Q:對於你今天的表現高興嗎？
A:整個過程中還不差，對我而言，進入第三輪的感覺很棒
Q:對於Justin Gimelstob有什麼想法？
A:Yeah, 他從會外賽一路打上來。特別是今天一場重大的勝利，擊敗了Massu
我知道草地可能不是 Massu 喜歡的場地，但他在任何場地都是有力的競爭者
所以 Justin 今天一定是打的非常出色，以四盤的比數擊敗他，我非常期待
下一輪的挑戰
Q:從台維斯盃來看，Mark 慢慢找回昔日狀態，是否也激勵了你？
A:當然，很高興看到 Mark 表現的如我們知道的那麼好，在今天對 Marat 的比賽，
我看到他有很多機會。Marat 再任何場地都是一個堅強的對手，他火力十足。
兩個搶七局最後可能會有相反的結果，也有可能是個不同的故事了。
Q:在休戰了一段時間後，現在你來到了溫布頓第二輪，你現在回到狀態了嗎？
A:我現在感覺很好，現在我不能再去抱怨任何事了。我的身體很好，讓這場艱難的
四盤比賽在我的掌控之下，但如果我想要在比賽中走的更遠，勢必要把我自己拉
到更好的水平。Yeah, 大滿貫賽的第一周，你一定要先通過幾場困難的比賽，
今天我很高興我通過了這場比賽，我有一個很好的開局，第二盤和第三盤有一些
失誤，但我還是能夠及時集中精神，在關鍵分數上發揮出色。
Q:在長時間休戰後，你認為哪一種場地最能讓一個選手找回狀態的？
A:可能是硬地
Q:怎麼說？
A:除非是阿根廷或西班牙球員，他們是紅土，其他大部分的選手，至少對我而言
因為我是在硬地長大，不論是移動或是擊球，我想是硬地球場較能找到節奏，
然而對於那些紅土專家，紅土球場當然是最能幫助他們找回狀態，因為他們不停
在滑步(笑)，那給他們很多的，你知道的，節奏，還有到球場上去，放幾百個小球(笑)
Q:剛剛BBC轉播，當鏡頭轉到你女朋友和家人時，Pat Cash 說了一句，我打賭她有子兒了
(I beat she's up the duff.) 我想知道你介意你女朋友被這樣說嗎？
A:他怎麼說？
Q:Pat Cash 當時正在評論這場比賽，當鏡頭轉到你女朋友，他以為mic關著，說了
"I bet she's up the duff." ，BBC為此道了歉，你介意她被這樣說嗎？
A:你知道的，Pat他，Pat他常常會有一些隨性的言論。Yeah, 我剛剛在休息室有和
Pat講過話，他沒提到這件事(笑)，我們是好夥伴，我非常尊敬他這個人
Q:你是不是想試著崇返澳洲體育榮耀，就像板球運動一樣？
A:不盡然，那是你們唯一贏過的東西嗎？
Q:你是板球迷嗎？
A:所有的澳洲人都熱愛板球，我們喜歡勝利
Q:你認為他們會贏得Ashes？
A:這是無庸置疑的
Q:再回到下一輪對手，你曾經在菜鳥時代和他交戰過，你還記得那場比賽的情形嗎？
A:Yeah,他的發球無移是他最強大的武器，他會常常發球上網，他在場上也很熱情，
他是那種在球場上總是會毫無保留的選手，我必須要在接發球和穿越球表現好，
而且要相當敏銳，那將不會是一場有太多來回對打的比賽。

L. Hewitt - Day 3
Wednesday, June 22, 2005
Q. Were you happy with the way you played?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Not too bad in patches. You know, for me it's just nice to
get through it and into the third round now.
Q. What are your thoughts on Justin Gimelstob?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, obviously he's come through quallies and then had
especially a good win today against Massu. I know it's not Massu's favorite
surface, but he's a tough competitor on any surface. You know, he's hungry
out there. He leaves everything out on the court. So Justin obviously had to
play extremely well to beat him in a tight four?set match.
I look forward to the challenge in the next round.
Q. Did you get a chance to catch up with Mark yet about his injury?
LLEYTON HEWITT: No, I haven't, no.
Q. From a Davis Cup point of view, does it encourage you that Mark is getting
back to something like his old form?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, it's great to see Mark playing like we all know he can,
and that he has for so many years. He had a lot of chances from what I saw and
heard out there today against Marat. Marat's a tough player on any surface.
He's got so much firepower.
Two tiebreaks could have gone either way. Could have been a different story.
Q. Personally, physically having had that break, coming in now second round
at Wimbledon, are you back A?Okay? Will you even feel fresher for having that
time off?
LLEYTON HEWITT: I don't know about "fresher," but I feel pretty good. I can't
complain right at the moment. The body feels good. Obviously, to get a tough
four?set match today under my belt, that's just going to hold me in better
stead for the longer I go in the tournament.
Yeah, you've got to get out of, you know, some tough matches in the first week
of all Grand Slams. Today it was nice to get out there. I got off to a good
start, you know, had a couple of lapses throughout the second and third set,
but I was able to concentrate when I needed to and play the bigger points well.
Q. After a long layoff, what do you think the easiest surface is to come back
on for a player?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Probably hard court.
Q. Why would that be?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Well, for most guys, unless you're Argentinian or Spaniard,
obviously clay. A lot of guys ?? for me, personally, because I grew up on
hard court, so movement?wise, ball striking, it gives you a lot of rhythm I
think on a hard court.
But then again, the clay court specialists, clay is probably the easiest for
them to come back purely because they're sliding. For them, that gives them a
lot of rhythm, you know, going out there and hitting hundred?ball rallies.
Q. During the BBC coverage, the cameras were on your girlfriend and your
family. Pat Cash was heard to remark, "I beat she's up the duff." I just
wonder if you mind your girlfriend being talked about like that?
LLEYTON HEWITT: What did he say?
Q. Pat Cash was commenting on the game. The camera came across your girlfriend.
He remarked, thinking his microphone was off, "I bet she's up the duff." The
BBC apologized for that. I wonder if you mind her being talked about like that?
LLEYTON HEWITT: You know, Pat's ?? Pat always comes out with some loose
comments now and then. Yeah, I was talking to Pat in the locker room just
before. He obviously didn't bring that up (laughter). We're obviously pretty
good mates. You know, I've got a lot of respect for him as a person.
Q. No offense taken?
LLEYTON HEWITT: No, not from me.
Q. Do you feel like you're trying to restore a bit of lost Aussie sporting
pride the way the cricketers started off at all?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Not really. Is that the only thing you guys have won?
Q. Early days.
LLEYTON HEWITT: Very early days, mate.
Q. Are you a cricket fan?
LLEYTON HEWITT: I think any Australian likes cricket. We love winning.
Q. Do you think they'll come back and win the Ashes?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Got no doubt.
Q. No doubt?
LLEYTON HEWITT: No doubt.
Q. How long have you had it over here, the Monaro? Do you get it to take it
for burns much?
LLEYTON HEWITT: No, it's not mine. My coach's fiancee actually has a dealership
with Holden. Her father has a dealership with Holden in Adelaide. Roger got
the car to drive around for a couple of weeks.
Q. Does it turn heads when you're driving it?
LLEYTON HEWITT: I haven't driven it.
Q. Going back a fair way against Gimelstob, but anything ?? you were a young
bloke when you played him. Can you remember anything of those matches?
LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, his serve's obviously his biggest weapon. He's going to
serve?volley a hell of a lot. He plays with a lot of passion out there, as
well. He's a guy that's always going to leave everything on the court. I'm
going to have to return well and pass well and be very sharp out there. It's
not going to be a long rallies against Justin.
