AAMI CLASSICKooyong Lawn Tennis ClubThursday, 11 January 2007MARAT SAFINQ. It was a bit windy out there today, Marat. Was that a good test ofthe serves?A. Yes, a little bit. Sometimes it was very difficult to serve, sothat's why I was missing a lot of first serves, and it was a littlebit difficult to compete against him on the baseline.Q 今天风很大，是发球状态好坏的最佳考验MS 是的，有点大。有时候真的很难发，所以我第一发总发不进，跟他在底线缠斗也比较困难。Q. When we spoke to Roger, he said that your attacking game hadimproved. Do you feel that you're playing better now than in 2005?A. Yes. Well, it took me quite a lot of time to get here, to where Iam, and I think I've improved my game a little bit, step by step, forthe past year. Wimbledon was pretty tough for me, and with my kneeinjury, but I'm pretty satisfied with the way my game improved. I canplay serve and volley, I can play some different styles, so it helps alot.Q ROGER 说你的进攻打法又进步了。你自己觉得现在比05年打得还好吗MS 是阿，嗯，可是费了一番功夫才到今天的，能打出现在的样子，我认为自己一步步在提升，过去一年，温网让我吃足苦头，之後又是膝伤困扰，所以对於自己进步的程度很开心满意。我能发球上网，打一些变化的节奏，这样的突破对未来有帮助Q. It's always a good match-up when you play Roger, it's always a nicematch to watch from the outside. Although he's a very difficultopponent, do you enjoy to play against him?A. Yes, I really enjoy it. It's a big challenge for me, it's acompletely different style game, compared to other players, and for meit's a huge challenge. I always enjoy it, even though I didn't beathim many times, but I was very close on a few of them. And my next fewyears that I'm playing here, I would love to break him a little bitand take advantage of that, when we have been playing for a long time,to beat him a few times.Q 你跟ROGER 的比赛总是很精典，从场外看更是好看。自然他是位可怕的对手，你喜欢跟他比赛吗MS 我真的很享受跟ROGER打球，很有挑战性，跟其他球员比起来，是完全不同的战术与风格，所以是个大挑战。虽然我大部分都输球，我还是很享受的，有几次的比分更是十分接近。未来几年若跟他对打，我希望能破发多一点，占一些上风来打败他。Q. You are always capable of beating him, but do you think that'smentally good for you, to know that some players seem to go to matcheswith him knowing it will be very hard, but you seem to ...A. No, even though he's tough, I like to play against him. I just --you need to get used to the pace of his ball, and then to play alittle bit more and more. And I think whenever I have an opportunity Iwill definitely -- it's a bit tough for him to beat me, and I will tryto -- not to break myself any more and not have any more injuries,because that's why it's difficult to catch up with him, when you arecoming out from an injury.Q 你一直是有实力击败他的，难道你不认为相对於其他球员只要想到对手是ROGER 就束手无策的窘境，对你的心理健设是很有益处的，但你似乎总是.....MS 不，虽然他很强势，我还是喜欢跟他比赛。我只是--不过你得要适应他的节奏，然後渐渐地进攻。而我自己也觉得当我有进攻机会时一定会善加利用，那时他要打赢我就难了，我试著--不要再BREAK
