訪問很長,關於比賽本身只有一點點^^||,大家對台維斯盃比較關心...
Feli變成大配角,因為有傳言他將取代雙C其中一隻(Costa嗎!?)進軍澳洲
Corretja: "I hope today is the beginning of my recovery"
Q. Are you seeing the light?
ALEX CORRETJA: Well, it does help. I've been working for months,
traveling, training without results, positive results. I hope
today is the beginning of my recovery.
It's gratifying to see I can play well again. It's something I
was looking for for weeks and didn't find. Same as in Lyon,
where finally I lost. I had break opportunities which I finally
lost. But today I've been calm, a little bit more experience,
working hard. Suddenly, because of the last set, you win. The
same as months ago, because of the last set, I lost. You have to
wait. But to wait is very difficult.
Q. This is the second time you've beaten Nadal?
ALEX CORRETJA: We met in the Godo, and that was a tough fight.
Today has been another one. He's a very good boy who plays well,
it's true, but the important thing was to win. Good impressions
come maybe afterwards. Maybe you enjoy things when things are
easier. But now it's only a matter of winning.
Q. Lately have you ever thought about retiring?
ALEX CORRETJA: Right now I'm working to get to the top again. If
I ever thought I wouldn't be able to do it, I could have retired
before, yes. But I don't think that way. I might as well stay at
home if I felt that way. I think it's better to play tournaments,
to be maybe in the first round, challengers, that's my moment
right now. I've not thought about retiring, not now. I hope not
to think about that for a while, three or four years.
Q. Maybe it's a bit slow now. You're out of the Top 100.
ALEX CORRETJA: Yes. I'm going to be patient. I know it's been
hard for months. But I have to keep my mental control. I'm working
with my coach, with my physical trainer. I hope all that helps me
improve, because that's where it has to be reflected, in victories.
Q. What do you think about the trial it's going to be for the
doubles with Feliciano, Davis Cup?
ALEX CORRETJA: The captains asked us if we had any problems
playing together. They asked both. I said I agreed. Feliciano,
too. That's why we're going to try. More than try to win, we're
going to try to see how we work together, if we're comfortable or
not.
Q. Is it a trial?
ALEX CORRETJA: Yes, it's just a trial. It's not definite. But
once we see what we can give together, the captains are going to
try, keep trying teams, then choose according to that.
Q. Do you think it's fair, instead of Albert?
ALEX CORRETJA: I don't want to answer that question because that's
up to the captains to choose. I'm only glad to think the captains
keep thinking about me. They have to answer that for you.
Q. In a day like today when we've been hearing about betting and
all this, what do you think about the subject?
ALEX CORRETJA: For me it's been a great day. I don't feel like
thinking about bets or betting today. I haven't seen anyone
throwing a match because of this stuff of betting. If it's someone,
it's up to him, but I have no news.
Q. Have you improved with your new coach, your way of thinking,
your game?
ALEX CORRETJA: Now I'm much elated again. Before with my former
coach, even though we thought we could win something, it was
obvious we couldn't. There was something wrong. I needed something new.
Now I'm working on my mental control, legs, stamina, trying to keep
up, get my level of game back.
I knew him so well that sometimes it was difficult for me to pay
attention to small details. Sometimes you need a new person whom
you respect and you don't know as well to learn and keep giving
your best.
Both coaches are different, do different things on the court.
Sometimes he just asked me strange things. He asked me to train
after a match. Last time, I was off the court at midnight almost.
But I did it because I trust him and I think he's doing it for my
best interest.
That happens in small details. I changed my mobile phone because
I had many people phoning me, and now I have time for myself, I
can rest. I just try to think about myself more than about other
people.
Q. If you keep this ranking next season, you're not going to be
able to play many tournaments next year. Do you remember Agassi
and his 140 place in the ranking? How would you react?
ALEX CORRETJA: Right now I don't want to think about anything like
that. I wish I were Agassi, in fact. But I don't want to think about
tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll train because I'll have a smile on my face
because I won, not the face of failure.
But the good thing is I have the chance to keep on playing. Ranking,
I don't really care about that right now. You get what you deserve.
You cannot fake that.
Q. After your match today, it seems you were a little bit irregular.
We know you're good, but sometimes you really make incredible errors.
ALEX CORRETJA: Yes, I know it's important to be precise. If you lose
concentration, then it's very difficult to get it back. Actually,
there's examples, Sampras, who have retired - not because of
failures but because maybe your head cannot go beyond a point.
Even if everything is very nice apparently, one has to sacrifice,
work very, very hard. There's a point where either you like tennis
a lot or you just think, "I have everything I want, I can stay at
home, have a child, have a wife." I think it's important to keep
on. That's the important decision. I think I have something more
to give.
Q. How do you feel about Davis Cup, about your place? There are
choices, maybe Feliciano, Albert. Who do you think you're going
to play with?
ALEX CORRETJA: Look, I know captains are going to do the best
for the team. If I'm chosen, I'll give my best and I'll go. For
example, I wouldn't go to Australia. Doubles, grass. But if I
accept Davis Cup, I think it's because it's something unique. I
would perfectly understand not to be chosen as one of the members
of the team, and it wouldn't be a surprise for me.
For instance, if I play with Feliciano sometime, people would be
very critical with me. He's young. I'm older. If the captain
decides not to have me, I would be sad but not really surprised.
Q. About Feliciano, I know he's entering a new team at this stage.
It's something that breaks the routine of the team maybe. Could
it change something in the scheme of the team? Could something go
wrong?
ALEX CORRETJA: No, I don't think so. If the captains decide to
change, I think that's a brave decision. It's easier to choose
the same team that has reached the final. To say they're playing
good, "Okay, we're going to reward you with staying on the team."
If captains think that a change must be made, I think it's brave
and good for the team.
So to have a new player is a risk. To have two is a double risk.
As I've said, I would accept two new players because that's
logical. If you break a team, it's logical, you break it by taking
the two of them off, putting two new ones. It's a risk, that's
true. But any decision that they make, I think we're going to
accept it, even if it's not easy. You can always say, "Go on, you
play the final." That's not easy. When you've never played a
Davis Cup match...
I would accept it, but it's not easy. As I said before, any
change is going to be accepted. Depends on your mentality.
