Saturday, January 24, 2009 Rafa: resting up and hoping that I'm still around for the weekend Hi everyone, Easy day today with practice and a lot of resting. In these kind of days I practice early and nowadays try to get to the hotel earlier. In the past I would hang around the tennis tournament and speak to a lot of people, watch some matches on TV in the locker room or the players' lounge or things like this. 今天過得很輕鬆，除了練球外，還得到很多休息時間。在非比賽天時我都很早就進行 練球時間，最近也試著早一點回到休息的飯店。之前，我都會在比賽球場邊閒晃，順 便和人聊天，或者是在更衣間和選手休息室看電視上的網球比賽。 Nowadays I am trying to get earlier to my hotel so that I can have some rest. We got early today back to the hotel and managed to watch some matches on TV. I saw the Djokovic v Delic match or at least most part of it. I also saw some parts of del Potro vs Muller. Tough matches both and that gives you the level of difficulty of a tournament like this. NO easy rounds. 這幾天為了得到更多的休息，我都滿早就回去飯店。今天我們也很早就回到飯店，設法看 一些比賽的轉播。我有看到Djokovic v Delic 的大部份比賽情形。我也有看到一些del Potro和Muller的比賽。兩場都是很有挑戰性的比賽，像這樣的比賽確實呈現了贏得任一 場比賽的困難度。每一場比賽都是難以取勝的！ Also on these days that I have more free time I work with the media and attend some of them for interviews. Sometimes I prefer to do this work after matches and sometimes, depending on the tournament I do it during my free day. They are usually long so it varies on how I feel. 同樣的在這幾天，我有比較多的時間參與記者的訪談。有時候，我比較喜歡在比賽結束後 才接受訪問，而有時，則是配合賽事的進行，在我的非比賽天訪問。通常訪問的時間都滿 久的，所以我的感覺也就跟著改變。 What else can I tell you about today? I am really running today out of ideas... I suppose that with the questions and answers is OK for today... Sorry. Anyway tomorrow I have an important match against a player who's been around for a while now [Tommy Haas]. He is playing great and I know it won't be an easy match. Let's hope I am writing this blog Sunday night... it would mean I am still in. 關於今天，我還有什麼其他的可以和你們分享呢？今天我真的是想破頭要寫什麼…我先 假定今天所有的提問和回答狀態是OK的。總之，明天我有一場和網球好手Tomm Haas的重 要比賽。他真的狀態很好，而且我知道明天的比賽是有一定難度的挑戰。讓我們先來祈 禱星期天晚上我還可以繼續寫部落格。這就表示我仍然在賽事中為比賽努力。 Many thanks to all for your support. Rafa -- 為有點努力的自己加油、打氣！ --
