Jankovic 八強賽後訪問
http://tinyurl.com/2v3p9c
Q. Great defense today. Unbelievable defense. When is the last time you
played that much defense or had to scramble to get so many balls back?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, I don't know. It was just -- Vaidisova is a player who
serves well, and she plays the short points. She just hits the good serve,
and she waits for an easy ball, and then she just hits it hard. And she wants
to finish the point so early.
And I didn't have a chance, other than I have to bring her balls back in
order to come back in the point and try to do something with the ball.
But I was moving really well today, and I tried to defend her balls. And
that's mainly what the key of the match was. I was just retrieving well, and
happy to be in the semifinal for the first time here in Paris.
Q. How happy you are to be in the semifinal?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, it's a great result for me. But I had such a tough
draw. I think the top half is, for sure, the toughest. Because you have
Serena, Henin, and Vaidisova, and also Venus. All of these players are in the
same side of the draw; it's not so much fun. But that's a lot.
And next round will be also very tough. But I try to do my best.
Q. Justine is the only player who beat you on clay this year. You said
several times you don't like to be in the same part of the draw. So are you
expecting Serena to win?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Is she winning?
Q. Losing.
JELENA JANKOVIC: Who? Serena win?
Q. No, she's down a break.
JELENA JANKOVIC: Oh, it's okay. I will try to do my best. I've never beaten
her before. I will try to find a way somehow to win. And I will try to make
the good tactic for her. I think I can do it; it's just a matter of staying
concentrated and being mentally tough.
Because I feel that I'm really, physically very fit, and I feel like I move
so well on the clay.
Q. You and Ana both won today. Novak is still in the tournament. Is this like
a special moment?
JELENA JANKOVIC: A Serbian power or something, that wherever you go you see
just Serbians (laughing). Wherever you go, it's just Serbians all over the
place, winning all these matches. It's just incredible. I'm just proud of
that, and just, hopefully, we can keep going.
Q. Do you see any of that in the street? Do Serbian people see you and
recognize you in the streets in Paris?
JELENA JANKOVIC: In Paris, I haven't had the chance to walk around on the
street so people can recognize me. I'm always mainly locked up, trying to
concentrate and do my own things.
Q. How many Serbians are there in Bradenton?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I really don't know. I haven't been there much lately. All I
know is Serbia. I spend more time in Serbia, nowadays.
Q. Do you have to do something about getting your serve a little bit quicker
and a little bit more accurate? It's okay through the first four rounds, but
now that you face the very best players, how much of a problem could that be?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Me and my serve, it's just unbelievable. I have to really
work on my serve. But at the moment, who knows. I am now four or three in the
world with this serve. Can you imagine if I had a bigger serve, so what I
would do to these girls, but...(laughing).
No, I am just kidding. I am just trying to work on this serve. But everybody
has their weaknesses, their weapons in their games. So nothing -- you cannot
have all weapons. You cannot have all so good shots. But I am trying to
improve this, and some things cannot happen overnight.
Q. You have a great fighting spirit on the court, and in here you have a
great spirit.
JELENA JANKOVIC: For sure.
Q. And a humorous spirit. Isn't there a contradiction in there somewhere?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I really don't know. I'm a girl, I like to win, for sure. I
always give my best, and I fight until the end. I never want to let the
opponent get on top of me. I'm just there to fight and really give my all on
the court. Off the court, I am an outgoing, fun person, and that's my
personality, for sure.
Q. Yesterday, when Djokovic won his match, in the press room, there were so
many Serbians celebrating. How many of them are there in the stadium?
JELENA JANKOVIC: There were a lot of people, actually. Yesterday, there was a
girl who won in Eurovision, the singer, which was very great. And a lot of
famous people coming from Serbia. It's just a little -- also the soccer
player Stojkovic-Piksi, if you know. It's just a little group of Serbians,
famous people. It's just great that they come and they watch us. It means a
lot to us. I was really happy for Novak, that he won yesterday. Hopefully he
can as well get in the semifinals. It would be a great achievement for the
Serbia.
Q. When you won at the same moment, did you have the opportunity to meet her
in the locker room afterwards and talk to her?
JELENA JANKOVIC: No, she was in Chatrier and I was in Lenglen, which is a
long way. And the woman from the media kept going after me, "Hurry up, hurry
up, you have to be on time." You can see, I didn't brush my hair. She's like,
"You need to be there 1:30."
I'm like, "Okay, I will try my best."
Q. What about looking forward to play against her in the final? Of course
it's too early, maybe, to say, but it could happen.
JELENA JANKOVIC: Now I'm in the semifinal. I still have -- everybody in the
beginning of the week when I play my first round, you're favorite to win the
French Open, you are this, you are that. So many expectations. But I said to
myself when I would be holding the trophy, then I am the favorite. Then I won
the tournament, and for sure, I did this.
But before that, I don't want to think too much of that. I'm just focused on
my next match. I'm really glad to be in the semifinal for the first time. I
have a difficult opponent who I have to really give my best if I want to win,
and I'm just very excited, and hopefully I can do it.
