Canas 法網16強賽後訪問
http://tinyurl.com/2odda4
很長的訪問，談了這場比賽，他覺得表現相當好，狀態也很好，好天氣也幫了不少忙，
還有他和對手相比1:3的UE，他說他盡量把球維持在場內，等待對手犯錯。他也讚許
Monaco是個好的紅土選手。還談了下一場對手Davydenko or 小班(因為他的比賽先打完)
他覺得都會是硬仗，都要小心對付，假如是小班，因為兩人太熟悉彼此了，常一起練習，
所以會是有趣的比賽。還談了發球的進步，以及如何定義自己是哪一類型的選手(那段想法
很不錯)，還談了很多如何去發揮出最好表現等等，Willy的想法都很不錯。
Q. How close would you say you are to your very best form on clay at the
moment?
GUILLERMO CANAS: I think I am in my best performance on clay. I'm very
confident in my game. I don't remember the years before how I am, but I think
it's my best performance, or I feeling I'm playing my best tennis in the
moment.
Q. And the first set today was almost perfect.
GUILLERMO CANAS: Yeah, I think today I play very good match. I'm very happy
the way I play. I think the first set was great. I didn't miss a ball. I
think, today all the match, in three sets, I'm very happy the way I play.
Q. The hot weather has hit. It's here.
GUILLERMO CANAS: Yeah.
Q. And the courts are fast and the bounces are high. Tell us what that does
for your game?
GUILLERMO CANAS: No, I think it's much better. I prefer this weather. I think
for me it's better if the weather continue like this. Yeah, it's very
different tournament. Just the ball bounce high. It's faster.
But today I really am feeling much confidence with this weather. I hope this
continue like this next week.
Q. You've had so few unforced errors in your first four matches compared to
your opponent. That's almost like 3 to 1. Do you get some sort of inner joy
at watching yourself breakdown your opponents, forcing them into errors?
GUILLERMO CANAS: No, really, I don't feel different shots. When I get to the
court, I try to make not many forced errors. Just I try to -- my game is to
play like this. I know if I play like this, I have a chance that the other
guy start to miss a lot. And when this happen, I feel more confidence in my
game. But it's the way I try to play.
THE MODERATOR: Questions in Spanish.
Q. You've said that after the first match you would talk more between Nadal
and Federer. This is the second week.
GUILLERMO CANAS: Yes, this is the second week, and I'm one of the possible
who can win the tournament. I'm quite happy because I've reached the
quarterfinals. I have moments for the tournament it will be a little bit
different. From what we've seen so far, I'm going to play against players who
are very good.
But today I'm very happy because I've played against a player who has plenty
of confidence. I've played my best tennis, and I'm very happy about it.
Q. About this same topic, we asked Monaco if you could be the third man
between Nadal and Federer. Juan Monaco said yes. He said that you are really
craving for victory.
GUILLERMO CANAS: That's true. That's true. And I'm very happy if other
players make this type of comment. I would say that I have still the same
mindset. I want to move forward in the tournament. It is true that I've built
up some extra confidence. He's one of the best players on clay, and I've
played my best tennis and it means a lot to me.
Q. Forward, imagine Nalbandian wins. If you were to play Nalbandian or
Davydenko, which one would you prefer?
GUILLERMO CANAS: If I were to play against Davydenko, it's going to be a very
difficult match. There will be plenty of challenges. I will try to face my
opponent and I will try to play my best level.
And if I play against David Nalbandian, it will be a totally different match.
I mean, I know him very well. And I've been doing for quite a long time. We
spent plenty of time on the court together. So it will be a tough match for
both players. And I know how he plays. He knows how I play. But I don't think
that we're going to change our tactics. It will be an interesting match. And
I think that we will play at a high level in order to move to the next stage.
Q. The other day you said that your best weapon in order to move out of
difficult situation was your serve. But what about your defensive game? I
mean, your defensive game is as important as your serve.
GUILLERMO CANAS: I've served well today. I played very accurately, and I
defended myself when need be. But what is important is that I've done my job.
And I've played very well and this gives me a lot of confidence in order to
move forward in the tournament.
Q. What type of player are you?
GUILLERMO CANAS: The way I define myself? I don't know. It's very difficult
to give a self-definition of yourself. It's very difficult. It's very
difficult to look at yourself in the mirror. I would say that I'm a seasoned
player. I'm an experienced player. I want to play every point as if each
point was the last one of the match.
I would say that my game has been improving over the past few years. My serve
has improved significantly. And I have plenty of confidence. I've moved
forward. I've made some progress. And gradually I would say that I'm a more
complete player. But I need to move forward. That's all.
In other words, what is important is the way you play the way I fight for
each point, for each ball. And that's what matters.
Q. At this stage of the tournament, we have to recognize and acknowledge that
you have done very well. It is true that the media will pay attention to
Nadal, Federer, and Moya?
GUILLERMO CANAS: It's quite normal that people focus on Nadal and Federer,
because they are head of the pack and they've got the best results over the
past few years. It's quite normal that the media talk about them. But we are
dealing with a tennis tournament, and everything can happen. There are plenty
of players with a very good level. It's very difficult to defeat Federer or
Nadal. But, I mean, on the tennis court I would say that I will do my best. I
don't know whether it's an advantage or not whether the media talks about me
or not.
Q. Any pressure?
GUILLERMO CANAS: No pressure. I don't have any pressure. I'm here to enjoy. I
want to play my best level, so I don't have any pressure as far as I'm
concerned, I would say. And when I step on the tennis court, I want to enjoy.
I want to savour and to take relish in these moments. It goes beyond what
people would say about me.
Q. You've played your best level. If you continue the way you play, you don't
have a lot of improvements to make.
GUILLERMO CANAS: There is always room for improvement. What I want to tell
you is that it was the trickiest player, because he has plenty of confidence
and he has got some good results.
But I've played my best, and I have plenty of confidence. But, of course, we
need to move forward. And I'm quite happy with the way I played and the way I
behaved on the court. And I'm full of confidence.
Q. During this match, you didn't go to the net very often. Do you think that
you can reach the final without going to the net?
GUILLERMO CANAS: I think that you can reach the final of Roland Garros,
whatever way you play. What is important is to play well. But, in fact, I
didn't go to the net because I was playing against Juan and it was very
difficult to play differently. So we have to adapt our strategies to the
opponent. Of course, we have to be a little bit more aggressive from time to
time. But my game hasn't changed. Basically I have a game plan. That's all.
Q. At the end of the match after all these events of your career, what about
the standing ovation from the crowd? Did you realize that?
GUILLERMO CANAS: No, I didn't realize that there was a standing ovation. I
mean, I didn't enjoy that too much. I was very happy because I've won today.
And I enjoyed stepping on the court and I enjoyed playing a tournament on
this court. This is my favorite court in this stadium. And I like this court,
and I enjoyed it. Of course, I wish I could enjoyed more this event with the
public, but I'm very happy with it. Of course, I couldn't feel it at the
utmost.
Q. You are in the second week. Your physical fitness is not at the top level?
GUILLERMO CANAS: I mean for a Grand Slam tournament you want to reach the
second week. And it is true that we don't want to spend a lot of time on the
tennis court. I haven't lost many sets, so I'm very happy with my results.
And next Tuesday I will be on court and I will be very fit.
Q. So you played against Moya, you played against Costa. You were about to
win a few years ago, but now you are five years older. So what is your
assessment? Do you feel better today?
GUILLERMO CANAS: I would say that five years more didn't have a lot of
impact, in fact. So I'm an old guy with plenty of experience, in fact. So it
is true that as old as I am, I'm doing well. And it is true that I will spend
less time on court, and I had spent less time on court. But what is important
for me is to feel good without pain. It will be quite positive for me if I
reach the quarterfinals.
