This was definitely one of the toughest wins of my career. 在比賽之後你和Fernando說了些什麼呢？這場比賽是不是你在生涯中所拿下的艱難的場 次之一呢？ Rafa: 我們只是談了些關於比賽的事情，像是他在這個賽事的表現很棒，這場比賽是如 何的難以拿下，和我們都值得拿下勝利這些事。這的確是我職業生涯中最因難的 比賽之一。 Who is your favourite female tennis player? RN: Carla Suarez is playing great and she is young and with a huge potential. 在女子選手中，你最喜歡的是誰呢？ Rafa: 我覺得Carla Suarez打得滿好的，而且她很年輕，同時具有很大的潛力。 (她是誰呢？…要查查才行！) What is your favourite dessert, ice cream or lolly? Camilla, Sydney RN: Ice cream. Vanilla ice cream with cookies. 你喜歡什麼樣的點心呢？冰淇淋 還是 棒棒糖呢？ Rafa: 冰淇淋！特別是香草冰淇淋搭配餅乾。 (我和Rafa一樣呢！好開心！^^) I really love how you move on the court, almost as if you are dancing. Have you ever tried dancing? Reyes, Alicante. RN: No, never. I mean, yes, I dance when I go out with my friends but that's it . 我很愛看你在場上移動的樣子，就好像你在跳舞一樣。你曾經跳過舞嗎？ Rafa: 從來沒有過。我的意思是在我和朋友們出去時我會跳一下，不過儘止於此。 (Rafa應該會跳一點小舞喔！哪像我舞蹈笨蛋…XDD) Do you hear the click of the photographers who are on court when you're playing ? RN: Yes, a lot. We are used to it. 在場上比賽時，你有聽到照相機的喀嚓聲嗎？ Rafa: 常常會。我們必需習慣它。 Serving aces is a big part of being a top tennis player, is this something that you are targeting in your play to take some of the strain out of matches? Nicholas Boyle, London RN: I try to serve better always. At least in a smart way. That doesn't mean harder, if you know what I mean. 要成為頂尖選手，能夠打出aces球是很重要的要素之一。為了在比賽中增加些緊張感， 你是不是把在比賽中打出許多aces球列為你的目標呢？ Rafa: 我總是嘗試著把球發好。至少，以比較有智慧的方法發球。這不代表要做到很困 難，希望你明白我要表達的意思。 When you are playing at a tournament, how much do you follow the results of other matches?
