Monday, 21 June 2010



Q. Do you feel like you got out of jail tonight?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Meaning on...


Q. As in you were lucky to escape with a win tonight?

你覺得今晩很幸運的是你是這場比賽的贏家?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, I don't think I was too lucky. Actually, I had a kind of
big match and big challenge with myself. As soon as I was starting to play
aggressive and well, I was winning in the match. Fourth and fifth set,
especiall in the fifth set, I showed the real game, the game that I should play.

我不認為我有多幸運。我面臨一場大比賽並且對我本身是個大挑戰。
幸好我有及時表現的像我剛開賽時的積極，所以我還能拿下比賽。
第四盤、第五盤，特別是第五盤我打出我應該要打出的表現。

You know, it was great match, of course. Rochus is a very tricky player,
especially on grass. He has a very low balance and he rarely gives you free
points. You have to work for all the points.So I dropped the level of serve,
and I started to give him too much opportunities and he used it. So that's why
I did have a big struggle against him. But I was very happy that in the end I
managed to find the real game.

這的確是場很棒的比賽。Rochus是個非常有技巧的選手，特別是在草地。
他低盤的平衡感很棒會給你許多變化，你必須去面對這些打法。
所以我發球開始不穩，且給他很多機會他也掌握住了。
這就是為何我無法輕易打敗他，但我很開心最後我還是掌握了比賽。


Q. Whenever you went off for the break to bring the roof across, what did your
team say to you to get you geared up for the remainder of the match?

當為了使用屋頂所給予你們的休息時間，你的團隊有提醒你該做什麼面對剩下的比賽?


NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, you know, it is all part of the sport, and you have to
deal with it. I think the break kind of helped me a little bit, because I
didn't feel great at that moment on the court. So to have a little half an hour
of the break and just relax and focus and reset my game and my mind was helpful.

這就是比賽的一部份，你必須去接受他。我相信這休息時間有幫助我一些些，因為當時
我在場上並不是很好的狀態。所以給了我半小時喘一口氣，我就是好好放鬆一下並專心
面對剩下的比賽對我很有幫助。


Q. Confidence-wise coming into this championship, where do you feel you are
with your game at the moment?


NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, it hasn't been the best couple of months, you know, of
the year. But still, you always find the motivation to do well in Wimbledon and
any Grand Slam, especially here, for me, the most prestigious one and most
important one.

過去幾個月或可說是今年我打的並不好。但還是必須要找尋動力去打好溫布頓甚至是
任何一個大滿貫，特別在這裡，對我來說是最重要的賽事。

I really have a big desire to go far, but I'll take one match at a time. I'm
very proud to take the win tonight. It was a tough match, but everybody plays
tennis, you know. You cannot underestimate any opponents, even in the opening
rounds.

我真的很想能夠在這裡有更好的成績，但我會一場一場去打好。
我很榮幸今晚我能取勝，這是場很艱辛的比賽，但在網球你不能去輕忽什麼，
特別是在第一輪。

Q. Wimbledon completely oozes tradition, so how do you imagine a press
conference near midnight playing at Wimbledon? Do you feel like you're more in
New York or somewhere?

你覺得在靠近半夜還在溫布頓有場記者會感覺如何?
會覺得你像是在紐約或是別的地方?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It was interesting. You don't get to see a lot of late-night
matches in Wimbledon history. Now with having roof and lights gives us that
opportunity.So I'm happy that in a way my name is in the history books of
playing late in the night, so I'm just happy to grab a win.

這很有趣。你很少看到會有這麼晚的比賽出現在溫布頓歷史上。
現在有屋頂與燈光設備給我們這個機會。我很高興我有這個機會把名字留在
溫布頓夜晚比賽歷史上，我很開心拿到這場勝利。


Q. How would you sum up your experience playing under the roof and under the
lights?

對於在屋頂與燈光下打這場比賽來個結論吧!

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It was very humid. I think Murray and Wawrinka played last year
a long match under the roof and lights. They were saying how humid it is and,
especially if there is a lot of people watching you, sweating a lot. It's
different conditions. Definitely different conditions. Kind of suited to my
game at that moment, and I managed to go through.

它濕度很高。去年Murray跟Wawrinka也在屋頂與燈光下打了一場很長的比賽。
他們說非常潮濕，加上很多觀眾看著你比賽，更容易流汗。
但不同狀況會有不同方式去面對，今年我這場比賽我有好好去適應。
