美网夺冠之后谈温网

Before he managed his 20 minutes of shut-eye, the champion went on to the internet to study images of his performance. “I wanted to get a sense of what the fans saw,” he said. “I like to see the pictures before I go to bed. I would never have done that at Wimbledon this year. I have never seen a picture of Rafa [Nadal] holding the trophy and it's something I don't ever want to see.

“I'm still a little bit disappointed a match like that was decided at night. I understand it was appropriate to finish it because of the special occasion we were under. Fair play, the crowds were there and they wanted a proper ending. But I think more people left feeling sorry for me than they were happy for Rafa, which hurts me a little. At the same time, I appreciate that tennis went up a notch with that match and that's what I strove to do in my five years as No1, to make tennis better, more popular and I admit that that Wimbledon final achieved all I had wanted, even if I lost it.”

我仍然对那场比赛必须在晚上决出胜负感到些许失望。我非常理解在当时的特殊场合下,我们必须完成比赛,这是恰当的。比赛也是公平的,观众期望看到一个结果。但是我感到更多的人们离场时心里是为我遗憾而不是为rafa高兴,这让我有点儿刺痛。同时,我知道网球本身会因为那场比赛而前进,这也正是我在做世界第一的五年来所竭力要促进的,让网球水平变得更高,让网球更受欢迎,而那场温网决赛达到了我所有曾经的期望,即使我输掉了。”
