http://0rz.tw/CZ52l R. FEDERER/J.Acasuso 7-6, 5-7, 7-6, 6-2 An interview with: ROGER FEDERER THE MODERATOR: Questions in English, please. Q. Howpleased were you to be able to cope with all the emotional highs and lows ofthat match? Looked like you should havelost the first set, you lost the second, should have lost the third, andyou won it in four. ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, could have won both, first threesets. Could have lost them, also. Of course, I'm thrilled, you know, to bethrough. It was sort of a fun match tobe part of, you know, with so many ups and downs. It's not the usual, you know. I thought Jose played well, and Istarted to struggle a little bit throughout the third set after sort of beingup a break in the second set and things were looking like things wereunder control. I was mistaken. I'm happy to have comethrough such a tough match, you know. Those matches are good, you know, knowing that physically it wasn't aproblem. I'm excited about the nextmatch, that's for sure. Q. Doyou think that during the most difficult moments of the match, especially thefirst three sets, you took advantage of your mental toughness, which is maybeeven more than Acasuso's? ROGER FEDERER: Sure. I mean, I guess in such a match it comes down to details, you know. Mentally I've always been very strong, butI'm not being put in a position like this very often, you know. So it was good to win both breakers. I mean, I definitely think he didn't play agood tiebreaker in the third set, but I had to get there first after being sobad. I thought he made it reallydifficult for me today. I was lookingfor my game, you know, midway through the third set, just trying to get therallies going my way. It was hard,because he was playing so well. Definitely it was a sign ofmental strength, and, you know, the physical abilities I have. Q. Didyou start to have any problem with your shoulder? ROGER FEDERER: Shoulder? Q. Yeah. ROGER FEDERER: No. Not that I know of. (Laughter.) Q. Was that a good kind of fighting match to getout of the way in this round as opposed to later on? And then perhaps, you know, something moreabout your clay game now. ROGER FEDERER: Well, absolutely. I think conditions made it definitely hardtoday for the players, you know. It wasslow, so you had to really be very patient and that might have played in hisfavor. But, you know, coming through such amatch is always a great feeling. Like Isaid, I'm not part of such close matches that often, you know. So when they happen, you know, it's great toput in the fight when you can. I washappy with my performance today, you know, because the stats actually lookedpretty good. I just had to stay calmwith all the ups and downs there were in the first three sets. Q. In the last set, and when he got behind, hestarted to look a little discouraged or tired. Did that allow you to relax at all? ROGER FEDERER: Sure, a little bit. But at the same time, you don't really relaxuntil you have maybe double break, especially after seeing what happened oneset before, you know, even with double break. You're not that relaxed anymore because conditions were kind of slow,and there was always a chance he might get back in it. He definitely looked a bit tired tome. I was just trying to really tightenup my game, and I was able to do it and close him out. It was a good feeling. Q. As fatherhood gets closer and closer, haveyou thought at all about how that's going to change your approach to tennis, orperhaps even to life? ROGER FEDERER: Um, not a whole lot, but I'm very excited,obviously, about it. You know, we talkabout it with Mirka on a regular basis, and I'm sure it's going to have a verypositive impact, you know, for my personal life, obviously. I think for my tennis life, too,it's just going to make it more exciting, trying to find the best ways tobalance both things. I know from my sideI'll be as professional as ever, you know, even when the baby is there. It's something I'm really looking forward to,and, yeah, I'm excited. Q. Do you have any kind of plan laid out for thefirst few weeks? ROGER FEDERER: No. Imean, Mirka would like to travel with me as much as possible, you know. But we'll see how it goes. I mean, honestly, I'm kind of in the FrenchOpen right now. I'm trying to, you know,mentally also be with Mirka as much as I can, obviously. Q. It looks like you do not have so many optionson clay as on other surfaces. What'syour thought about when one doesn't work? It's more difficult on clay? ROGER FEDERER: Well, there's always going to be differenttypes of games, you know, in all different surfaces, you know. Then you also have different opponents makingit more difficult for you. I think a player like José suits medefinitely better on a faster court where I've played him a few times. But when you play him on clay, you've neverplayed him there, that makes it more difficult than today. Conditions were very slow, extremelyslow. It was even raining in thebeginning. So of course that takes awaygame plans, because you can't just attack the net blindly and try to bluff yourway through a match like this, especially best -of-five set match. Clearly itdoes take away options. Not just for me,but for anybody. I still feel I haveplenty of ways to try and beat a player. José played me well today, and it was a close match. Q. You'vehad a lot of success in Shanghaiat the Masters Cup, but what do you envision it as you go there as a MastersSeries? What kind of tournament is goingto shape up? ROGER FEDERER: I think it's going to be very exciting forthe fans to see, you know. A ton ofplayers all of a sudden, you know, after just seeing sort of a handful, and Ithink that's going to be nice. Also, it's an outdoor event now, sothe roof is going to be nice and open. It's going to look fabulous. Thenthe whole feeling on the grounds, you know, I think it's not something youreally have during the Masters Cup. Itwas all based around center court. So I think that's going to benice for the Chinese fans to go there and see. I'm excited to go there, and hopefully it's going to be a nice eventagain. I'm sure they'll put on abeautiful tournament. THE MODERATOR: Questions for French. Q. At 5-1 you scared your fans. Were you afraid, too? (這個記者問得真是深得我心) ROGER FEDERER: I think it was okay. But the way the game was in the third set, Iwas not particularly happy. I changed mytactic at the beginning of the third set. It didn't work out well, especially on my return, and that made things abit more complex. I had to think aboutmy tactics, and at the same time I was losing, so that wasn't fun. But I tried to make his lifedifficult, and to come to an end in the game, but that was sufficient for me tobe back in the set. That was a very nicematch we had, and I'm very happy the way I fought today. Q. Yes, but you didn't answer. Were you a bit worried at 5-1 in the thirdset? ROGER FEDERER: Yes, a bit. But I was not afraid to die, so everything was okay. Q. That type of match, is that something youhave to go through for a Grand Slam, having a difficult match? Does it make your life easier afterwards? ROGER FEDERER: Well, I like easy matches, but it's also niceto fight on these difficult matches, especially when you win. Then it's nice to talk about this match, butI have good experience here in Roland Garros on the center court. Physically speaking, I wasfine. I was fit. I can't forecast any problem for the future,and the work I did over the last month pays off. Q. You explained your mistakes all along thismatch. Is it due to lack ofconcentration and lack of focus? Did ithappen in your head, as well? ROGER FEDERER: Well, it's a combination of many things. He played very well. I was not managing and controlling the matchthe way I should have. Having him back,allowing him to come back was not a good thing. Well, many things. My analysis now is different from the one Ihad at the end of the second set, which I should have won and I lost, but hedid deserve a few sets. Q. You talked about your tactical problems. Do you feel your game has evolved over thelast years here in Roland Garros? ROGER FEDERER: Yes, quite clearly. At the beginning I had many difficulties withmy backhand, for instance. For instance,in '03 when I won Wimbledon afterwards, Ithink I was not very solid from a mental standpoint. After I lost the first set, it was almostimpossible for me to be back and win the match. And I put too much pressure onmyself, even before the match. Today I'mmuch calmer, which is very helpful. Ialso have more experience, so I know the players more than I used to. Physically, mentally, I'm stronger. I have improved my backhand, so I hope I playbetter today than I did a few years ago. Q. On the match point, what was yourfeeling? Were you relieved you avoided atrap? ROGER FEDERER: No, I had good feeling. I thought it was a very good match for me. Many mistakes, but many mistakes in three-and-a-half-hours, that's pretty normal. But there were many winning points, as well. I made many aces, no double faults, sostatistics were good for me. What I want to say with thecrowd at the end, they--I had a standing ovation at the end, and that'svery moving each time. I have a feelingI'm the grand favorite here in Paris,and that's very nice. Q. Maybethis is a stupid question, but you won the draw and you decided toreceive. Is it a new approach? ROGER FEDERER: I returned? Okay. Okay. I returned. I was not serving. Yeah, Idecided to return, because it was raining a bit. I said, Okay, serve. You first, and we'll see afterwards. So I chose it. I made that decision because I didn't feel Iwas capable of scoring four aces in a row. Q. A double question: Did you look at Mirka and Pierre any morethan you usually do? And secondquestion, why do you have to have the people supporting you each time? ROGER FEDERER: Well, I probably did look at them a bit morethan during the first match, because --well, I had moreopportunities. When you have a fightlike this one, your team is important, and they did support me. I said to Mirka, It's important youremain calm in difficult moments. Well,it's better for her right now. No, butit's fine with Pierre, Gary. They all supported me. That was important. With the crowd? Honestly, I do nothing. Maybe this is what the people like. I'm not trying to seduce the crowd. I just try and play beautiful tennis. If they like it, great. If they don't like it, nothing I can do. I also think being a fair player with regardsto your opponent, with regards to the game, with regards to the people there,it's very important to me, and this is something people seem to like. Q. Between30 Celsiusyour first day and a humid atmosphere today, has the court evolved? Is it more of a problem? And if yes, do you look at the weatherforecast? ROGER FEDERER: Well, yes, of course. It has to do --the weather has to dowith the tension I decide for my racquets because the ball bounces more and thesurface is faster. The kick was notgoing very high, and the ball remains lower. Then there are advantages linked tothe conditions we had today. But the wayAcasuso was playing today, maybe that was not a great advantage. But that's also the way I won in Hamburg, so that's why Ilike this surface. When you know it's going tobe wet weather you can adapt. I've beenplaying on wet clay courts since I was a young kid, so I know this surface. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.165.102.78
