Monday, January 19, 2009 Rafa: There are no easy matches at the Australian Open Hi everyone! 嗨~大家好! Well, this is my second blog from Melbourne and it is coming in late. 嗯，這是我在墨爾本的第二個blog，來得有點晚。 The reason for this is that I went out for dinner quite late and after we had a walk around the place we are staying and here I am writing this blog pretty late. 原因是我今天很晚出門吃晚餐，之後又在附近散步，所以我才會這麼晚寫blog。 I can do this since tomorrow I am playing quite late at night. I can actually go to bed later than usually, and as a Spaniard I normally go to bed quite late. Today we were really late since we came down for dinner at 10.15 pm. We initially had the appointment at 9.15... 我明天也會這樣，因為我很晚才比賽。我比平常晚上床睡覺，以西班牙人來說真的是 很晚了。今天我們到十點十五才吃完晚餐，因為我們約在九點十五... (譯os:會不會太晚了= =) Tomorrow I finally start. I say finally since when you arrive at a city, at a tournament the first thing you are aiming to is to start, to get the competition going and tomorrow it is the first round. I always say I have respect for all my opponents. I really mean it. Look at all the "weird" first round loses... 明天我終於要上場了。我說終於是因為當你到達一個城市、一項賽事，第一目標就是 開始比賽，明天就是第一輪了。我總是說我很尊敬所所有的對手，我真的是這樣覺得。看看 那些第一輪的冷門吧... Well, tennis is a very difficult sport and the depth of man's game is big, anything can happen on any round. This whole thing is difficult and there are big matches from day one. My friends Feli Lopez and Carlos Moya, with whom I had dinner tonight, lost their first round matches. That's one more example of how difficult things are. Feli was really playing great at the end of last year and on this kind of surface he is a very dangerous player. And Moya I know he is a big player here, they like him a lot, I see it. 嗯，網球是很困難的運動，尤其是男子選手的比賽，不論是哪一輪，什麼事都可能發生 。所有事都很困難，第一天有很多重要比賽。我朋友Feli和Moya大叔，就是和我今天一起 吃飯的人，在第一輪輸了。這就是例子。Feli去年底打得很好，在這種場地(硬地)上他一 直是個危險的選手。還有Moya，我知道他在這裡是很重要的選手，他們(觀眾)很愛他，我 看到了。 When I was a kid Moya reached the finals here in Australia. That was big back home, really big and the so called MoyaMania started here. He is still a competitive player, I practiced on Sunday with him and he really played great. Well, he lost today and that gives you an idea of how strong and good everyone is here. I never thought he could lose today with all my respects to his opponent. 當我還是小正太的時候，Moya在這裡打進了決賽。這在家鄉(西班牙)是一件大事自此之 後所謂的"Moya狂熱"就在這裡(澳網)開始了。他仍然是一個很有競爭力的選手，當我在週日 和他一起練習的時候他真的打得很不錯。嗯，但他今天輸了，這能讓你對這裡每個選手有 多出色和強壯有點概念。我從來沒想過他會在今天就出局，但我也很尊敬他的對手。 But as I say I am finally starting tomorrow. I always say it is good to get started and I am actually the last of the draw to play the first round match. Nothing is easy and this is no exception. I am confident since I have been practicing well and I am always positive. But still it is the first round and I have always a lot of respect for my opponent. 但就像我說的，我明天終於要上場了。我一直說開始(比賽)是很棒的，事實上我是籤 表中第一輪最後上場的。沒有什麼是很簡單的，這也不例外。我很有信心，因為我練習狀 況不錯而且積極。但這仍然是第一輪，我還是很尊敬我的對手。 Hopefully it will go well and I will with all of you tomorrow. Many thanks. 希望比賽順利，我會和你們大家在一起的。謝謝大家。 (>///<) Rafa -- ╭──────╥────────────────╥────────────╮ │██████║ ┌╮ ─╮ ╭ ─╮ ╭╮ ╭ ╭╮ ─╮ ╭ ─╮ ╭ │ │█Ψ████║ ╞╯ ╭┤ ┼ ╭┤ ├╯ │ Ψ ││ ╭┤ ╭┤ ╭┤ │ │ │██████║ ┘╰ ╰└ ┘ ╰└ ╰┘ ┘ ┘┘ ╰└ ╰└ ╰└ ┘ │ └────────────────────────────────────┘ --
