สัมภาษณ์ราฟาค่ะ R. NADAL/M. Daniel 7‑5, 6‑4, 6‑3 An interview with: RAFAELNADAL THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. This question is not about the game. It's about your dress. You are inpink today. Why you are in pink today? RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. Yeah, same like always, why I was white and yellow two weeks ago. Because it's better than dress the same colorevery week, no?
Q. The start of the game was a bit difficult today. Any reason? RAFAEL NADAL: No, always tough, you know, beginninghere. Roland Garros always isdifficult. Yeah. I say, no, I expect a tough match, and it'snormal, now. And when I start, normallyI didn't start to play my best here the last four years. But the important thing is be with positivementality and try to win, no? And Iwin. I won in three sets. That's important.
I played in somemoments in the third a little bit better, so just try to keep improving to playbetter in this match.
Q. Is there a chance that in the third round you could come up againstLleyton Hewitt. You've played each othereight times before, and you've won four each. What do you make of him as a player? RAFAEL NADAL: What?
Q. Lleyton Hewitt. You could facehim in the third round. RAFAEL NADAL: I understood. Only the last.
Q. (Through translation.) RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I'm sureLleyton is a great champion in this sport. He has very good career. Soalways is a pleasure to play against him, but right now we are in second round,yeah? Not yet. I have to wait.
Q. Do you feel that the heat change, the condition if compared to last yearmaybe or two years ago where it was pretty cool here, the condition of play? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, much better, no? I prefer to play with these conditions thanraining or cold, no?
So it's much better forus, I think.
Q. Do you feel more confident or less confident than last year when youstarted Roland Garros? RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. I don't know. Important feelingis ‑‑
Q. There is no difference? RAFAEL NADAL: Every year is different, no? But I never compare, two years, so ‑‑ Idon't know.
THE MODERATOR: Spanish questions. Q. Yesterdayyou were telling us you're a bit nervous, anxious. Was it the way you felt today when you walkedon the court? RAFAEL NADAL: No, not really. Maybe at the beginning to start with. The court is big, and at the beginning, Ididn't quite get the best feelings, but I won in three sets. That's very positive. I should have won more easily, but at 5‑4,when I had to serve, then I had to serve again ‑‑ sometimes I missed someopportunities to win the set earlier, but it was a difficult match.
I had practiced wellbefore, but I know that I can improve, and I hope I'm going to continueimproving for my next match.
Q. My question is not about your game but about Fabrice Santoro. He's playing his 20th tournament here. What do you think about him, about his careeron the tour? RAFAEL NADAL: Well, he is a legend on the tour. He plays with his very own personalstyle. Two hands. He was a very charismatic player on the tour,and he's a model for all of us. 20years, long career. That'sfantastic. We all wish we can play for20 years.
So he had a beautifulcareer, and he really deserves a tribute.
Q. What can you tell us about the way Marcos Daniel plays after your game? RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I don't know. His backhand is better than his forehand, butI think I made it a bit easy for him. That's my opinion.
Q. How fit are you as compared to the previous years? RAFAEL NADAL: Oh, comparing again. Well, physically, I feel ‑‑ well, Idon't want to compare with last year, because I can't remember. That was a year ago, you know.
But I feel good, andlast year, I played a match ‑‑ well, I didn't play well, really, andlittle by little I felt better. Thisyear ‑‑ well, it's not a very good start. I'm not going to say it's positive. I would have preferred to start with a very positive start, but I hopethis tournament is going to be long enough for me to give me time to adapt andto improve and get good feelings all along the tournament.
Q. About the fact you didn't play that well, are there any compartments inthe game where you felt you were not at your best? RAFAEL NADAL: Well, my leg game was not that good. I didn't play well with my legs. But, you know, in sports it's ‑‑ in atenth of a second you have to catch the ball and everything can change in agame. You need to be present there, ontime. If you play well, you have thefeeling you'll be on top of the next ball, but today I was a bit short in myshots. I was not very precise. It wasn't neat and clear during this match,so this is what I need to improve.
I need to playmore ‑‑ I need my shots to be longer, and I do need to improve on that.
Q. You played at the hottest hour of the day. Now, for the upcoming matches, what would youprefer? Would you prefer to play at adifferent hour because of the heat? Isit affecting you? RAFAELNADAL: No, I have no problem withthat. I can play at any hour, and thisis perfectly bearable temperature.
Daniel พูดถึงราฟาค่ะ : "The guy who hasn't got a good backhand can forget it, ciao,"
"I also like a big court.. when I'm playing against poor ordinary mortals,"
"It's not that you feel the pressure, it is that Nadal hits balls at you that nobody does,"
"Everything about Nadal's game is good. The guy that wants to beat him has to have a good backhand and try to open up wide angles but... Who manages that? Many people can do him harm on hard courts, but here.... ".
"It's really a shame after doing all that, traveling the long road I did, not to finish off the four Grand Slams," Federer said. "I unfortunately did not play the match that I had hoped to play," Federer said. "I made too many errors, and especially after I won the first set so easily. Usually, I don't let an opportunity like that escape."
ส่วนอาโทนี่ก็ห่วงหลานชายมาก บอกไว้อย่างนี้ "It really seemed for a while to me that he would never be able to get back to this level," Toni Nadal said. "It made it harder for him to run, put the pressure in different places. I was concerned it might make him more vulnerable. But, for the moment, obviously, it's not a problem."
แต่ตัวราฟาเองหละรู้สึกยังไง ..ราฟาต้องเก็บ FO06 ไว้ในความทรงจำไม่รู้ลืมอย่างแน่นอนเพราะมันเหมือนการคืนชีพ และประกาศก้องให้โลกรู้ว่าเจ้าชายคอร์ดดินคนนี้พร้อมสำหรับการเป็นราชาคอร์ดดินแล้ว "I really didn't think there was any chance in the world that I'd be back in the final at Roland Garros," he said.
"Each year is different; the feeling is different," Nadal said. "But this year, to beat the No. 1 player and doing it after the injury I had, I'd say the emotions were a bit more powerful."
"Five titles is pretty amazing at any Grand Slam, for anybody, never mind how old they are," Lendl said recently, laughing at the thought. "Five in a row? That's phenomenal. He is the prohibitive favorite. Things being normal, I think he wins again."
คนถัดมาคือ Jose Higueras ซึ่งเป็นคนเชี่ยวชาญคอร์ดดินเป็นพิเศษและก็เป็นโค้ชให้เฟดเมื่อปีที่แล้วแต่ไม่ประสบความสำเร็จ "I think it is hard to appreciate [what Nadal has done], Talking to tennis people, the toughest Grand Slam to win is the French because of the physicality and how it works on the mind. What Rafa has done is unbelievable. He is, with Borg, the best clay-court player I have seen in my career."
คนต่อมา Paul Annacone ซึ่งเป็นหัวหน้าโค้ชของสมาคมเทนนิสอังกฤษ และเคยเป็นโค้ชให้พีท แซมพราสถึง 8 ปี "You can talk about team sports, but you have teammates, a default mode where you can get assistance. In tennis and golf, you are all alone. Tiger Woods and Rafa are at a whole different level. There's no question the fuel will be in the gas tank, that the resiliency won't wane." (อันนี้เห็นเหมือนหมูทองจริงๆนะ ในเรื่องสภาพจิตใจราฟากับไทเกอร์ นี่เป็นที่สุดของที่สุดแล้วสำหรับการ Die Hard และไม่เคยยอมแพ้ก่อนแม็ทช์จะจบลงจริงๆ) "I remember conversations I used to have with Pete, there's something about those guys in three-of-five matches. In an unbelievable, simplistic way, Pete just felt like he was better. There was no panic mode -- even down two sets. They're thinking, 'It doesn't matter how I'm playing, because eventually I'll find a way to win.' Pete, and now Rafa, they believe that. Rafa is all this relentless energy coming at you. You have to be thinking, 'When is this guy going to show any kind of negativity or a sense of adversity?'"
คนสุดท้าย เป็นอเมริกัน Tony Trabert ที่เมื่อ 54 ปีที่แล้วเค้าเป็นแชมป์ FO สองสมัยติดกัน "Five in a row, at 23 years old?" Trabert said from his home in Florida. "You have to salute him and say maybe he's the best clay-courter who ever played."
นักเทนนิสที่เก่งๆโดยเฉพาะที่เคยเป็นแชมป์ GS มาแล้วจะรู้ว่าแชมป์ FO เป็นแชมป์ที่ยากที่สุดการที่เอาแชมป์มาได้ก็เลือดตาแทบกระเด็น แต่การเป็นแชมป์ต่อเนื่องกัน 5 ปีเป็นเรื่องที่เหลือเชื่อ คงไม่มีใครตอบว่าราฟาจะทำเรื่อง Mission Impossible ในสายตาหลายๆคนได้หรือไม่ ราฟาก็คงต้องพิสูจน์ฝีมือให้ทุกคนรู้ว่า เค้าดีพอที่จะทำลายสถิติเก่าของบอร์ก แล้วเขียนตำนานบทใหม่ในประะวัติศาสต์เทนนิสด้วยการเป็นแชมป์ Roland Garros ติดต่อกัน 5 สมัยให้พวกเราดีใจว่าได้อยู่ร่วมสมัยกับ King of Clay ที่ไร้เทียมทาน . พวกเรามาเชียร์และให้กำลังใจราฟาทำเรื่องยากๆนี้สำเร็จด้วยกันนะจ๊ะ
ขอบคุณอีกครั้งค่ะพี่หมูทองราฟา, You'll never walk alone. พวกเราจะเดินไปพร้อม ๆ กัน เราจะเชียร์ราฟาและอยู่ข้าง ๆ ราฟาตลอดไป ( เน่าอ่ะ พูดมาได้ไง )
คุณ Moon@VB แปลจากข่าวที่บอกว่าราฟาเจ็บเข่าค่ะ From: L'Equipe - "Tout n'est pas si rose" - Tuesday, May 26, 2009
The reason for his mood that was less cheerful than usual was revealed afterwards by his uncle Toni: Rafa hurt his knee a bit before the match, the left one, not the same as in Madrid. This was confirmed by his doctor Angel Ruiz Cotorro: He had this little thing during training and, added by the stress in the second set, this was hurting him. This also explains certain anxious and unusual looks he gave his camp. According to his doctor, its nothing really worrying. ไม่มีอะไรน่าห่วงจริง ๆ นะคะ
เพราะว่ามันบ๊างบาง ยิ่งเวลาเปียกเหงื่อเนี๊ยะ แฮ่ๆ
