□四大賽成績
YEAR Aus Open Roland Garros Wimbledon US Open
2001 --- 1ST --- ---
2002 1ST 4TH 2ND 1ST
其中最好的成績是今年法網打到第四輪,過程如下︰
R128 Ferreira, Wayne (RSA) 6-4 6-7(1) 5-7 6-2 6-0
R64 Santoro, Fabrice (FRA) 7-5 6-1 1-6 6-4
R32 Novak, Jiri (CZE) 6-4 6-4 6-3
R16 Agassi, Andre (USA) 6-4 6-3 3-6 3-6 3-6
第四輪這場被Agassi輸二贏三的比賽,似乎是Paulo職業生涯的轉捩點。他自己也說
︰「雖然最後輸了,但從這場比賽學到不少東西。」 我想對他而言最重要的就是信
心度的提升吧。於是果然到了賽季尾聲,便突然來個黑馬大暴走 :P,弄的大家都對
這個法國超級新星非常好奇。
□Back to back
Kremlin Cup, Moscow. 9/30~10/6.
Qualifying:
Ivanov, Pavel (RUS) 6/3 6/4
Elsner, Daniel (GER) 6/1 4/6 7/6(4)
Sarstrand,Marcus (SWE) 4/6 6/3 6/4
R32 Robredo, Tommy (ESP) 6-7(4) 7-5 6-2
R16 Novak, Jiri (CZE) 4-6 6-3 6-4
Q Schuettler, Rainer (GER) 4-6 6-2 6-3
S Safin, Marat (RUS) 7-6(3) 6-4
W Schalken, Sjeng (NED) 4-6 6-2 6-0
Paulo是今年唯一一位資格賽冠軍。他在決賽後的訪問說︰
「來莫斯科之前,我從來沒有想到會進入決賽,更別提奪冠了。我只是想通過資格賽,
不過我越打越好。」
「很難相信我已經拿到了第一個ATP冠軍,尤其對一個資格賽選手來說。我等這一刻等
很久了,畢竟打球就是為了這個。」
「這是我第一次來俄羅斯。我不知道為什麼觀眾們站在我這邊,或許是因為我較年輕
吧。」
「第一盤相當難打。我很緊張。不過因為這幾場比賽我幾乎都是先丟第一盤再逆轉,
所以我知道我還有機會。而第二與第三盤是我本週發揮的最好的,甚至比准決賽戰勝
Safin 時還更好。
「我想我還有許多進步空間,而我將嘗試看看我能到達哪裡。不過我現在要做的是在
今年剩下的兩、三場賽事中盡量贏球。下週便有在里昂的比賽,所以今晚沒辦法慶祝
太多。」
Lyon, France. International Series. 10/7~10/13
R32 Boutter, Julien (FRA) 6-2 7-5
R16 Johansson, Thomas (SWE) 7-5 6-7(5)
Q Bjorkman, Jonas (SWE) 7-5 6-4
S Pless, Kristian (DEN) 6-7(5) 7-6(5) 6-4
W Kuerten, Gustavo (BRA) 4-6 6-3 6-1
二週來12場連勝打進里昂決賽後,Paulo 對記者說︰今天我累壞了,而且全身都痛。
如果不是在里昂,我甚至不確定是否會打這場比賽。我想不管從哪方面來看這都是一
場相當競爭的比賽。希望明天我可以覺得好些。在我的網球生涯我等這樣的兩個禮拜
很久了。」
於是隔天Paulo在決賽先輸第一盤再追兩盤擊敗 Guga,第13場連勝,第二次打進決賽
便拿下第二個冠軍,並且是今年第三個連續兩週奪冠的選手,其他兩位分別是 Lley-
ton Hewitt (San Jose and Indian Wells) 和 Carlos Moya (Bastad and Umag)。
而最近一位連續奪冠的法國男選手是1991年的Guy Forget。
關於這場決賽,我想我可以節錄一段路透社10月14日的新聞︰
盡管兩周來馬不停蹄的比賽非常消耗體力,但馬蒂厄在第二盤打起精神發起反擊,又
在第三盤完全控制了局面,一上來就破掉這位巴西名將的發球局,並以極具威脅的回
球令庫爾滕望塵莫及。這場用時92分鐘的決賽進行到末段時,庫爾滕看來已疲憊不堪
。這位巴西名將2月份動了髖部手術後,世界排名已跌至第40位。 三屆法國公開賽冠
軍庫爾滕說,本屆賽事的前幾輪比賽中,他與頭號種子薩芬(沙芬)和法國選手克萊芒
(卡萊文特)進行了激烈較量,因此體力消耗很大。不過他對馬蒂厄大加贊揚。庫爾滕
說︰「他打得太出色了,顯然勤於鍛鍊。」--翻譯段曉冬
至於 Paulo 於賽後說﹕「我今早起來就覺得比星期六好多了。」 「我相信今天的比
賽我有機會,Guga是網壇的傳奇之一,所以讓這場勝利更為特別。當我在頒獎典禮拿
到獎盃時才終於相信我又贏了。兩個勝利很棒,不過我覺得香檳嘗起來比伏特加好。」
「我從兒時起就夢想成為世界排名第一的選手,目前距離這個目標還很遠。」
加油吧Paulo,你可以的。 :)

Mathieu hopes to bounce back after Davis Cup defeat
PARIS (Reuters) - Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu is looking forward to
getting back on the tennis court after his shock defeat in the decisive
game of the Davis Cup final against Russian Mikhail Youzhny, he said.
"I still have the same dreams: to give my maximum in order to get as
high as possible," the 20 year-old told French sports daily L'Equipe.
"Big defeats make you improve as well as great victories."He(Youzhny)
hit incredible shots. I knew he was talented. Forehand, backhand, he did
everything. But he had no fear and even if he looked tired at times, he
finished strongly."
Mathieu said he never felt the match, which he lost 3-6 2-6 6-3 7-5
6-4, was slipping from his grasp.
"Even in the fifth set, I came back for 3-3. No, even when he was
serving for the match, I was still there. I hoped I would come back and
told myself that he was not mentally strong. But he was. "
He recalled his similar defeat from two sets up against Andre Agassi
in the French Open earlier this year, arguing it had been a turning point
in his career.
"I'm persuaded this one (against Youzhny) will have the same effect."
After he was defeated in five sets by Agassi at Roland Garros, Mathieu
won two tournaments in a row, in Moscow then in Lyon, before he had to pull
out of the Paris Masters Series with an injury.
But Mathieu said he was not comforted by the fact many players, including
14-times grand slam winner Pete Sampras, failed in their early Davis Cup
career.
"I wanted to be better than them," he said.
He added he was aware the whole country was behind him but did not want
to elaborate.
"It is true many things have happened, but I don't want to focus on that.
I'm still the same, I will go on training. There is still work do be done
and I know it."
"I'm looking forward to starting again, and even if I need two or three
more days off, I want to put on a spurt," he added.

這是我能找到的關於Paulo的全部了。
希望大家也支持他喔 :)
