Q:第一盤前四局，是否如你近來的表現一樣的好？
A:Yeah, 有一點。一開始他有一點猶豫不決。第一局，他發出了兩個雙誤，
  讓我有機會破發，但，you know, 你並沒有太多機會去破他的發球，
  所以當你一有機會，就一定要好好把握。
  所以，我很開心有這麼好的開局。但，you know, 只有第一盤是如此。
  我覺得打Taylor，或像Taylor這種選手，今天第一盤的比賽就相當重大，
  You know, 那必須都在我的控制之下。從那之後，我覺得整場比賽就在我的掌控之中，
  you know, 有時候獲得一些機會，並穩穩的掌握。

Q:你可以從去年美網對Lopez那場比賽獲得什麼以應付下一輪？
A:Yeah, 有一點。(那場比賽)我打的非常非常的好，特別是比賽的一開始的時候。
  我表現的火力全開，而且，you know, 那晚我看球大的像足球一樣，(笑)
  他(Lopez)當然也打的相當好，而且他十分危險，you know,，特別是在快速硬地
  或是草地，還有，you know, 他的左手大力發球。他有前兩場重大的勝利，
  他不會輕易的被擊敗。

Q:你目前已經對西班牙選手有十一場連勝紀錄了。
A:幸運的是我錯過了紅土賽季。(笑)

Q:對於Lopez有什麼想法？他不是典型的西班牙選手。
A:不，他不是，他相當的不同，這也是為何他在草地球場如此的成功。
  You know, 我並不把它當作只是對另一個西班牙人的比賽，我只會專注於這是對Lopez
  的比賽，看它怎麼跟著我走。很顯然的，發球和正手拍是他最強悍的武器，他有相當
  優秀的反拍切球，而且對於一個高大的選手來說，他的移動相當好。所以，you know,
  他可以結合這些武器，打發球上網，或是停留底線。從這些觀點來看，他是相當不同
  於傳統的西班牙選手。

Q:你現在的狀況和當時你奪冠時做個比較？
A:這很難說。You know,取決於你要面對的對手。我覺得我擊球的感覺很好，我想我今天
  提升了一或兩個等級，這也是我非常需要的。我知道Taylor Dent是個非常危險的對手
  ，我也知道今天會是一場困難的比賽，我今天的確是在當我需要的時候，適時的提升
  我的表現。

Q:今天的比賽有一些改判，這是否讓你對線審少了一些信任和信心？
A:Yeah, 多少有一點。You know, 我只能在我的比賽裡說。

Q:在主審和司線員的水準是不是出了什麼問題？
A:Yeah, 他們也是人，You know, 也會犯錯。有的比賽整場都沒有改判或誤判，
  但也有時候你在巡迴賽裡，會遇到一場比賽有兩個到三個。
  我想，這視那場比賽的主裁判而定，有些可能會比較多一點改判，You know, 那很困難
  --在球場較遠的那一邊，尤其是快速的發球，或任何飛的很快的球，對於主裁判來說，
  要改判都很困難。

Q:Taylor 提到你對裁判施加壓力，甚至脅迫他們，即使你可能不是有意的。你認為這是
  造成改判的原因嗎?
A:我不這麼認為，No.

Q:你在球場上總是非常情緒化和激情，你可以回想有哪一些選手，和你一樣情緒外向的？
A:我猜現在可能有很多選手也是這樣，你可以看看新生代的Nadal(笑)

Q:Nadal在得分的時候比較情緒化，而比較少在判決的時候如此，這才是我更想提問的
A:Oh, well, 只有質疑幾個判決

Q:你認為是否你質疑判決的方式，給主裁判施加了一些壓力？
A:Not really. You know, Taylor 今天也同樣質疑了一些判決，雙方都是如此，
  今天當然也有很多判決是你不會去質疑的。

Q:你是否暗中慶幸你獲得的機會？
A:這很好笑嗎？ (笑) (Is that funny? )

Q:我認為這很有趣
A:很好。(笑) (Good!)我還是認為，仍然有一些問號，一些疑惑，可能存粹是因為我在
  進入這項大賽之前，沒有打過太多的比賽。you know, 第一週對我而言是特別的重要
  必須要想辦法通過這些比賽，而現在你來到要對抗那些鼎鼎大名的選手，面對真正的
  機會，--去挑戰冠軍的機會，那就是你要去打出你最好的網球的時候，我認為我的確
  提升了自己到另一個水平，但，you know, 要舉起獎盃，我還有好長的一段路要走。

Q:前進到第四輪，你在Ace排行榜裡排第九名，這個數據對你有什麼重要性？這數據是否
　對於草地上的成功有關係？
A:Well, you know, 這僅僅說明了我的發球局，因為在草地上我有更多的機會去破發球局
  即使面對Taylor Dent,  Justin Gimelstob，這麼優秀的發球選手，我仍然有很多機會
  如果我能更輕易的保住我的發球局，我全部的發球局，那麼這顯然對我很有幫助，特別
  是在這種場地。

Q:Ace 說明了你保持著你的發球狀態？
A:No. 我並不只是到球場上去打很多的Ace，那只是為了在我的發球局裡設定一些分數

Q:如果當你發了很多Ace，你會認為你打的很好嗎？你不把它視為一個數據？
A:我不把他看作是一個特別的數據，特別是對我而言，那只是為了在我的發球局裡獲得
  一些便宜的分數，提升一發進球率。

Q:你認為倫敦會是一個良好的奧運舞台嗎？在溫布頓打奧運比賽你會有什麼感覺？
  你認為英國人對國外選手友善嗎？
A:Oh, 我確定他們會的！像倫敦這種大城市，絕對能呈現了不起的奧運比賽，話說回來，
  我還沒看到所有的設施，對我而言有點難去評論網球設施以外的東西，但我們都清楚
  溫布頓和它的場地是多麼受人歡迎。溫布頓它本身就有很多傳統，它是否要和奧運搭起
  橋樑呢？我不知道。

Q:你是否認為球場速度慢了下來，就像其他選手說的？
A:在剛開賽的時候，我覺得對草地球場來說，有點慢，它們越來越快了，顯然是好天氣
  幫了忙，這整個賽事期間，我們都很幸運老天的好天氣，球場一天比一天更快了。

Q:除了努力去贏得冠軍之外，你認為還有什麼事成就這兩週的成功？
A:Yeah, of course. You know, 你可以上場去，而且每一場比賽都是很困難的，
  我到球場去，並期待著勝利，努力去贏球，但你知道，每一個對手都很難打敗，
  我的確很想舉起那座獎盃，但仍有三場比賽擋在我面前，隨著你在比賽中走的越遠，
  你的對手越難對付，所以，"成功"是一個困難的字眼，成功或失敗你如何劃定界線？
  你果你上到球場去，並且傾付出你的百分之百在比賽中，對我而言，那就是一個成功

Q:Lopez從沒遇過這種情形(打入大滿貫八強)，你是否能利用你們在經驗上的不同？
A:我不認為我有什麼可以利用的，You know, 我想在這種大場合在大球場，他必須穩定
  他的緊張，他已經擊敗了兩個危險人物Safin和Ancic，都是直落三，想必他把緊張處理
  的很好，對我而言，我比較不擔心他較沒大賽經驗的問題，他打過Davis Cup，一定
  非常清楚關鍵時刻的情形，我基本上會盡可能的在我的發球局裡讓他照我的方式走，
  並且在他的發球局試著找出弱點並善加利用。

Q:另外，Taylor提到，觀眾開始喜歡看到判決上的爭執，並喜歡球員表現一些情緒，
  你同意這個看法嗎？
A:我不知道觀眾是否喜歡，Yeah, 在激烈的比賽當中，我們會很不認同某些改判，
  想去質疑，而觀眾也會有一點參與其中，我不知道觀眾是否喜歡球員去挑戰裁判，
  也不清楚是不是每一個比賽每一情形都是如此。

Q:判決的爭議是否會激勵你打的更好，或者帶給你負面的影響？
A:當然有些時候會是正面的幫助，有時候是負面的影響，今天我能夠發洩的很好，
  並且專注在我的工作上，一點都不受到影響。當時我是一盤在手，破了一個發球局，
  我是試著要鞏固我在第二盤的領先，you know, 我只是不想要任何事物打斷我。

Q:你有一個強大的加油團，Kieran Perkins也在其中，你們有在你上場前互相鼓勵嗎？
A:我聽說他今天來了，但我還沒看到他也沒說到話

Q:他是你朋友？
A:Not really. 我不太認識Kieran，我只和他見過幾次面，他在泳池的優秀成績，
  他的確是我的一個大英雄

Q:關於腳誤，在這場比賽之前你有被抓過發球踩線嗎？這場比賽有七次。
A:過去某一場比賽被抓過兩次，Yeah, 今天是有點奇怪。全部只發生於同一人，
  這也是當時我對裁判的質疑。

Q:請你解釋一下，當你試著那些爭議不影響到你的比賽時，你說了什麼？
A:我試著不要任何事情影響我，只想著，好吧，那已經超出我的控制了，何必再去想呢？
　我想我今天把這種情形處理的相當好。

L. Hewitt - Day 7
Monday, June 27, 2005

Q. The first set, first four games, was that as good as you've played in a
while?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, a little bit. He started out a little tentative,
though. First game, he hit two double?faults for me to break serve. But,
you know, you don't get that many opportunities to break his serve, so
when you get those half chances, you really have to take them.

So in that sense, I was happy with the way I started. But, you know, I
didn't -- it was only going to be the first set. I felt playing Taylor,
you know, a guy like Taylor, the first set was going to be pretty big out
there today. You know, it was good to get that one under my belt. From then
on, I felt like I was in control of the match, you know, getting my
opportunities now and then as well.

Q. How much will you take out of the US Open last year against Lopez?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, a little bit, I guess. A big court. You know, I played
really well, especially at the start of the match. I came out of the blocks
firing. You know, I was seeing the ball like a football that night. In a big
situation.

He's obviously playing well, though. And he's dangerous, you know, especially
on a quicker hard court or a grass court, you know, with that big left-handed
serve. He's had two very good wins in his last two matches. He's no easy beat.

Q. You're in a string of winning matches against the Spaniards. You beat the
Spaniards maybe 11 times in a row.

LLEYTON HEWITT: Lucky I missed the clay court season (smiling).

Q. What can you expect with Lopez? He's not the typical Spanish player.

LLEYTON HEWITT: No, he's not. He's very different, and that's why one reason
he's succeeded so well on a grass court.

You know, I didn't have a clue of that. I won't be thinking about that going
into playing another Spaniard. I'll just be looking at Lopez' game, how that
matches up with mine, areas of his game that maybe I can exploit a little bit
more. Obviously his serve and his forehand are his two big weapons. He's got
a good slice backhand as well and he moves pretty well for a big guy. So,
you know, he can mix it up, serve?volley, stay back. In terms of that, he
is a lot different to the traditional Spanish players.

Q. How is your form in comparison to when you won the title?

LLEYTON HEWITT: It's hard to say. You know, a lot depends on the opponents
that you play. I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I think I went up
another notch or two today, which I needed to. So in terms of that, you know,
Taylor Dent's a dangerous player. I knew it was going to be a dangerous match
out there today. Felt like I went up a notch or two when I needed to.

Q. There were a lot of overrules out there today. Is that something that puts
you off? Do you lose faith and confidence in the linesmen when there's so many
overrules?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, a fair bit. They're been a few, though, all last week
as well. You know, I can only speak in my matches.

Q. Is that an issue? Is there something wrong with the level of umpiring and
linesmen?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, everyone's human. You know, you're going to make
mistakes. Some matches you go through a match without an overrule, and then
there's others where you'll go through a tournament where you'll have two or
three in every match.

I think sometimes, depending on the chair umpire that you have, occasionally
there's a few chair umpires out there that overrule a lot more than some other
guys and are probably open to overrule a little bit more.

You know, it's very hard if ?? anything on the far side of the court, you know,
especially serves or whatever going so fast, it's very hard for any chair
umpire to overrule those.

Q. Taylor suggested you put pressure on them, even intimidate umpires, even
if you're not doing it deliberately. Do you think that's a factor?

LLEYTON HEWITT: I don't think so, no.

Q. You're so emotional and intense out there. Could you reflect on there are
so few others at your level in terms of outward emotion like the old days
when there were so many.

LLEYTON HEWITT: There's probably more now, I guess. A lot of the younger guys
out there. You look at guys like Nadal coming up.

Q. Excuse me for interrupting. Nadal is very emotional about the points, but
less so about lines calls and the like. That's what I was referring to more
than just getting pumped up about a winner.

LLEYTON HEWITT: Oh, well, only questioned couple line calls today.

Q. Do you think the way you question the calls can put pressure on umpires or
not?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Not really. You know, Taylor questioned calls as well out
there today, so it's the same for both ends. There's a lot of calls out there
you don't question either.

Q. Are you getting sneakily confident about your chances here?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Is that funny?

Q. I thought it was funny. 

LLEYTON HEWITT: Good (smiling).

I still feel ?? obviously, it was a little bit of a question mark purely
because I hadn't played that many matches coming into this tournament - and
in such a big tournament. But, you know, the first week was especially, you
know, important for me to get through and just find a way to get through
those matches.

Now you come up against the name players, the real chances -- challengers for
the title. That's when you've got to play your best tennis. I felt like I went
up a notch today. But, you know, I'm still a long way from holding up the
trophy.

Q. Going into the fourth round, you're ninth in aces. How important do you
think that is or how telling a statistic is that to success on grass or not?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Well, you know, it is telling I think for my game purely
because I'm going to get so many opportunities to break serve now and then
on grass, even as good as some of the servers are out there ? a Taylor Dent
or Justin Gimelstob. I'm going to get opportunities.

If I can hold my service games a little bit more comfortably and go out there
and clean up my service games, then obviously that's going to help me,
especially on this surface.

Q. Is it aces that tells you you're holding your serve?

LLEYTON HEWITT: No, I don't go out there and try to hit a lot of aces. It's
a lot about setting up the point for my game.

Q. If you're hitting a lot of aces, do you feel like you're playing well? You
don't look at that as a statistic?

LLEYTON HEWITT: I don't look at that as a statistic, for me in particularly.
It's more about trying to get as many cheap points off my first serve,
first-serve percentage, those kinds of things for me.

Q. Do you think London would be a good place to stage the Olympics? Do you
think Wimbledon in particular would be a good place? How would you feel about
playing in a tennis tournament, an Olympic tennis tournament, here at
Wimbledon? Do you think the British people warm to international players?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Oh, I'm sure they would. A big city like London, I'm sure
it would stage an awesome Olympics. Then again, I haven't seen all the
facilities. A bit hard for me to comment apart from just the tennis facilities.
And we all know how popular Wimbledon is, what an arena it is, as well.

There's a lot of traditions with Wimbledon and the tournament itself. Whether
they want to even cross over that bridge into the Olympics, I don't know.

Q. Do you think the courts are really slowing down, like many players have
said?

LLEYTON HEWITT: At the start the tournament I think they were quite slow for
a grass court. They've quickened up. Obviously, you know, you have good days.
Weather like we've had throughout this tournament, we've been fortunate. You
know, they're quickening up every day.

Q. Would you consider anything but winning The Championships here a successful
fortnight for you? 

LLEYTON HEWITT: What's that?

Q. Would you consider anything but winning The Championships a successful run
here?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Yeah, of course. You know, you can go out there and every match
is a tough one to win. I go out there and I expect to win. I go out there and I
play to win. But you know that any opponent's tough to play out there.

So obviously I'd love to hold the trophy up. But there's still three matches
before I can do that. The names get tougher and tougher, you know, the further
you go in the tournament.

So, "succeed," you know, it's a tough word. What is success and failure, where
do you draw the line? If you go out there and give a hundred percent, leave it
all out on the court, for me, that's a success.

Q. Given that Lopez hasn't been through this situation, hasn't come through in
these types of matches, what are the ways in which you can exploit that
difference in experience?

LLEYTON HEWITT: I don't think there's ways of me exploiting that. You know,
it's more him holding his nerve, I think, in terms of the big situation and
being on a big show court and playing big matches. He's come through and
beaten two of the big danger men in the tournament in Safin and Ancic - both
in straight sets. So he's obviously hardened his nerve pretty well at the
moment.

For me, it's purely -- I'm not worrying about his inexperience in big matches.
He's played Davis Cup enough to know situations in the big time. I've
basically got to play him on my game against his out there and work on the
weaknesses of his game and try and exploit that.

Q. Another thing Taylor said about the dispute in the line calls was that a
lot of the members of public actually warm to that, actually like players to
show a bit more emotion. Do you agree with that?

LLEYTON HEWITT: I don't know about crowds warming to it. Yeah, in the heat of
the battle, obviously if we disagree with an overrule or want to question
something, then obviously the crowd's going to get involved a little bit with
that. Whether all crowds warm to players challenging umpires all the time, I
don't know if that's the case in every tournament, every situation.

Q. Does it ever inspire you to play better or affect your game negatively or
positively?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Oh, it can over time. Sure, there's matches where it's worked
a positive and sometimes it's worked a negative. But today I felt like I was
able to block it out extremely well and concentrate on the job at hand, what
I had to do, didn't let it affect me at all. I knew that, obviously, I was a
set and a break up, trying to consolidate that break in the second set. You
know, I just really didn't want to let anything interrupt me.

Q. You've got a strong support group around you. I notice Kieran Perkins. Do
you sit back and inspire each other before you go out?

LLEYTON HEWITT: I heard he was coming today, but I haven't seen him or spoken
to him.

Q. Is he a close friend of yours?

LLEYTON HEWITT: Not really. I don't know Kieran that well. I've only met him a
couple of times. Obviously, he's a huge hero of mine, though, for what he's
done in the pool and over the years in big situations. But I don't know about
me for him.

Q. The foot-faults today, have you had any in previous matches leading into
this? I think you had seven.

LLEYTON HEWITT: I had a couple in one of my previous matches. Yeah, today was
more weird timing than anything. It was all happening up one end and not up
the other. That's what my question was to the umpire at one stage.

Q. Can you explain what you're saying making sure the red mist doesn't affect
your game. Are you talking about that or is it automatically that it doesn't
affect you at all?

LLEYTON HEWITT: No, today I was actually conscious of trying to not let
anything affect me basically, and just think, "All right, well, that's out of
the way. It's out of my control now. Why dwell on it?" I think I handled that
situation pretty well today.

Q. There was a specific moment in the fourth set, an overrule, Taylor said he
felt that you intimidated the official there, the official backed down. 

LLEYTON HEWITT: No. The overrule came and Taylor actually walked to the other
side of the court. It was sort of Taylor's fault.
