這是tennis.com上面的文章
(很好，我終於開始上網球網站，看網球新聞了^^，結果發現輸球也沒那麼糟糕
 當賽季再度開始時，一切就會更美好。)

就是Peter Bodo對Sampras的談話，以下全文貼，摘譯一小部分的大意喔!!

Bodo的前言
Well, just  in case you think you've read  pretty much every possible take on
the recent men's Wimbledon final, I bring you this gem from Los Angeles via
the northerly outpost of Montreal. Let me just warn you: anyone who would get
his or her shorts in a bunch over this might be the only person on earth who's
a bigger tool than the dude who wrote the piece.

Personally, I find it hilarious - right up there with the time my sister (name
withheld to protect the guilty) admitted that she sat through This is Spinal
Tap and, thinking it was a documentary, couldn't understand why everyone was
laughing so hard.

Anyway, on to more worthy preoccupations. I spoke with Pete Sampras yesterday,
and he says "Hi' to all his fans at TennisWorld. Time out for a shameless
plug: the book we wrote together, A Champion's Mind, has been on the New York
Times best seller list (at no. 20, now 21) since shortly after it was
published. We talked mostly about the Wimbledon final, and his pal and hitting
buddy, Roger Federer

Sampras談比賽與Fed

So what did you think?對比賽的感想??

I thought it was great, maybe the best match I've seen in many, many years.
Two all-time greats, at their prime, playing great on the best court on earth.
if you wrote a script it couldn't have been any better - Roger coming back
from two sets to love, Nadal showing his heart. . . I thought it was great
tennis and great drama.
Pete多年來看過最好的比賽，兩個最好的球員在最好的球場比賽，沒比這個
更棒的劇本，是最好的網球，也是最好的劇本
最佳劇本獎

I think Roger handled himself with a lot of class. What I really liked is that
the match goes to show that when you come right down to it, great moments
aren't about controversy, and they aren't about personality. They're about two
great players who manage to reach beyond the usual audience for the game -
that's especially big in this country. It was impressive that two guys who
aren't American could capture the American sports fans that way. It was one
of those moments in all sports that we'll never forget.
Roger很有風度，兩個人都打出了超乎預期的比賽，非美國人在美國吸引了許多
運動迷，這是永遠都不會忘記的時刻之一

Did you talk to Roger, Pete?有跟Roger說話過嗎??

It wasn't the right time, I didn't think. But I did send him a text, and told
him, "Bad luck, too bad there had to be a loser in that one." I said he should
take pride in the way he and Rafa are taking the sport way beyond the usual
audience. He should feel great about that. He texted me back to say thanks.
時機不對，但有傳簡訊，Fed應該以自己的表現為傲，Fed有回傳說謝謝
說不定是Mirka回的 :p

I know it was disappointing for him, I'm sure hes still playing that match in
his mind. But in years to come, he'll look back on this match and appreciate
the moment. No question in my mind about that.
現在會難過，或許正在腦海裡重打這場比賽，但多年後，回頭看這場比賽，會感激。
不要重打太久~~硬地要開始了~

So do you think Roger needs to make any changes at this stage in his
career, given Nadal and Djokovic's emergence?
面對Nadal Djokovic的崛起，Roger要改變的??

I heard quite a few people saying he should come in more, serve and volley
more. But Roger is just so much better than anyone except Rafa from the
backcourt that you wonder if that would be a smart move. Sure he could attack
a little more, but I still feel that if you put Rog and Rafa on that Centre
Court 10 times, I think Roger wins 7 of them. He was right there with Rafa,
neck-and-neck, and that's the opposite of how it is on clay. Rafa's already a
legend on clay, but I'm sure Roger thinks he's still the better player on
grass, and I believe that's true. But Rafa showed that it now comes down to
form of the day, and on Sunday Roger just came up a little short.
不認為多發球上網會是個好主意，如果在草場上打仍認為Fed贏面多。

Do you think Roger should have a full time coach, for either technical or
emotional reasons?
你認為Roger需要全職教練嗎??技術上或情緒上的原因

No, I don't think he necessarily should. Everybody is different, and Roger's
won plenty of Slams on his own. Maybe that's more his comfort zone. On the
other hand, a coach can see things that a player can't,  and he can emphasize
things and come up with a plan when a player might just want to go out and
play his game.  I always found it valuable when Paul (Annacone, Sampras's
former coach) would say something like, "I think you should serve big to his
backhand at the start, just to plant a bug in his mind and open up the court,
then try to do most of your damage on the forehand side."
不一定需要，每個人都不一樣，但教練有他的幫助，舉自己跟前教練做例子

That kind of simple advice was always welcome to me, even if at the last minute
I didn't always carry it out. A coach can help, what, 2 per cent, for a player
of Roger's caliber? But then again - this match came down to that small a
difference between the guys. So who really knows.
教練所能幫助的有限，這場比賽兩人的差距很小，所以誰知道呢??

What I think is important, though, is to keep a perspective on this and not
over-analyze the match. Roger played well enough to win, only he didn't. On
another day, he does. Contrary to what a lot of people are saying, I think
Roger is having a good year, it's just that he's set such a high bar for
himself. But can anybody say he's fallen off the pace, or that his game has
holes in it? No way. He's right there, ready to strike, and he will - given
the opportunity.
重點是不要過度分析這場比賽，Roger打得夠好，只是沒贏。改天會贏。與他人
不同，仍然認為Roger有個美好的一年，只是他幫自己設的標準太高。但沒人能
說他下滑，他還在，準備出擊，而且他會。

Do you still expect Roger to break your Grand Slam singles title record
(14 titles)?
你仍然期待Roger可以破你的大滿貫冠軍紀錄嗎(14個冠軍)

Oh, absolutely.  It's inevitable. He'll be in contention for all the majors,
and he'll win a few more Wimbledons and U.S. Opens before he's done - no doubt
in my mind.
當然，他會在退休前多贏幾個美網溫網冠軍
澳網真的很容易被忽略 T.T

Do you plan to practice or play any exos with him, like you did last fall?
有計畫跟Roger練習或是打表演賽

We have nothing in the works. We talked about trying to put something together
for London, an exhibition or something, but we couldn't make it work,
schedules-wise. It would be nice to do it again, but right now Roger has other
fish to fry.
沒有進行中的，但有討論過要在倫敦打表演賽會什麼的，但是因為行程沒法成真，
而且Roger現在有他要做的事情

What do you think about the Olympics; is Roger making a mistake by taking
part, instead of concentrating on the U.S. Open, as Andy Roddick decided
to do?
對奧運的看法，Roger參加奧運而不專注在美網上是錯的嗎??

I think it's apples and oranges there. I think the Olympics is in Roger's
heart; it's a really big deal for him. Maybe it's because he's the (arguably)
greatest athlete ever produced in Switzerland, which is a small nation that
does a lot better in the Winter Games than the Summer Games. But the Summer
Games are bigger.
選擇問題。對Roger奧運很重要，或許因為他是瑞士的最好運動員。

It means a lot for Roger to be able to carry that Swiss flag, like he did at
the last Olympic Games. By contrast, Andy skipping the Olympics isn't that
big a deal. The Olympics aren't quite as important in the U.S. as elsewhere,
and the tennis event will be overshadowed because we have so many great
athletes in the other sports. The Olympic thing - it's either in your heart
or not.
能當瑞士掌旗手對Roger意義重大。

What are you doing in the near future, public appearance-wise?
問Sampras接下來要做什麼

I'll be on the Charley Rose show this Friday, promoting our book. I'll be
playing a senior event in London and a few one-night exhibitions, with Sam
Querrey and a few of the other guys. I'll stay busy, play a little bit. . .
要參加一個show推銷書，在倫敦打元老賽跟表演賽。

What major will you be attending next?你下一個出席的大滿貫??

The one where Roger is poised to break my record. I'm kind of selfish about
it, though - I told Roger that if that happens to be at the Australian Open,
I may not make the trip. It's far, I've logged a lot of miles in my life
going to tennis tournaments. I half-kiddingly told him he'll have to do it at
Wimbledon or the U.S. Open, so now we'll just have to see what happens.
Emotionally, I'd like to see him do it at either of those two places,
preferably Wimbledon. And  I want to be there out of respect
for him, but I also would like to go back to Wimbledon someday, because I
love that place.
會是Roger打破Sampras紀錄的大滿貫，但是不想是澳網，因為太遠了，曾經半開完
笑說最好是在美網或溫網。情感上也希望Roger能在溫網或美網做到。到時的出現
會是出於尊敬
本日最悲情:澳網~~XD
--
Sampras會不會很煩，大家都要問他Federer~~
說不定他也想要談談Nadal Djokovic之類的，
也說不定人家想談Ivanovic或Sharapova或威家姐妹啊，

Sampras跟Federer被連結起來了~~
