大俠的訪問~~
Why did you change your mind about cutting your hair after getting to
the semifinals at Wimbledon last year? (問的好阿!!我也對他的頭髮很有興趣!!)
I couldn't do for a number of reasons. My management said I couldn't do it
because of the image and for reasons like that. I wanted to do it, but I
couldn't.
Why do you like playing on grass and what do you think of the "new way"
of playing on grass with players preferring to stay at the baseline?
I like grass because most of the time it's serve and volley for others and I
like it when players come in. And then from the back it's a lot slower and the
balls are heavier so you can play with spin and you can play from the back and
really have a good chance.
Why do you always seem to play so well during the Grand Slams but not so much
during the rest of the year, especially when you have beaten Top 10 players at
Wimbledon and Roland Garros? (大俠,我真的猜不透你阿>"<)
I guess I get more pumped up in the weeks before the Slams. I always enjoy
going to the Slams and go there five or six days earlier and I think that at
the beginning of the year I was a little tired, but as soon as the season gets
to Rome, Hamburg and the Slams I really get fired up and I start playing well
for the rest of the year.
Following Henin's success at the French Open and considering that
women's tennis in your country is doing so well at the moment, do you feel any
pressure from your countrymen to perform in the men's circuit?
Not really. It kind of takes the pressure off because they're always in the
spotlight and they have all the pressure of being No. 2 and 3 in the world.
Sometimes it's not bad because even if we do well and get to the semifinals
and the finals it gets mentioned but it's no big deal for them, for us it is.
So it takes the pressure off because they don't follow us as much as the
women so we can just do our thing and enjoy it.
You play well on all surfaces, but which one is your favourite?
I don't really have a favourite. I grew up on clay until I was about 16 and
then I moved to Florida and have been playing for seven years on hard courts.
The grass, I think you have to take it as a fun time because it's just a few
weeks and it's something different. The Australian Open is on hard courts, so
I like playing on all of them.
Is Wimbledon your favourite Grand Slam of the calendar year? And do you think
you can defend your semi-final points?
I think I can. On grass, you need a little bit of luck, that's for sure. But I
like hitting passing shots, and if my serve goes well, and I like returning,
so it really fits on grass. Last year I won some five-setters that other times
you might lose, but I think that if you can do it once, why not twice. I
think all the Slams have something special. I probably feel a little bit more
comfortable because I know I've done well there, but I think any Slam gets you
really pumped up and its fun to play.
You've already reached the semifinal at a Grand Slam so what is your
next target? Winning a Grand Slam title or be a number one. What will be your
priority?
I'd like to win a Slam and have that feeling of standing on stage and getting
to a final. That's one of my goals every year, to try and get to the finals.
Who are your best friends on tour?
I get along well with the Americans because I live in the States, the Bryans,
Blake, Fish and all those guys. Then in Europe, my girlfriend's Spanish so I'm
getting along well with the Spanish guys. The Dutch and the Belgians always do
well and they're friends. You have a lot of friends. It's not like you go to
dinner every night with them but in the Players' Lounge you have a chat, play
some pool. (PS:這裡所說的女友,應該是前任的吧??不確定,再去問問XD)
I noticed that you have been playing more doubles during the last couple
of months. Have you got any ambitions in doubles or is it just for fun?
It's both. I want to win, but it's good for practice. Like here on grass, I get
more practice and it helps your returns, it helps your volleys and it helps
your singles game.
What have you been working on in your game to gear up for the grass court
season?
My strokes are going fine. I just have to go more to the net and finish the
point quicker instead of staying back, so I think it's just a matter of doing
that.
How is your health at the moment after what happened at Wimbledon last
year with your heart?
I had a procedure done just after the Australian Open because it happened once
more there, but it hasn't happened since. At the French I had a match that went
8-6 in the fifth set and didn't have any problems, so it's been fine for the
last six months. They went in with the electric and got some stuff away. It
wasn't an operation or anything, so it wasn't a big deal.(最好是這樣啦!!)
