前面推文有人在問說，IW決賽賽後Rafa跑去握手的黑衣草帽男是誰: 推: Rafa奪冠後跑去跟一位黑衣草帽男握手，那是誰啊？謝謝~ 03/18 13:22 推: 記得那是這個比賽的owner 03/18 13:22 推: Larry Ellison, 甲骨文的CEO 03/18 14:42 推: 這次的比賽他幾乎都有來看 新球場的開土儀式他也有參加 03/19 00:25 本來我也不知道他是Larry Ellison，後來聽主播講才知道XD 主播還說「他是Nadal的好朋友」?! 於是好奇地上網搜尋了一下， 結果發現好多有趣的料~~ 沒想到他竟然是個大豆迷XD 把我搜到的PO上來好了: ---- 先簡單介紹Larry Ellison: Larry Ellison，猶太人，1944年8月17日出生於美國紐約布朗克斯， 甲骨文公司（Oracle）的創始人和CEO。 根據2013年3月份福布斯雜誌最新的統計 http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/ 他的個人淨資產為430億美金，居世界第5位。 ---- 2009年，Larry Ellison花了1億美金，買下印地安泉大師賽的權益， 以及印地安泉網球花園。 跟女友的一些看球照: http://tinyurl.com/clncuky http://tinyurl.com/bvhxzse http://tinyurl.com/c7n2ct2 ---- 2010年洛杉磯時報對Larry Ellison的專訪 http://ppt.cc/KNEl : 他一周打五天網球，大多是在紅土球場(他家院子有一座紅土球場)。 他的球友是Tommy Haas和John McEnroe。 自稱為Rafael Nadal的迷弟 XDDD 好老的迷弟! (Ellison, who calls himself a Rafael Nadal "fan boy," .....) Larry Ellison談到了2009年澳網決賽，說Rafa心地善良，贏了Roger卻難過不已， 眼中泛淚。還說想把Rafa抱走當自己兒子養~~ 「Rafa was so upset Roger had lost,」Ellison said. 「Rafa was really upset, he was almost in tears. As fierce as he is on the court, and no one fights harder than Rafa, he is even a nicer person.」 「Rafa is the kid you want to adopt. Roger seems like a man. Rafa is a big kid.」 ---- 2010年TENNIS Magazine的專訪 http://tinyurl.com/blavl7z : Larry Ellison說Rafa一直是他的最愛: 「I could get myself in trouble with Roger [Federer] here, but I suppose my favorite tennis player of all time is Rafa [Nadal].」 球迷眼裡出西施? 「I don't think Rafa's a better tennis player than Roger, but I don't think that a greater athlete than Rafa has ever played tennis.」 稱讚Rafa運動能力卓越，能轉身270度反手扣殺，常人做不到這點， 也許Rafa已進入小貓咪的領域!?~~ 「That agility in the semifinal against Murray at Wimbledon, remember that spinning, 270-degree backhand overhead that he hit, you remember that, don't you? My cat can do that, but a human being can't do it. What the hell?」 ---- 2012年7月紐約時報的訪問 http://tinyurl.com/d7b2gv7 : 2012年印地安泉大師賽期間，Larry Ellison有私下約Rafa去他家打球: ....During this year's tournament in Indian Wells, Rafael Nadal stayed at Ellison's "place". 「I hit with him for an hour and a half the other day.」Ellison told The New York Times this year. 終極上旋球有多難接? Larry Ellison的親身體驗~~ 「The ball, when it hits the ground, people think it just kicks up high to Roger Federer's backhand. That's kind of not the problem. The problem is it kicks away from you sometimes, kicks towards you sometimes. It's really a difficult shot. He puts just massive amounts of spin, and he can obviously go very big. He's the best athlete to ever play tennis.」 ---- 這次IW比賽期間，Rafa照例有跟Larry Ellison敘舊約打球~ Rafa 3月11日的 Facebook: http://fb.me/2kNpI393E 「Today I played against a great friend. Thanks Larry, whenever you want we'll play again.」(附超遠練球照一張\/) 3/11的賽訪: Q: I saw on social media you were maybe having a hit with Larry Ellison. I just want to know your thoughts on him and his contribution to the sport and this tournament. 問: 我看到你跟Larry Ellison一起打球了，談談他對這項運動與賽事的貢獻吧 RN: Yeah, is great, no? I played with him last year.

RN: He knows more tennis I think than me. (Smiling.) No, yeah, we talked a lot about tennis, about many things. Both of us, we have a passion for the water, no, and we were able to talk for a while and to practice and we have new relationship. I really enjoy and say thank you very much to him personally from me what he did for his hospitality, for everything. Great. Every time that I am coming back here, have somebody like him here is great.
