DAY 8 It's hard to find his backhand when you can't get your racquet on the ball... really, it was a little out of my control. Lleyton Hewitt admits he did not get the chance to attack Younes El Aynaoui's weakness. I hope I didn't give away all the power I have - there are still more matches left. Younes El Aynaoui admits beating Hewitt took a lot out of him. Midway through the third set I was thinking if there was a flight out tonight or tomorrow. Andy Roddick reveals a crisis of confidence after fighting back to beat Mikhail Youzhny. I mean, it's really a great life. It's a perfect life. Right now, I just enjoy staying on the court and playing the tennis. Rainer Schuettler counts his blessings after beating James Blake in the fourth round. He fights hard and it's definitely tough to play someone, in a three-out-of-five-set match, who's just going to run down every ball. It's very frustrating. Understandably Blake was not feeling quite so chipper after the match. It's definitely very hot out here. It is hard to breathe but I love it, I love the heat. Serena Williams has no problem coping with the extreme heart affecting Melbourne on Monday. DAY 9 I've put in very little practice over the last four months, very little training. I'm playing tennis when I'm back home with the college guys that I coach. Wayne Ferreira reveals the secret of his success. I was sure I was going to be better today for sure because I slept a little bit better last night and had a lot of massage. Justine Henin-Hardenne explains how she got over a three-set marat hon with Lindsay Davenport. No, I don't prefer a five-setter. I prefer to win in straight sets , ideally 6-0 6-0 6-0. Andre Agassi refutes the suggestion that he will suffer from too m any easy matches. I don't know who will be playing Andre in the semi-final but it's going to be a tough match for him anyway. Sebastien Grosjean does not hold out much hope for Agassi's next o pponent. I don't know if I served that well but did you see that one at 201? I thought 'wow' and I got a bit distracted by it and had to tell myself to refocus. Venus Williams cannot believe her own strength.... You feel like you have your chances, and then somebody serves like 200km an hour. There's not much you can do about it. ....and neither can Daniela Hantuchova. DAY 10 My respect level for him just grew and grew through the match. Andy Roddick praises Younes El Aynaoui after their marathon quarter-final which ended 21-19 to Roddick in the fifth set. They stayed five hours in front of the TV - I think they were more tired than I was. El Aynaoui says his family found it just as hard going as the players. This day is the first day that I'm actually feeling like Serena Williams. It's bad news for the rest as the world number one starts to feel on top of her game. It's like a dream come true. Shock semi-finalist Rainer Schuettler gets his achievement in perspective. I think right now Kim is the best player in the world. Anastasia Myskina, beaten by Kim Clijsters in the quarter-finals, suggests the tournament is not just about the Williams sisters. I still think Serena and Venus are the toughest girls to play. Clijsters is not entirely in agreement. DAY 11 "I'm a fighter....I didn't come all these miles to lose." Serena Williams reflects on her stunning comeback against Kim Clijsters. "She just started playing so much more aggressively and hardly mad e any unforced errors any more." Kim Clijsters prefers to praise Serena Williams rather than blame herself after her semi-final defeat. "I think I'm doing good....the only time I'm making errors is when I rush myself, but it's in my nature to play an aggressive game." Venus Williams is in positive mood ahead of her Australian Open fi nal against sister Serena. "I could not take my opportunities - and with my physique that will always cost me dear against these strong players." Justine Henin-Hardenne, who stands at just 5ft 6in, realises that size sometimes does matter against the 6ft 1in Venus Williams. "I don't like to bring my work home." Serena Williams won't be talking to sister Venus about their Australian Open final clash. DAY 12 When I came here I didn't even think about making the final Rainer Schuettler is as amazed as everyone else after claiming a place in the men's final. I wasn't going to pull out of another Grand Slam - it wasn't going to happen Andy Roddick on playing through the pain barrier of a wrist injury . I hope next year Venus and Serena don't play Paola Suarez hopes for an easier run in 2003 after defeat by the a ll-conquering Williams sisters in the women's doubles final. We were pretty much down for the whole match until all of a sudden we were up 5-3 Venus Williams makes light of the sisters' comeback. DAY 13 I think in order to win four Grand Slams in a row, you have to be pretty serious. Serena Williams is in no doubt that she deserves to be recognised as a fully-fledged Grand Slam champion. The first thing I'll do is go to McDonalds. I want my cheeseburger with French fries and a soda. Venus Williams' response to losing her fourth consecutive Grand Sl am final to sister Serena. I thought maybe I could do something like this before the end of my career but I've done it after two years - that's unbelievable to me. Michael Llodra on winning the men's doubles title with Fabrice San toro. Whoever we play, they seem to play the match of their lives. Mark Knowles cannot believe it as he and Daniel Nestor lose their sixth Grand Slam final. DAY 14 My goals are so in front of me that I can't pull myself out of it, it takes me some time. I am very proud of it, no question. It is a great feeling right now Andre Agassi struggles to put his thoughts into words as he consid ers his eighth Grand Slam title win. I think I played a great tournament. I played two great weeks. For me it was a dream. It's great to play a final in a Grand Slam Beaten finalist Rainer Schuettler looks on the bright side despite winning just five games in the final. She's not too pleased about that, but hopefully I'll have 50 years with her to be mad at me about more things. Count on me to work on it Agassi admits that he may struggle to persuade wife Steffi Graf to fulfil their pact of competing in the French Open mixed doubles i f he won the title. I certainly didn't think that I would still be playing at this age . When I was growing up I wanted to be the youngest to win something, not the oldest Martina Navratilova celebrates becoming the oldest player to win a Grand Slam title, at the age of 46. She and partner Leander Paes won the mixed doubles title. Martina said earlier today that she won her first Grand Slam in 19 73. I was born in that year Leander Paes reminds Navratilova just how old she is. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.217.137.10
