whole Foods: 美国大型超市。 US OPEN : 你如何评估你即将到来的第一轮赛事呢？ SHAPO : 我很兴奋，我之前有稳定比赛的经验，当在赛事中有良好的感受时，这些好的感 受就会回来、陪伴着你。我最近打得好多了，所以我感到脱胎换骨、准备好了。 --------------------------------------------------------------- 找不到赛後Interview，翻一篇8/25的。 加油～ --
