http://tinyurl.com/3985ce Marin Cilic 19.01.08 Saturday, 19 January, 2008 Q. Are we seeing the new Mario Ancic of the game? MARIN CILIC: I don't know if it's new. I have my own game, so I don't know. It's good to compare me with Mario, because I am -- has a good game for his height. So I think I should develop more as he is playing. So I'm going to try to play more aggressively and try more to come into the net. 記者免不了拿他和Ancic比較,他說他有自己的比賽方式,不曉得有沒有類似,不過能和Ancic 相比很棒,能跟Ancic之前一樣有出色表現,他會打得更具侵略性些,多試著上網壓迫. Q. How does it feel to be in the fourth round of a major? MARIN CILIC: I feel it's normal. I mean, of course, feels -- it feels great. I mean, I played three very good matches. I'm in good form. My physical shape is quite good, and today was probably the best, the best match so far in my career. 對於打進大滿貫第四輪的感覺,他覺得跟平常一樣,感覺當然很好,因為打了三場好比賽, 近況不錯,體能狀態也很好,今天這場比賽感覺是最好的. Q. Must be giving you confidence to make this kind of a run. MARIN CILIC: I was doing quite a good preparation for before the season, and I played in Chennai very good, then also in Auckland. I lost to Kohlschreiber in three sets where he played quite a good match, and then I came here. I mean, I started very good with the first round. Second round was a little bit tougher, but today was good for my that we played with the roof closed, so it was -- it was easier to play. It was better for me. I could take control of the point and I wasn't letting him to develop his game. 他在賽季前做了好的準備工作,前兩週在Chennai和奧克蘭都打得還不錯,奧克蘭三盤輸給 Kohlschreiber,而到了澳網,開局不錯,第二輪有點辛苦,但是今天很好,球場屋頂關上幫了 他不少,讓他更容易去控制比賽的節奏. Q. Were you encouraged at all as a youngster to be a basketball playert going to? MARIN CILIC: When you're seven years old you're not tall as now, so I started to play tennis and was good. So, I mean... Q. So you weren't tall at seven? You were small? MARIN CILIC: Yeah, of course. (laughter) 果然被問了身高,記者還問他說小時候是不是曾被鼓勵去打籃球 Q. Croatia has won the Davis Cup final in Bratislava three years ago, did that make special encouragement for you to step up, be a better player? MARIN CILIC: I don't know. I wasn't on the team, so I don't know. Of course it helped all nation because more finances were coming into the federation, and, of course, for younger players, so that -- that thing helped a lot. 克羅埃西亞贏得台維斯盃是否給了他鼓舞? 他說當時他不是其中的成員,所以不曉得. 不過的確使得網協獲得多一些經濟上的幫助, 培養更多年輕選手. Q. But you never played basketball then? MARIN CILIC: No. (laughter) Q. But you didn't, seriously? MARIN CILIC: No. 記者繼續追問有沒有打過籃球,他笑著說沒有. Q. What about Blake? You played him a year and a half ago or so. MARIN CILIC: Yeah, I played him in Bangkok. Of course, I mean, he's good athlete, playing quite good on the hard courts, and I think I should play maybe a little similar as today: Try to serve good and try to move the game to his backhand, because forehand is obviously much better shot. Q. You're expecting a much better match than in Bangkok? MARIN CILIC: Well, Bangkok was different. I was quite young there and unexperienced. Here I am -- here, this is Grand Slam. I already played three great matches, and you're playing best of five, so if you start bad, you can always come back. 下輪對手Blake, 他們曾經在曼谷比賽過,那時他輸球, 他說下一場必須得跟今天一樣,有好的發球,多攻擊對手反拍,還有因為這是大滿貫打五盤, 和曼谷比賽不同,如果一開始打得不好,還是有機會可以挽回頹勢的.所以他期待下一場表現 得比第一次遭遇時更好. --
