http://www.tennis.com/news/news.aspx?id=141386 Nadal aims to add Olympics to list of accomplishments MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Rafael Nadal has two major achievements so far this year -- he took the Wimbledon title by beating Roger Federer in an epic final and stacking up enough titles to unseat the Swiss star atop the rankings. Now the 22-year-old Spaniard is aiming for Olympic glitter to his trophy room which already brims with the laurels of 30 titles including five Grand Slam events and 12 Masters series victories. "I'm going to really enjoy the Olympic atmosphere, I'm sure, and I'm out to try and win a medal," Nadal told the Associated Press in an exclusive telephone interview Sunday. "It's an honor to represent your country and I look forward to taking part," Nadal said before catching a 13-hour flight to the Chinese capital. In addition to Wimbledon and the French Open, Nadal has won the Conde De Godo, Hamburg, Monte Carlo, and Queen's tournaments this year. In two weeks Nadal will automatically appear on the Aug. 18 rankings as No. 1, breaking Federer's record 235 consecutive weeks tenure. "I feel pretty much as I did yesterday morning, or last year," he said. "It's another step in a long process which has taken a lot of very hard work and which really started coming together about four or five years ago." Nadal, who began playing tennis in the village of Manacor on his native Mediterranean island of Mallorca, said no one should underestimate Federer's ability to fight back. "The whole world needs to continue seeing him as the enormous champion he has been and quite definitely still is," Nadal said. Nadal's on-court style has been called muscular and aggressively physical compared to Federer's, which is referred to as elegant and athletically economical in movement. "People tend to talk about how my style leads to injuries, but I think they have got that wrong. I have only really had one troubling injury and that was in 2005." Nadal suffered a persistent left foot injury after playing at the Madrid Masters, which forced him to withdraw from several matches including the 2006 Australian Open. Blisters have also been a recurring problem. "I have worked hard on my game and feel much better about my ability to cover the court," Nadal said. Nadal, who until this year had been considered a clay-court specialist, proved the point by winning on grass at Queen's and Wimbledon. "Wimbledon has been an incredibly hard experience for me, but this year I managed to do it better. I managed to win," Nadal said. Nadal beat Federer in an epic 4-hour, 48-minute battle of wills, winning 9-7 in the fifth set. "Wimbledon is special, it was a very special experience for me." Remarkable as Nadal's progress has been, the soon-to-be top player in the world thinks he still needs to improve his game. "Every morning I wake up with clear goals in my head on how I need to improve my game," Nadal said. "I want to become a better tennis player." 大綱： 1.這小孩對奧運興致勃勃，簡直是興奮......(嘆~你喜歡就好) (只是要先把身體顧好，不然我會去北京把你綁回來台灣休息XDXD) 2.這小蠻牛認為另一隻奶牛仍然是(原音播出比較生動XD) "The whole world needs to continue seeing him as the enormous champion he has been and quite definitely still is," "no one should underestimate Federer's ability to fight back." (有沒有這麼乖的小孩啊…這種時候就算是真的...→因為他們本身都是頂尖選手，按照一般人的天性也該順腳踹幾下啊.. ╮(╯_╰)╭ 3.這小孩知道一堆人總是談論他的打球風格很容易受傷(看吧看吧~你不會也不願看衰別人，可是一堆人都看衰兼巴不得你快受傷喔…這個世界就是這樣…) 但真正的事實是，只有在05年馬德里左腳受傷，因而因傷退賽澳網的那次，是真正困　擾他的一次受傷。 4.小孩子仍然很努力地使自己能夠在網球場上的能力，能夠覆蓋到每一部份*全面 "每早晨，當我醒來時，都伴隨著更清楚確定增進我比賽的目標。" "我要成為更棒的網球選手"。 -- 色不迷人人自迷 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.225.12.169
