Delpo在瑞士的訪問 http://www.menstennisforums.com/showpost.php?p=7766736&postcount=361 21.10.2008 20 years old Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro is the climber of the season. In Basel he wants to defend his place for the Masters Cup in Shanghai. Juan Martin Del Potro, in spring you were still the number 81, now you are in the Top 10 and as number 8 in the ranking you would qualify for the Masters Cup. How does this feel like? It's difficult right now not to think about the Masters. But I try to concentrate on Basel, to give my best and to enjoy the moment. If I qualify for Shanghai, it's great, if not, there's still the Davis Cup final. (好孩子) You won four consecutive tournaments this summer. What's happened in 2008? I have changed everything in the beginning of the season: my game, my head, my physical - and my coach. He has done very good work. But I must still improve a lot to catch up to Roger (Federer) or Rafa (Nadal). I have noticed this in Madrid again, when I lost against Roger (3:6, 3:6). Federer is still far away. What did Franco Davin, your new coach, causes? He believes in me, knows my qualities and knows what I'm capable of. He said, "Just try your best. Believe in yourself and look forward, not back. " That I do now. What you need to improve to a further stage to achieve? To serve and move better. Against Federer I served well, but in the most important moments I hit two double faults and that was it. I really have to get quicker. But I need some time to work on myself. I didn’t had the time as I played so much since July. You come from a country of clay specialists. Why do you prefer hard courts? That is strange, but it has to do with my game. I do not like it to run a lot, but prefer short points – serve, forehand. On clay you can’t prevent long rallies. Do you like indoor tournaments? They are okay. On a surface like in Basel you can play well. How do you assess the situation at the top: Is Rafael Nadal for you the clear number 1? Rafa has a very good season, he is certainly the best at the moment. But Roger is Roger, and for me he is perfect. Against Rafa, I can stay in the match - but if I must compete against Roger, my head is elsewhere. You have more respect for Federer? Yes. Because Rafa is a friend of mine, this is something else. But Rafa is unbelievable, he's only 22 and already the best. For whom are you when Federer plays against Nadal? Whoever wins there, I do not care. I'm not the #3. As long as I am in the top 10 the world is ok for me. Who is your role model? I like Safin, his style is so natural. And Roger, because he plays so loose. I study often how he plays volleys and try to learn. I think Roger is the role model that you should copy. Who was your idol in your youth? Sampras. But at that time I didn’t understand a lot of tennis, I was interested much more in soccer. One day Marcelo Gomez, a coach, came to me and said I could become a good tennis player. When I was eleven I decided for tennis. I think that was the right choice. With whom of your fellow Argentine players you get along the best? Nalbandian, Calleri, Cañas are all good friends. But the best is Juan Monaco. He also comes from my city, Tandil. Are you as a soccer fan going to watch Basel - Barcelona with Messi tomorrow? If I get a ticket ... I also have two friends in Basel, Costanzo and Gelabert. FC Basel被大屠殺^^" Costanzo待過河床 Gelabert待過大學生 What does the Davis Cup final against Spain mean to you? That's the most important thing for us Argentinean, we really want to win it,especially as the final for the first time takes place with us. We have a very good team and certainly a victory chance. How will you then recover? I probably need two months holiday ... But I will probably only allow myself two weeks. Maybe I go to Costa Rica for surfing. I start to play in 2009 at the Australian Open so I can practice longer. Is it true that you bestowed the luxury car you got for your victory in Stuttgart to your sister? Yes. The car arrived last week at home. As I won the final in Stuttgart it was her birthday, and that was my gift. But because she is still too young, I provisionally drive with it myself. 原來Stuttgart贏來的賓士送給妹妹當生日禮物不過妹妹年紀還小他先留著自己開XD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.73.35.67
