WTA Tour - Q & A: Nicole Vaidisova
Eurosport - Tue, 04 Dec 12:51:00 2007
Nicole Vaidisova wants to forget about an injury-filled 2007 season and is
already looking forward to her biggest challenge of 2008, the Beijing Olympics.
The 18-year-old Vaidisova started the season at 10th in the WTA rankings, but
finished 12th at the end of the year.
The Czech's injury troubles in 2007 were as follows: a split finger during an
exhibition in Hong-Kong in January, an injured right wrist in April that kept
her out of much of the clay season, a case of glandular fever in July that kept
her out of play for nearly two months between Wimbledon and the US Open, a
problem with the ligaments in her left knee in September, and another injury to
her right wrist in October.

She is clearly hoping that 2008 will be a more healthy year than 2007:
Q: Nicole, have you started training for the new season?
NV: I have been building fitness since last week and I have just started
actual tennis training a few days ago.
(上週開始體能訓練,幾天前也開始練球了)
Q: I heard you have a new fitness coach. Is he strict?
NV: Yes, but I need that. (laughs)
(換了新的體能教練)
Q: Tell me something about his training methods.
NV: I had not been doing anything for four weeks so we were starting
practically from scratch. I mainly do a lot of jogging, sprinting, squatting,
and gym work. Nothing unusual but a lot of practice.
(休息四週後,開始體能訓練,包含了慢跑,短跑,蹲舉,還有一些健身活動)
Q: As for tennis, are you working on anything special with your father
Ales Kodat?
NV: We have some points which show themselves in unsuccessful matches that I
need to improve on. I don't want to talk about the main one but in general
those are the technically-tactical things - going to the net or positioning on
the court.
(和爸爸在網球上面,討論如何改進的方法,主要是策略上的,像何時上網,和在場上的位置)
Q: What about your health?
NV: I am tired from the fitness training but apart from it I am absolutely
fine. (laugh)
(現在已經恢復健康了)
Q: So that is a change from what was otherwise a really unsuccessful year in
terms of injuries. Are you happy that the season is over?
NV: To be honest, yes I am. I was happy to see the season over. I am looking
forward to moving away from it and having a new start. I hope the next year
will be better than this one. And I am working hard to make that happen.
(希望明年真的會更好)
Q: Has there been anything positive that stuck in your memory from 2007?
NV: It was a strange year. I had a great start, reaching the semi-finals of
Australian Open, I played well at French Open after the wrist injury. I don't
have only negative memories of this year, it was more like up and down.
(2007是很詭異的一年,有很好的開始,法網也打的不錯,不全然是壞的,但是就是起起伏伏)
Q: Many people predict you to be a main star in 2008, what are you objectives?
NV: I have just one objective, to go through the season without being injured
or ill.
(對於外界依舊給予很高的期待,Nicole說只想明年無傷病的打完球季)
Q: What about returning to Top 10, a Grand Slam final or taking part in one of
the Masters Cup events?
NV: Of course, I have an idea in my head what I would like to achieve. But that
can be achievable only if I stay fit. Now it is useless to speak about it.
(談過多的期望,如果沒有身體健康,一切都是空談)
Q: Are you looking forward to the Olympic Games in Beijing?
NV: Enormously. The Olympic Games are one of the 2008 events where I am most
looking forward to play.
(很期待打奧運)
Q: A lot of tennis players don't want to take part in it. Have you considered
not playing there?
NV: Not at all. I would rather miss other tournaments than the Olympics. I love
the tradition and the fact that you don't play just for yourself, that you also
play for your country.!
(她覺得打奧運是為了國家,而不光是為了自己,她很喜歡"代表國家"這個傳統)
Q: The chances of winning the gold medal there might be open as Justine Henin
is considering skipping the event. Why do you think she is ruling the tennis
world in such style?
NV: Of course she has unbelievable strokes, but foremost, she is a big fighter.
How she plays under pressure, in critical situations, that is simply unique.
(談Henin)
Q: You are saying that you want to be the world number one in the future. So,
would you like to have Justine Henin's fighting spirit and psyche?
NV: I would not like anything from her. (laughs) I would like if I personally
make improvements.
(編按:我很喜歡這個回答)
Q: So, what are you lacking, except the points, to be like Justine?
NV: (laughs) Probably a sense of how to solve some exact situations on the
court. But we are working hard on that. We need a little luck, for me to be fit
and hard work. Then we will see.
(缺少的大概是在場上的臨場反應,但她已經在努力中,重要的還是維持健康和勤奮的訓練)
