US Open Junior Girl's Champion - Heather Watson THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. You started off a little slow. She actually had a break on you , and you came back and it seemed to go all your way. 今天有點慢熱，她在第一盤有一個破發點，而妳克服了，之後比賽就順利許多？ HEATHER WATSON: Yeah, at the beginning I started down -- I hadn't been losing in any of my matches, and I just thought just to keep calm and just play my game, and if I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. 對，一開始沒有打起來，我還沒輸過哪一場比賽，我只是想要保持專注，然後打出我的比賽，贏就贏，輸就輸。 Q. How's it feel to win a Grand Slam championship? 拿下大滿貫冠軍有什麼感覺？ HEATHER WATSON: Well, actually when I won, I hadn't realized I'd won. I thought, oh, I won the match. And then I put my racquet down, and it finally began to sink in. It feels great. I think I'm the first British junior to win the girls, and Andy Murray won the boys about five years ago. It's just --I'm really proud of myself. 贏的那刻沒有感覺自己拿下冠軍了，只是覺得，喔，我贏了一場比賽，然後當我把球拍放下，我才感覺很棒。我想我是第一個英國女生拿下這個冠軍，Andy Murray大概在五年前拿下男生組冠軍，我很替我自己感到驕傲。 Q. You're still at school. Are you going back to school this week? 你還在求學，你這禮拜會回到學校？ HEATHER WATSON: Yeah, I'll be going to school tomorrow, actually. I'm flying to Florida this evening, and I'll be back in school tomorrow. 對，我明天就會去學校了。今天晚上會飛到佛羅里達，然後明天回校。 Q. So what time do you have to be at school tomorrow? 你明天幾點要到學校？ HEATHER WATSON: Well, I'll take a day off tennis tomorrow, and I'll be in school from 12:45 till 5:00. 我明天不會碰網球，然後我會在12:45~5:00時在學校。 Q. What's your first subject? Do you know what you'll be doing when you get in? Math, English, French? 你的第一個科目是什麼？你想學什麼課程？ HEATHER WATSON: I don't know. 我不知道。 Q. Can you tell us a little bit about how the connection with Nick Bollettieri came around, where that started, and where you are in that phase of your career at the moment? 可以和我們談談和Nick Bollettieri的連結嗎？從什麼時候開始? 在你此刻的職業生涯又代表著什麼階段？ HEATHER WATSON: Well, at 12 I decided, because I live on a small island, Guernsey, and there isn't many places to train. So we decided that I'd go to a tennis school, and we started to look around in England and France and Spain, and also we went to Bollettieri. When we went there, I decided that's where I wanted to go. 12歲那一年我決定去這個網球學校。我來自 Guernsey這個小島，沒有地方可以讓我練習，所以我們決定去網球學校，在英格蘭、法國、西班牙找合適的學校，也到了Bollettieri，當我們到了那裡，就決定這是我要待的地方了。 Q. What did you like about it that you saw that you wanted that school? 你看了什麼，覺得這是你想要待的學校？ HEATHER WATSON: Well, the weather is very convenient. I like that there was a lot of people, a lot of competition, and just the structure of how things worked. 我想天氣是很好的，我喜歡這裡有很多人，很多競爭者，還有這裡訓練的方式。 Q. Can you talk a little bit about the match today? You said that yesterday you needed to keep away from the forehand. Did you feel that you did that? 你可以談談今天的比賽嗎？你昨天有說要盡量避開正拍，你覺得自己今天有這樣做嗎？ HEATHER WATSON: Yeah, I felt at the beginning she was hitting a lot of forehand winners, but I started to figure it out, and I played moretop-spinny balls to her backhand and was trying to force the error. 是的。我有感覺她一開始擊出很多正拍致勝，但我開始去思考，我打較多的上旋球到她的反拍，讓她失誤。 Q. She mentioned that she had, you know, those two very, very long matches yesterday. Did you feel she was maybe a step slower? 她有提到她昨天歷經兩場很長的比賽，你覺得這是他較慢進入狀況的原因？ HEATHER WATSON: Maybe. I wasn't really thinking about that. I just know she's fit. She wanted to win today. So did I. I knew she wasn't going to give me anything easy. She was going to fight until the end. 有可能。不過我沒有去想這些，我知道她狀況是沒問題的，她也想贏，我也是。她不會讓我輕易拿下，她會奮戰到最後。 Q. Do you feel you've got better as the tournament has gone on? Because you only lost 11 games the last three matches. 你覺得自己在這場賽事中，是越打越好嗎？因為最後三場比賽，你只丟了 11局。 HEATHER WATSON: Definitely. My first round I think was my only three -setter., and after that I've just been playing really, really good tennis. Every match I've been getting better and better. I beat the Wimbledon junior champion and the runner-up of Roland Garros in my quarters and semis, and I've just been playing better and better. 我第一輪打了三盤，在那之後，我打得很好。每場比賽我越打越好，我分別在四強和八強賽中擊敗了溫布頓青少女冠軍和法網亞軍。我想我是打得越來越好。 Q. What changed? Did you get more confidence, or what? 有任何改變嗎？越來越有自信？ HEATHER WATSON: Yeah, definitely confidence, especially after beating No. 1. I felt really solid that game. I was stepping in and hitting everything, and I could keep it going. 是自信心。特別是在你擊敗第一名，我感覺自己的比賽很穩定，我能擊出我想擊出的球，我也能這樣持續下去。 Q. Where did you play your first tennis match in Guernsey? 你在Guernsey打的第一場比賽是在哪裡？ HEATHER WATSON: Where? 哪裡？ Q. Where. Probably haven't got that many courts. 那邊可能沒有很多球場。 HEATHER WATSON: No, but when I do train there, I train at either Longchamps or at King's Club. Those are like the only two clubs. 沒有，但我在那裡訓練的時候，我會在Longchamps或是King's Club練習。是那裡僅有的兩個俱樂部。 Q. Were your mum or dad a member of both of those clubs? 你的爸爸或媽媽是俱樂部的會員？ HEATHER WATSON: Both my parents were a member of King's Club, and I used to follow them down as a toddler and just watch them play, and then that's how I started tennis. 我爸媽是King's Club的會員。在我還小的時候就看他們在那裡打球，這也是為什麼我開始打球。 Q. What's your dad's name? 你爸爸叫什麼名字？ HEATHER WATSON: Ian Watson. He's my idol. Ian Watson。他是我的偶像。 Q. What Laura did last year, the fact she's made a bit of a splash, has that had any effect on you? Has it helped or inspired you? Laura去年帶起的火花，對你有任何影響嗎？她幫助了妳或是啟發了妳？ HEATHER WATSON: Definitely. Yeah, she's doing really well at a very young age. It would have been good to have an all-British final, but she had it tough yesterday. It's really good for British tennis, and we're starting to come through. 當然，她在這樣年輕的年紀做得很好，如果決賽是英國人對決會更好，但她昨晚的比賽很艱辛。這對英國網球是好的，我們正在起來。 Q. Why is your dad your idol? 為什麼你的父親是你的偶像？ HEATHER WATSON: Um, he's just always so calm, and he says no matter how I do, he'll be proud of me.

Then after that, I might play tennis again or I might not, and I've got my homework in the evening. 半天是網球的課，半天是學校的課。我早上會做網球的事情，從早上 6：45分開始，然後在11：00結束，這當中包含了體能訓練和全部的課程。中午12：45分開始到下午4：30我會上學校的課程。那之後，我會再練習網前或是寫回家作業。 Q.
