Malisse賽後訪問
Q. Back with Nick.
XAVIER MALISSE: What's that?
Q. Back working with Nick?
XAVIER MALISSE: Yeah, Nick comes on the court when I'm practicing in Bradenton.
Not for that long, just a couple of pointers. It's going well,
you know. He's here for the matches, comes on the court for
practices a little bit. It works out well. You know, he's very
smart about tennis. He helps me a lot.
Q. How did you decide to reunite with him?
XAVIER MALISSE: I was kind of a little bit tired in the beginning of the season
. Wasn't that good. After the French Open, I just decided to
start working out again. I was hungry again for tennis. I
really wanted to enjoy it again. You know, Carlos, Jan, Mark,
all the guys around me with Nick. It works well. It's a good
team. We have fun. We laugh a lot. We work hard.
I think I was tired in the two and a half years I've been
playing. You know, I got it back.
Q. What happened in the second set?
XAVIER MALISSE: I don't know. I was 1-0 up, 2-1 with a break every time. You
know, same thing. It's 4-0 up. I was thinking a little bit too
much about it. Lost it a little bit for the four, five games.
Started getting foot faults, too. Everything started happening
in the second set. The breaker, he played well, served well.
That's how it goes. If you're not on top of it, guys take
advantage of it.
The good thing is I got it back on track in the third set. From
then on, everything went well.
Q. Did you think for a moment it was lost?
XAVIER MALISSE: No. I mean, when you lose a breaker, it's one set all. You know
, it's not a loss until you've lost the last point.
I felt good. I played a great first set. The second set, I let
it slip away. But I felt like I was the better player, like I
was playing well with the two breaks I had every time. You know
, I felt good.
Third set I played well again. Fourth set, he served better. He
played well, took some risks, hit the ball nice. You know, it's
all about the fifth set. I think I played very well in the
fifth set.
Q. Do you have a friendship with both Kim and Justine?
XAVIER MALISSE: Yeah, we've known each other for so long. I think I'm closer a
little bit to Kim because we were in the same Federation since
I was almost 11. But, you know, I traveled with Justine for the
Juniors and all that stuff. So, yeah, everybody gets along.
Q. There's a general sense that because they're now at the top, so competitive
with each other, that it's more difficult for them to be close friends. Is
that accurate?
XAVIER MALISSE: I don't think so. I think, of course, they both want to be
No. 1, they're so close. Well, Kim is No. 1 now. Justine is
right there.
I think they want to win. They have a rivalry going, which is
good. But I think at the end of the day, you know, they're
still good friends. They still get along. They have a lot of
respect for each other. I don't think there's any problem.
