[KIM ] Indian Wells 第二輪賽訪
K. CLIJSTERS/A. Kudryavtseva
6-2, 6-0
Q. Were you satisfied with the match, the way you played?
對於今天的比賽內容滿意嗎?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I mean, everything could be better, of course. But for a
first match, I'm at a stage now where I haven't played for a while, and when
I was playing, my last few tournaments were indoors. So I kind of just have
to get back into playing outdoors again and big arenas, and kind of, yeah,
just get a feel for it all over again because it's been a while. I was happy
to be playing out on center court and to be playing kind of in the sun in the
beginning of the match and then when the court was covered by the shade, so
to get a feel for both a little bit.
我覺得在各方面自己可以做得更好,不過有一小段時間沒打比賽了,而前幾個比賽是在室
內,所以我得重新找回在室外大球場打球的感覺。我很高興一開始可以在陽光下進行比賽
,但過一會兒陰影蓋住了球場。
Q. What are your thoughts about Serena being off the tour and struggling
with such a serious setback?
對於Serena在重返球場過程中遭遇到如此嚴重的挫折有什麼看法?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, what are my thoughts? I mean, you know, obviously it's
something that is life threatening. It's not something that, you know, has
nothing to do with being an athlete. This is, yeah, life. Of course it
makes you think about yourself a little bit and focus on those kind of
things.
很明顯地,這關係到生命安全,這件事情讓運動員們更加用心思考這類問題
Because, I mean, I've never heard or thought that, you know, athletes you
know, you think you play well and you take care of yourself that athletes
could get something like that. But obviously in situations like that when
you're injured, you don't do as much as you probably should with her foot
either. She was off, she wasn't able to do the running that she usually
does, and it's tough.
因為我從來沒想過運動員會發生這種事,我們試著打出好球並且保持健康,以Serena腳傷
的情況,她不能夠像往常一樣在場上奔跑,這是個艱難的狀況。
You know, so it just shows you that the lifestyle that we live, it's not an
easy lifestyle. You know, with the traveling and with whether it's jet lag,
working out, working hard, and being tired at points, it puts a lot of strain
on your body.
這件事反映出我們的生活型態,這不是簡單的生活。當在各地征戰,克服時差、努力比賽
時,在某些時間點上會覺得疲憊,這些都讓我們的身體很緊蹦 。
I think it's also a good lesson for the rest of us that, you know, when we
all just stop playing at some point in our careers, you know, we have to be
very careful. You know, we have to make sure that we stay active and that we
don't go from being, you know, an active person to not doing anything at all,
because I think that's where, you know, we're a high risk factor for those
kind of injuries.
我覺得這件事也給我們很重要的一課。當沒有打比賽的時候,我們同樣要非常小心並且讓
身體維持在良好的狀況,因為這些傷勢是有風險的。
Q. And in terms of the WTA and women's tennis...
對於WTA的影響?
KIM CLIJSTERS: You know, Serena, to me, is the best player ever. So to not
have her around, you know, and especially, you know, when we're playing in
the States, and, you know, those big tournaments even in Australia and
those kind of tournaments I mean, she should be a part of the draw. You
know, she's such a big personality and player. You know, I like having her
around just for the fact that because she's the best player out there, and
you want to I just look at it selfishly. For the amount of time that I'm
still playing, I want to try, for that last year and a half or so, I want to
try to have her around and try to play some good matches against her.
Serena對我而言是巡迴賽中最好的球員,在這樣的大比賽,甚至是澳網,我們習慣在籤表
中看到她的名子,她是一個如此具有個人風格的球員,我喜歡有她在的比賽,因為她是最
棒的。目前我仍然在打,在過去的一年半,我試著跟她打出一些好的比賽。
Q. You said she was the best ever, so you view her as better than Steffi or
Martina?
你說Serena是最好的球員,所以你認為她比Graf和Hingis都好囉?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, I think so. I think she you know, obviously we all
learn from our previous generations, and I think obviously, you know, Steffi
you know, I'm sure that Richard has used Steffi or things that she did,
her footwork, to teach Venus and Serena. So I think we all have our history
or players that we looked up to. But I think Serena as an overall athlete,
power, speed, is, yeah, I mean, a step ahead, I think, of everybody.
是的,當然我們都從我們前一個世代的球員身上學習,Richard當然用了Steffi的表現以
及她的腳步、移位等等,來教Venus和Serena。對於過去,我們都有自己崇拜的球員,但
我覺得Serena是一個全面的運動員,不管是力量、速度等,都領先我們每個人
Q. We saw you watching Flipkens with your daughter, and we heard her say, Go
Flipkens. Does she watch tennis or play tennis herself?
我們看到你和Jada一起看Flipkens比賽,也聽到Jada幫Flipkens加油,她會自己一個人看
球或是玩嗎?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I don't think she really enjoys she knows Kirsten very
well, and she plays with Jada a lot. So I think that's like why she's
excited to see someone out there who she knows well, and that's why it was,
yeah, it was fun for her to come out. But it was getting a little hot, so we
left after the first set.
我不覺得她樂在其中,她和Kirsten很熟也常常一起玩,所以我認為那是為什麼Jada看到
他們會很興奮的原因,把她帶來球場總是很有趣,不過這裡越來越熱,所以我們在第一盤
結束後就離開了
Q. Where is she now at her cognition, her knowledge of you, of mommy as a
tennis player?
在Jada的認知中你是媽媽還是網球選手?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, mommy plays tennis, and that's about as far as it goes.
You know, I mean, I know when my dad was playing soccer, to me it was the
most normal thing in the world. You know, I would go to school, I would go
to practice, and then later that night our dad would come home from practice
or from coaching. So it was all very yeah, I mean, it's a part of your
lifestyle. We don't make a big deal out of it, so why would she do that?
是會打網球的媽咪XD就像我知道我爸爸是足球員一樣。我以前去上學、去訓練,然後晚
上爸爸結束訓練或教練工作後就會回家。這只是一個生活型態,我們並沒有在這方面花太
多功夫,所以她不會有這個煩惱
Q. You got off the tour, came back, and said you were quite surprised how
well you played, your success. Do you think there is another level that you
can go up? Because you've done a miraculous job coming back.
你曾經暫別網壇,然後復出,也曾說過很驚訝能在這麼短的時間內回到巔峰,你認為自
己還能再更上層樓嗎,因為你的復出是如此的成功
KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, I mean, that's what I at least try to work on every
time I step out into the gym or out on the tennis court, because I still feel
there is a lot of details that I can improve on. Same as my physique. There
are a lot of things I still feel I can improve when I work with my fitness
trainer or my coach. Why not?
當然,至少當我每次踏入健身房或走上球場練習時,我仍然覺得自己還有很多小地方可以
改進,例如體格方面,所以我和我的體能訓練師及教練一起努力。
I think everybody can always improve, you know. Talk to Nadal; talk to
Federer. They all can all improve, even they can. That's what kind of keeps
me going now, as well. At this stage, it's the little details you try to
improve, still. Yeah.
我覺得每個人都可以不斷地進步,就拿Nadal、Federer來講,他們總是努力地讓自己變得
更好,那也是我正在做的。在這個階段,我持續在一些小細節方面做些改善。
Q. So how much now being in a basketball family do you get into March
Madness and Nova, and do you follow it? What's wrong with Nova, by the way?
所以你有在密切注意March Madness(美國的大學男籃錦標賽)嗎?Nova哪些部分做得不太恰
當?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Of course. I'm not an expert on that kind of but, I mean,
my husband, you know, he's obviously a big fan and he follows it. I have
been to one of the Nova games. Last year we went. We were supposed to go
this year, but I stayed home in Belgium a little bit longer. My husband
went.
當然我不是這方面的專家,不果我老公是他們的愛好者,去年我有去觀賞過一次比賽,本
來今年還要再去看的,但我在比利時稍微待久了一些,不過我老公有去
I loved it. I loved being out there. I loved the whole atmosphere. When I
came to the States, you know, before I kind of met Brian, you know, I used to
follow the NCAA tournament, and I didn't quite get why everybody was making
such a big deal out of it. I was like it's kids. They're going to school.
You try to compare it to when I was in school. But obviously seeing it
through an American's eyes, I totally get the hype, and, you know, why
everybody is so behind it. You know, obviously Jada has a Nova shirt and has
the Lynch 21 on her back. So, yeah.
我很喜歡,我喜歡那裏的氣氛,當我抵達那個州,在見到Brian前,我就有在看NCAA錦標
賽了,不過我不懂為什麼這裡的人這麼注重這個比賽,在我還是學生時曾試著對他們做過
比較,但從美國人的觀點,我終於可以體會他們為什麼這麼嗨,你知道嗎,Jada也有一件
背後印有Lynch 21的T恤呢!
Q. Is it a little bit like football in Belgium at all?
是不是有點像比利時的足球?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, yeah, I think so. Obviously I think you know what I
love to see is that they what I love so much about the kind of system is
how much they support the sports here, you know, from a young age.
的確如此,我喜歡看到他們對於運動的支持,特別是對年輕球員
I think that's something that any country can learn from. I think Australia
comes pretty close, as well. I think the sport, the way that they promote
sports here I think is incredible. I think that's something that, you know,
both myself and Brian, that we really look up to, and I think is important
for our children, too.
每個國家都可以從這個活動學到一些經驗,我覺得澳洲已經很接近了,我和Brian都很佩服
他們,這對我們的小孩也非常重要
