インタビュー訳です。
Q: Are you happy to be back on grass?
FEDERER: Sure, it’s always nice. I think that any surface change actually has something nice about it. Grass is the most special one because we only play one month on it. So, every day you get a chance to play on this surface is somewhat a special day, because it’s so rare and it’s so different to the other ones. I feel it’s something you want to savour as long as you are on the surface.
Q: Did you watch the final on Sunday?
FEDERER: No, I was practicing.
Q: Were you rooting for the Swedish guy?
FEDERER: No, the better one wins. My call was that Raffa would win in straight sets, which he did. He was the best by far this year on clay from the start in Monaco, or there were even Davis Cup matches in February. He didn’t lose a set as far as I remember. So, he completely deserved the French Open as well.
Q: The past 52 weeks you won two Grand Slams and made one final and the guy, who is No. 1, won only one Grand Slam. Do you think the ranking system is fair?
FEDERER: Well, I think it’s fair but tough. You can’t always predict how long do I want to be No. 1 in the world. It’s something that comes and goes very quickly. It’s tough on the player that rankings change so quickly and so drastically sometimes. We’ve gotten accustomed to me or Raffa, but especially me, is number one in the world, it’s pretty easy to stay at the top and it’s something that comes very naturally almost. But it’s not if you look how quickly things change. I’m still the holder of two Grand Slam titles and a couple of Master’s 1000 and so forth. Then you realize it’s not that simple. It’s great for the media because they make a big huge deal out of the rankings. Because, today he’s great, like Raffa last year. Everything before the French he was incredible. One and a half month later, he doesn’t have a French or Wimbledon title anymore and people start like, will he ever come back, will he ever play tennis again after his knee problems. But all he did is miss six weeks of tennis and they make a huge deal out of it. I think whoever is No. 1 in the world deserves it because it’s a ranking over 365 days and it proves that the press was wrong. They wrote him off, saying he was not playing well. But he must have some results in the system which were finals, maybe not titles but he put himself in a position that if he was going to win big titles again, he was going to make Number 1 in the world. Hope this makes sense.
Q: At first it was a little shaky. When they now have noticed you go on grass?
FEDERER: I had trouble in the first game with two double faults. This is something I'm usually over two matches. I do maybe I average a double fault, and there were two in the first game. He probably could have taken advantage, might have to if he wanted to have a chance. But then I have served me at 15:40 and 30 40 and could thus save and thereby find the game pure. That I will have a chance with his serve, it was clear to me from the start, although one must always be careful. On grass the rallies are short. So I was very pleased with how I could vary my game at key points. I have offensively, played aggressively, had afterwards served sovereign, which is extremely important on grass. Thus I have delivered a great game as the first round.
Q: The game was scheduled quite late. What did you do all day?
FEDERER: I was not scheduled at twelve clock, four special clock and did play at six clock, two hours later. This is a sometimes quite situated. I usually have two hours before a game, now there were three, maybe four. I was ready to go onto the pitch in the second set, tiebreak from Kohlschreiber. Then we waited another three quarters hours. This is completely normal for us tennis players and we know how to kill time.
Q: How did you beat them to death?
FEDERER: It waits. Then I looked a bit like Federer has played. One can see a bit of live tennis, not only on TV. Then talk a little bit of play, perhaps cards, discuss or meet with other players that you have not seen any longer.
Q: Was Nieminen an ideal first opponent?
FEDERER: Can you now see as right? But before the match I was aware of the danger, even though I won against him ten or eleven times and have never lost a set. But against Soderling I had also won twelve times in a row and lost it. This means that it is never a guarantee in tennis. So you have to constantly prove anew. In retrospect, the game was perfect for me. I could not find me in the rallies from the baseline clean, could not dominate the way I wanted. The baseline is the strength of Nieminen, so it was important to vary for me. It was important for me today, solid, serve well by. I have achieved.
Q: Have you played your first time here in the hall under the roof?
FEDERER: No, I'm sure for three games here under the roof. Against Youzhny, against Rochus, also once in the final. Middle of the second set against Nadal they then shut the roof.
Q: As conditions change?
FEDERER: it's kind of loud, there is wind and a bit restless. But the place has not felt slippery to me. The grass was perfect. From demher the system works great if the roof is closed. You hear so a bit of the indoor ball, but not unpleasant. It is different in mood. But they must play and win in all conditions and.
Q: You talked about the fact that you talk with colleagues. Is the upcoming World Cup also an issue?
FEDERER: For me, the team already, but not yet with the other players great. It starts but soon, everyone gives off a tip or say who will win well. No one has really a clue. That's funny, right? (Laughs). The group games are simply hard. Everyone has a chance. It is a bit used to that here in Halle and Wimbledon usually begins the World Cup or European Championship. This is made even more extra charm to the tournament and provides for conversation.
Q: In your veins and South African blood. Would you be happy there?
FEDERER: Yeah, sure I would sometimes like to be somewhere else. But unfortunately I have lost my twin brother, so I have twin daughters, is not it? The fact that the times can do that perhaps. No, I am of course sad sometimes that I can not fly or WM was also never been to a Formula One race. I've always said that everything can come later times when my life is calmer times. Now the priority is and remains my family, my team and my tennis. I follow this as best as possible from a distance. I look forward to the World Cup in South Africa. I have also the South African passport, my mother comes from there, and I was there much earlier during the holidays. So I know where to play, as the atmosphere is there. So I would pursue it more secure than normal.
Q: Do you regret that that Soderling is not here yet?
FEDERER: Yes, would have been great. I have already played once against him here. He has had his chances (laughs). No, the stronger the field, the better for the audience's, the better for me. But in the end still can not all be there. It is tired, perhaps slightly injured, will not take any risks, not to make it even worse. A time slip stupid, then you are away, instead of one or two weeks, three months. Then you have a problem. So you have to deal safely with good body and his energy. The top players have to sometimes do such hard decisions, they are the spearhead of a tournament. There are around a lot of media, sponsors and a lot of drum. This is not to be underestimated. A player who is 70 of the world, the train can only play its matches and now go home. For us this is a bit different, the workload is slightly more strenuous.
Q: You said after the off in Paris that it might not be so bad to have a breather until the grass season opener. Was that all right?
FEDERER: I always see the positive. If you arrive too late, it means you played well and played a lot. Then we thought, not much goes on and the place know exactly how to play breakpoints, whether it's sand, grass or hard court. When one is placed above one can not play against a posited first round. This can also be of advantage that you fit during the tournament play and can relax. I can remember, there was a year since I had to play the first three matches all three sets, but I've felt much better on Friday than it was sm Monday. This is sometimes quite funny how one can enhance success, too. It is sure to calm and reassuring stuff when you can arrive early, as I am now here. I arrived on Friday. You can settle themselves. You have enough time for lunch, dinner, the family, for training, for media and the fans, because that is indeed sometimes too short. This gives you much more time for many things.
Q: But what was it better?
FEDERER: Sure, I prefer to have success, but at the same time one can not always win. This is the case, but my season is still good. The last three years were great. We have many friends here, so it pleases us very well. Hopefully this helps me that I was there earlier this year. But only the games will decide on Center Court.
