[訪問] Clijsters四強賽後訪談-2
Q. What about the suggestion she's got a psychological edge over you?
KIM CLIJSTERS: That's always something that they're gonna keep saying, if you
lose against her. I definitely don't think -- in those matches
I knew where the problem was laying and I knew that it wasn't
psychological, so...
Q. You've developed one of the most unique strokes in tennis: the splits
forehand. How did it take to develop it?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I never used to do it when I was young. I really actually have
no idea when I first started doing it. I think it's because I
grew up on clay, playing in the summers in Belgium. You know,
there obviously you have to use it.
I think I just, yeah -- I don't know, without even thinking
about it, probably when we had to, you know, change surfaces
from clay to the hard court or something. Probably was still
thinking that I was on the clay or sometOi
But I don't know if I would recommend it to kids, especially
when their bones are not fully grown yet and everything. I don't
think that's probably the healthiest way to do. It's not like I
use it that often, maybe once or twice
Q. You won't hear the reaction of the crowd, would you?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Sorry?
Q. You wouldn't hear the reaction of the crowd? There's a groan that goes
through the crowd.
KIM CLIJSTERS: Well, no. Afterwards you hear people and stuff talking, but not
while you're playing. I mean, you're focusing on the ball, so
you don't really know or you don't really hear what's happening
in the stadium.
Q. You won all your matches without dropping a set, being injured, this problem
with your ankle. What does it make you feel about the state of the women's
tennis?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Well, I feel very, very, I mean, lucky in a way as well to have
gone through all these matches in straight sets - especially the
match yesterday against -- or, yeah, no -- yesterday against
Anastasia. I was very, very lucOy
You know, I really wanted to get through it. It's been, yeah,
I think just for me, very lucky to have been getting through all
my matches in straight sets.
Q. When you played Justine before, has it been a tactical issue do you think?
KIM CLIJSTERS: No, I don't think so. Like I said before, I was playing so many
matches getting, all the tournaments before the French Open, and
playing doubles in all those events as well. And at the French
I was playing a lot of doubles and, you know, at the US Open as
well. I was just, I think -- it was too much. I didn't really
feel like -- you know, I was just exhausted at the end of the
tournament. You know, that's something that I've learned. I've
really enjoyed playing my doubles and getting to
No. 1, that was very special for me and for Ai as well. So I've
been very happy with what I did last year.
But I think, you know, I've done that now. And this year, you
know, I think I've become a little bit smarter in a way as well,
and you learn things every year.
Q. No. 1, is that on your mind?
KIM CLIJSTERS: No, you know, I think it's been very special, and getting to
No. 1 was a very special occasion. But on the other hand, also
very busy. You know, it's taken a lot of -- especially me,
because I still have to put a lot of time into, you know,
recovery for my body, for my shoulder and stuff.
I felt like when I got to Toronto from LA, it was all very
exciting, having awards, all those things. It took a little bit
away of my professional side of tennis. I didn't really have a
lot of time to do what I think was best for myself and for my
game. But on the other hand, it was fun to do those things as
well. But, you know, it was hard to combine in a way as well.
Q. Talking about the chance to reclaim it in the next match.
KIM CLIJSTERS: I don't know. It all depends. I think I'll try -- you know,
No. 1 comes, you know, after, you know, you have to be strong,
you have to be fit, you have to make sure that you play good
every match, doesn't matter if you're playing in a Grand Slam
or if you're playing, you know, in a small tournament, you have
to try to make sure that you want to get through all those
matches. Doesn't matter where or, you know...
Then if you do well, and if you make sure that all those three
details are, you know, at their best, then, you know, those
things will come automatically.
Q. At the US Open a lot of people thought that Justine didn't have much
chance because she had the IV. But it's reversed now, you having a bit of
a problem and she's a favorite. Do you like the way it sets up for Saturday?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I don't know, you know. I think at the US Open, it just shows
how fit Justine is as well. She definitely has to be one of
the fittest girls out there at the moment.
She looks a lot stronger and she's been working on a lot of
her weaknesses, I think, was probably her physique. She looks
really fit now. I think she -- I don't think it's gonna change
anything for me personally getting into that match tomorrow.
I'll try, you know, very hard, and I know it's gonna be a
tough match and I know that I have to do everything right to
get through that one.
But, you know, I'll definitely -- I'm happy to be in the finals,
you know. Like I said almost in every press conference already,
you know, maybe two weeks ago I didn't even think that I was
going to be able to compete here. So I'm definitely not
complaining to be sitting here.
Q. Do you think it might have been, in a way, an advantage to have some of the
pressure taken off you in your preparation, because you had the injury?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I don't know, because in a way it made me worry about my
preparation as well. In a way, you know, I didn't think that I
was ready enough, I think. In Sydney I was sitting in my hotel
room for three, four days. They told me, "You can't run, you
can't do things in the gym," and stuff, which was hard for me,
especially when I came knowing that Melbourne was so close.
That was -- you know, you start doubting things. You say, "Is
it the perfect preparation? Will I feel good enough to start the
tournament?" That was tough.
But, you know, I got better throughout the tournament, and I
felt -- I've been feeling good, you know. There's been a few
little problems, but overall, I've been feeling good. And even
now, you know, I still feel good.
