「Roger Federer がやってきた!」
不思議な絵の白T着てます
practiceを見ていたrf.commerによると、hittingの途中に急に中断してパガニーニさんらと話した後、そのまま止めて去ったそうです
陣営に特に心配そうな様子は見えなかったものの、足を気にしていたようだ、との情報もありますが…何事もありませんように。

THE FRENCH OPEN Paris, France
An interview with:
ROGER FEDERER
THE MODERATOR: Questions in English first, please.
Q. What would be a good question to ask you?
ROGER FEDERER: You're a good journalist. You know one.
Q. Well, how is practice going?
ROGER FEDERER: It's been good. You know, I was tired after Rome. Took three days off and came straight to Paris Saturday. I have been here for a while and I have been practicing good. The weather has been nice, and been feeling fine, you know.
Conditions seem somewhat similar to the last few years. Even though they have the change of balls, I've gotten used to that. Waiting to hear when I'm gonna play, what day. That's what the only last thing remaining is.
Q. You always come straight on what you're doing, of course. Do you think this year especially there is so much talk about what Novak and Rafa are doing that maybe gives you a great chance to come through yourself and put all that to bed and confirm that you're still the main man?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, I have never been the overwhelming favorite going into the French Open because of Rafa's great record here over the years, you know.
But surely I have followed Novak's streak as close as I could. You know, he's been doing extremely well. I think this is definitely a year for me where I can come into this tournament with just a little less pressure than let's say the last six, seven years, really.
Last year I was the defending champion. The year before, you know, and the years before that I was trying to win Paris for the first time. So I've always had that big cloud hanging over, and the am‑I‑ever‑gonna‑win‑the‑French‑Open question.
So that's, you know, been answered. I think this year, like you say, maybe they expect more from Rafa and Novak, and that could be a good thing for me and more pressure for them. We'll see how it goes, you know.
But we're all great players and we know how to handle it. I hope I can, you know, put myself in a position to win this tournament again.
Q. Last time you played here, Roger, last year's match against Soderling, what do you sort of remember? It was a cold, rainy, funny situation. Looking back a year later, what do you think about that match?
ROGER FEDERER: Still the same: rainy, cold, tough conditions. He played great. He didn't give me much. Yeah, I mean, I was close. I think I had set point to go two sets to one and ended up losing that set, and that one hurt me, obviously, to win that match.
But he played well, you know. Just maybe tough conditions on a bad day for me, but at the same time he was playing well.
So, I mean, I don't ‑‑ I didn't come out of that match thinking about it too long, you know. You move on; you go to grass. I didn't have crazy regrets, you know. I got still my souvenirs from the year before.
Winning the French Open was still so big that, you know, I got the French Open I wanted, you know, and that defeat against Soderling was not gonna kill that.
So that's always gonna be a tough one, to walk away as a defending champion as a loser, but it's what happens. It's unfortunate, but still I thought it was a good match.
Q. Like in Indian Wells you might play a little bit of golf; I don't know about what you do in Miami. But is there anything you look forward to off the court when you come to Paris, anything you can do with the family, restaurants, off the court that makes it fun for you?
ROGER FEDERER: It's mainly restaurants really, and friends come over from Switzerland. So it's usually a lot of catching up Cup them. People who I haven't seen in a long time, they come over quickly or are in the area and we go for dinner.
We try obviously to go to some parks with the kids and so forth now that they're getting older and run around and stuff. So, yeah, all those things come into play.
But, I mean, it's a Grand Slam. At the end of the day I'm trying to do all the right things. Obviously rehab, get enough sleep, and all those things, just to be, you know, physically and mentally as prepared as I can be for this tournament.
Q. What's the latest update on the twins? Are they doing math or are they speaking Portuguese or anything like that?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, they have been good girls. Look, they're still learning a lot every day, and I love spending time with them. Yeah, they're getting cuter every day. I'm a very happy father.
Mirka takes great care of them when I'm doing this stuff, and I'm looking forward to seeing them again when I come back.
Q. Throughout the year you guys play on courts of all colors, red, green, blue purple. There has been talk about Madrid and the blue. As a player, does it matter at all what the color of the court is?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I mean, definitely gives you a different feel the way you see the balls. Yes, I think so. I think important as well is that it's good for TV, you know. So I thought the purple on the hard courts kind of worked, you know.
But then I still also think it's important to stay true to tradition. You know, keep the red clay, you know. Obviously those kind of things. Grass doesn't become orange, all those things. It just would be all strange.
But other than that, it's also very important how the backboard is of the stadiums, and then also sometimes the color of the seats. You know, the brighter the seats are the tougher it is to see the ball when it goes up on a higher topspin or on a lob.
Yeah, so those things. And lighting at night is also very important.
Q. TV people have said that the red clay and the yellow balls are probably the toughest contrast that they have. I wonder, as a player, is it tough to pick up the ball on a red surface as opposed to a blue surface, and how does it manifest itself?
ROGER FEDERER: No, not really. I don't feel that way anyway. Maybe someone else does, but for me it doesn't matter the red against the yellow. It's fine.
THE MODERATOR: Questions in French.
Q. I know you just answered this in English, but...
ROGER FEDERER: I'm used to it.
Q. So Rafa went to see his family to have some rest before the tournament. Novak went to Cannes, a film festival. What did you do?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I arrived here on Saturday. I spent some time with my kids and Mirka. I had three days off before I started this tournament here. I started then on Monday. Tuesday I started hitting a bit. I played again yesterday, and today, too.
Now I'm just waiting to know when I'm gonna play. Is it gonna be on Monday or Tuesday? I hope I'm gonna start soon. Maybe wanted to go back to Switzerland for a while just for the weekend, but it was too complicated with the whole family so I stayed here in the end.
Q. About the new balls, you said you adapted to them. Other players, it was a problem that balls change all the time. Is it a problem for you?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, the balls are faster, indeed. It might be a bit difficult in the beginning, but in the end, they're not that fast.
The thing is, there is a great difference when the balls are new or when they get old. That will be an issue. But we are used to it, anyway. Sometimes spectators don't even notice that there is a change of balls, but we do. That's a moment when we need to be very focused.
But I will have to play my first match to really see what it means.
Q. What do you think of the winning streak of Novak? Are you surprised by this? And also, Novak beat Rafael on clay twice.
ROGER FEDERER: I'm following that very closely. I'm not really talking about it yet, because sometimes you just ‑‑ in the beginning we were not talking about it because he won two or three tournaments. Okay.
He didn't play Monte‑Carlo, and then he started winning again and people started talking about it. What he did is incredible. He had a phenomenal beginning of the year and of the season, I mean.
I also had some winning streaks in my career, and they always end and that's tough. Also, when people start talking about it, it becomes more difficult for you to handle the situation. It happened to me, too.
I was not really surprised that he beat Rafa in Madrid, although I thought Rafa would win because of his results of the former years. But you should not forget that Rafa had lost in Miami and Indian Wells against Novak, too.
So this is why it is interesting to follow what's gonna happen, whether Novak will overcome Rafa or not. That's why I'm following this.
Q. Do you believe Novak went a step further? Maybe it's mentally, or do you believe it's important that he doesn't have his allergies anymore?
ROGER FEDERER: I don't understand what you mean.
Q. Novak was a good player already, but now he seems to be unbeatable. Do you believe it's not only mentally that he's improved but also physically, or do you believe he's stronger physically?
ROGER FEDERER: He was always very fast on the court. I don't believe he's different, from my point of view. He was always finishing his matches very well.
Of course, now he has more confidence; that's clear. Sometimes before when it was windy or he didn't feel good he was not fighting as much.
But now, this winning streak shows that he's playing normally and that he's winning maybe easier than before. But he's the same player as before. He had some tight matches that he could have lost. He didn't.
So now he did something extraordinary, and it's very interesting to follow him. It's good for tennis. It's very positive.
Q. What about your first opponent and your part of the draw?
ROGER FEDERER: Yes, it's interesting. The Lopez match in Madrid was a difficult first round, but I don't believe we're gonna play four or five tiebreakers. It's not possible anyway. I believe the match will be interesting. We have known each other for a very long time, since we were juniors.
Also, I was having a good series, and I was surprised I was gonna play against him, because I thought he was seeded and that I wouldn't play him, but sometimes you are a bit unlucky.
He's a dangerous player. He's maybe more dangerous than the past years, or maybe more dangerous than other opponents I played first rounds in other Grand Slams.
And after him, if ever I win, I really don't know the other players. But I saw some tough seeded players on my side, too. So Rafa has a tough draw. Novak, Murray, I don't know. I didn't see very well.
But I think what is important for me is that I play a good beginning of the tournament.
Q. You said it was good to see Rafa and Novak fighting. How does it feel to be an outsider now, an underdog, so to speak?
ROGER FEDERER: As I said, in the French Open I never was the top favorite. It's true I didn't have as much pressure here than in other tournaments, but this year I have even less pressure because Rafa wants to keep his title; Novak wants to win it.
So they have more pressure than me maybe, compared with my last six, seven years here. But there's not a great difference anyway.
If in Wimbledon, for example, I was not among the top four or five favorites, then it would be a big change. But in the French Open, it's always more or less the same.
ボールについて話してますが、今年から2015年までバポラが採用されることになりました。うまくfitしてくれるよう願います。
バポラボールは小さくてすごく固くて早い。ロジャやジョコには向いてるかも知れないが、ナダルには少し合わないかもしれないとの記事↓↓↓
