Amelie Mauresmo: "We are all tired" Written by Etienne Stekelenburg Monday, 02 October 2006 Mauresmo at Porsche Tennis Grand Prix(Stuttgart) Amelie Mauresmo is aiming for her third consecutive Porsche Tennis Grand Prix final. After losing the final to American Lindsay Davenport twice, the Frenchwoman seems to be eager to finally drive home that Porsche Targa 4 after winning a successful final. In 2004 Mauresmo had to retire with an injury and last year she lost 6-2, 6-4 to Davenport, who won her third Porsche. This year Lindsay Davenport is not present to keep Mauresmo from getting her first drive around the court in the newly build Porsche Arena. “We are all looking for the end of the year”, Amelie Mauresmo responded to the question of how she was feeling. There are only a few tournaments remaining and the year ending Championship. “I had a great year but at some points I thought I could have done better. After the championship, I could be more relaxed and there was some pressure off my shoulder. The form I had at the championships was showing the whole year so that was quite amazing and it still is. “After the Australian Open, the European season and going to the Middle East, I felt a little tired. It is tough to stay on top the whole season the way Roger (Federer) does. He is either being in the final or winning it and that is tough." “You want more once you have tasted the success and when you know how it is to win the big ones. If you feel that, you play well and feel you can beat anybody, then you have something that you want to keep doing. That is what I am going to try to do.”Amelie Mauresmo in Stuttgart With proposing changes to some of the tennis rules on the ATP Tour, Mauresmo feels it has good and bad sides. “From a media point of view I do understand. There is a lot of sport in the media and they want tennis to be more entertaining. They want to make sure that people are watching tennis. They want more drama or more excitement; they want to see th e man having to play more matches with the Round Robin competition. “I guess we will have to wait with it until they experienced it and turn it into a rule. Like for example what we tried with on court coaching, I am not for it. I think the basic thing about tennis is that you solve the problems by yourself on court. With tactical or mental coaching, it makes a huge difference. I think you will have to figure it out yourself what you have to do and don’t have to do. The sense of tennis itself gets changed when you allow on court coaching. to reduce the number of matches we play, so I guess we would have to wait with playing Round Robins as well. “It's okay to have pre-match interviews, just to tell the audience how we are feeling. It's not a big deal to answer a couple of questions. I also think it's okay to have a microphone on court so you can hear what players say to the umpire or ask for a trainer. “It seems that every year the level of women’s tennis is growing. It's getting better and better. Physically it's getting more and more demanding. It's getting tough to stay healthy the whole season, that is something we are struggling with. And we also, see a lot of different kind of great personalities on the women’s tour. “I think the players of 16, 17 and 18 years old are more mature now than when I was that age on the tour. They are all working in the right direction; they know what they do and what they want. As I recall, I was not this serious and mature at that age.” 嗯每年到這時候大家都在叫累真是辛苦了球季一年長達10個月，網球球員真不是人當的... 男網又很誇張，明年開始好像很多比賽要改打循環賽 Mo不贊成，她說那是行銷要把網球弄得更"娛樂性"，更符合媒體需求可是頂尖球員就必須打更多場球、對身體負擔更大 (偷偷在想，男網降搞是不是就是要打破Federer獨大的局面阿~) 幸好女網除了年終賽都沒有循環賽不過前陣子開始的on court coaching Mo也反對 (不過WTA會繼續用下去) 她說網球很重要的一點就是，在場上要自己處理所有問題不管是策略還是心理因素 on court coaching會讓網球的內涵變質 (真的不能同意她更多了~~~) 不過其他的她倒是不排斥像賽前的記者會，反正就講講話、回答回答問題；之前有提過要在場上裝麥克風觀眾就可以聽到球員和裁判的對話，或是球員間的對話這她也OK~~~ (做人光明磊落!沒在怕的啦!!!:p) 當時鷹眼新上路，Mo也不反對不過鷹眼還真的替比賽添了幾分戲劇性記得在看美網的時候，常常有人要挑戰時主播徐乃仁先生就會聽起來很興奮的說 "喔~~~這球的結果到底是什麼呢?.............." "哇，出界!!!這球是出界~~~" (講"出界"的時候，key都會高個兩度XD) 還蠻有趣的XDDDDDD -- 我懶惰... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.174.129.16
