[澳網] 2nd Round Andy def. Rusedski 訪問
A. RODDICK/G. Rusedski
6 0, 3 6, 6 2, 6 3
THE MODERATOR: First question, please.
Q. Did it turn out to be easier than you expected?
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, I mean, you never expect to play nights like that. I saw
the stat sheets, 50 winners and 8 errors, or something
obnoxious like that. You don't really expect that, especially
going against a guy like Greg who makes it extremely
uncomfortable out there.
Q. When was the last time do you think you returned and passed as consistently
well as you did tonight?
ANDY RODDICK: Well, maybe probably here when I played Taylor last year. Beat
him 2, 0 and 2. These matches were pretty similar, I think. I
felt like I was seeing the ball pretty well from early on and,
you know, I tried not to second-guess it.
Q. He started with two great serves right away and then you nailed him. From
that moment on, your intent was pretty evident.
ANDY RODDICK: Well, my intent ?? my intent is always there. It's just the,
you know, kind of--making that intent go to work for you. You
always want to return that well and play that well. But, you
know, tonight it was just clicking for me.
Q. How are things going with Dean? I know it's kind of new. You still feeling
each other out?
ANDY RODDICK: No, you know, we had a relationship before we got together, I
mean, with the Olympics and with Davis Cup, you know. So I was
pretty comfortable with Dean from the get-go. We're pretty
low-key. We work hard. Kind of stay mellow. It's going well.
I'm really happy with the team I have around me right now.
Q. You've got a third left-hander in a row.
ANDY RODDICK: There's like four on tour these days and I got three of them
(smiling).
Yeah, Jurgen is extremely talented. We all know that. He's going
to come out, he's going to hit some amazing shots. I kind of
just have to try to stay the course, you know, stay solid, try
to hold on to my service games.
Q. Could you perhaps give us a word about Greg. He's coming up to 32 this year.
Still serves pretty well, still in there. Hits a pretty good ball. Could he
still, do you think, contend-not for Grand Slams, necessarily.
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah. Well, he's still there. Yeah, I think he can. I mean,
with, you know, with his aggressive mindset, with his serve, you
know, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to. You know, it's not
like, you know, back-court movement is totally a key part of his
game. You know, as long as he can hit that serve and hit a
first volley, he's going to beat a lot of guys.
Q. Apologies if you answered this...
ANDY RODDICK: I forgive you.
Q. One set all, did you think, "What just happened here"?
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, it was a little weird because I felt like I had almost been
dominating the match to that point. All of a sudden we're one
set all. You he know, it didn't seem right, but I just kind of
tried to regroup and, you know, really try to stay the course in
the third set because otherwise it could have gotten away from
me. So I think it was good to kind of stay calm and regroup.
Q. Those two net cords in the sixth game.
ANDY RODDICK: Yes, that's just lucky. There will be some time this year where
I'll have something like that go against me. You know, was just
lucky. It's unfortunate for him.
Q. Have you been involved with any of the tsunami relief efforts that are on
the tour?
ANDY RODDICK: Yes. I did an event with Reebok when I first got here where we
ended up raising $10,000. Lleyton, Roger and I all donated stuff
for auctions. When we get back to the States, I think they're
going to release the press release in the next couple days, but
we're doing an event in Houston with myself, Jim Courier,
John McEnroe and Chris Evert. Proceeds will go to that as well.
Q. When will that be?
ANDY RODDICK: Really soon. I think the Tuesday after here. I'll be flying
straight back, getting off the plane, walking onto the court,
playing. Then got a nice two-and-a-half-hour drive home.
Hopefully. Hopefully, that's the way it works out. Got to think
positively.
Q. Are you going to spend more time now again in Florida because Dean is there?
How will that work?
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, probably. I was there for a week. Got there on New Year's
Day. I was there for seven days. You know, I understand that he
has a family and, you know, he needs to see his kids. So we'll
definitely, you know, probably go half and half on it. I'll be
spending a lot of time in Boca most likely-or more time.
Q. Pleased a lot with your footwork tonight?
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah. It's something, you know, we went at it in the off-season.
You know, we hit it pretty good. I think it's showing out there.
I'm moving a lot--almost lighter, without forcing it as much. I
can kind of feel it. It felt good out there tonight.
Q. Have you played in many matches four sets, an hour and 30 minutes? It seemed
very quick.
ANDY RODDICK: Never, no. If I was going to do it, it would be with someone
like Greg where the points are going to go fast on both sides.
So it's not totally shocking, but I haven't played that before.

花 開在太陽下 等著情人呀 努力盛開卻 等不到它
雨 突然一直下 打亂著花嫁 騙自己它就要 到了
可以哭 卻還拼命的掙扎 說什麼 只會讓人當笑話
愛 是花兒的芬芳 是 蝴蝶的翅膀 是 傷心的蒲公英迷失它的方向
愛 在孤獨中絕望 在絕望中堅強 堅強後繼續不停 想著它
