实在太兴奋了,乾脆熬夜翻一下了,希望大家一早起来就读到M. Safin - Day 3Wednesday, June 22, 2005Q. Coming next is Feliciano Lopez. You are three head to head, you lose two. Feliciano is winning 2‑1. What do you expect in this match?MARAT SAFIN: Well, it's a difficult match, first of all, because he's a lefty, he has his serve. To play against him on grass, it's actually very tough, especially that he pass first two rounds. He must be playing pretty good. He had a very tough match in the first round, so it's going to be a really tough one.I think it's one of his favorite surfaces, is grass. Grass, indoors and really fast hard court. So is a tough match, and let's see if he can serve as well as he was serving days before.Q. When did it come to you that you no longer feared grass, if that happened?MARAT SAFIN: Two weeks ago.Q. Two weeks ago, in Halle?MARAT SAFIN: I pass through the difficult moments in my life, really difficult times on grass during my seven years of my career. And I couldn't really find myself comfortable on that surface until I played Halle. I made, like I said, some good results. I beat some tough players there. All of a sudden I felt comfortable. I felt really comfortable moving on it. Just I think it's one of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move. If you serve well, and to find actually the return, all of a sudden all this came to me and I felt pretty good.Q. Why do you think that was all of a sudden that it just came to you after so long?MARAT SAFIN: Well, I don't know. There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly this moment. It's just coming. I don't know how to explain it.Q. So what are your feelings right now about grass as a surface?MARAT SAFIN: That I'm comfortable playing on it and I'm confident and I make some great results two weeks ago and I made some great matches here, I think, for the first and second round. This was pretty good ‑ pretty good performance, especially today. That's how confidence coming back, especially on grass. It's really important to have a confidence ‑ confidence and a comfortable feeling on it.Q. Roger Federer was in here before and said when you were playing together in Halle, he never had seen you so relaxed out on court. He suggested perhaps it has to do with the knee injury, that you've got in the back of your mind if things don't go well, there's a ready‑made reason for that. Is there any truth to that?MARAT SAFIN: Well, I don't have any reasons. If I don't want to play, I don't want to play. It's just there is no ‑‑ I don't need to find a really good reason for myself, you know, so I don't have to feel really depressed after the match and saying I'm going to lie myself, no, it's because of the knee. It's because of nothing.You know, I felt I found my game, and I was feeling comfortable, and I had nothing to lose ‑ especially in the final against him, because he won two years in a row, even three. I was enjoying really. I was enjoying the match. I had my chances and I was really playing great tennis. I had nothing to complain about. I was serving well and I was returning well. I had my chances actually, and I couldn't take them. But I have no regrets. I have no ‑‑ I don't need to find a reason. I don't need to find a reason so I have to take off the pressure.
