THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. What are your thoughts on the match today and the situation?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, everything I tried didn't work out. It was kind of a weird match. I couldn't really feel comfortable out there. I had a couple of chances to break him back at 5-3 first set. Slipped away. The guy did much better. Start get much more confident on the court and he was going for it. Everything was on his side and I just couldn't get back into the match.

Q對於今天比賽的一切有什麼感想
MS 今天試什麼都沒用﹐很奇怪的比賽﹐就是在場上不自在。第一盤5-3時﹐有好幾次破他的機會﹐但都溜掉了。他打得好多了﹐越來越有信心﹐積極取分﹐似乎什麼都很順﹐而我就是無力挽回。

Q. Is there anything different about the grandstand court game, the closeness of it, the people on top of you?
MARAT SAFIN: No. Not really. Didn't bother me much. It wasn't that problem. I have these kind of matches, just whatever you try to do, it doesn't work out. Just then you just hope. But today didn't work.

Q 在GRANDSTAND 球場比賽不一樣嗎﹐距離呀﹐或者觀眾的。
MS 不﹐沒有﹐那一點都不困擾﹐問題不出在那裡。我時有這種情況的﹐就不管你作什麼都無效﹐最後只有希望發生奇跡。今天是失敗了。

Q. Have you played a lot on the grandstand?
MARAT SAFIN: I played last year and the year before. It's okay. It was same.

Q 你在GRANDSTAND 球場比賽多嗎
MS 去年跟前年都打過﹐OK的﹐沒差別。

Q. You said he was going for it. Did you feel like you weren't going for it?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, probably he was going for it for the right -- with the right balls, with the right shots, and he had nothing to lose. He played a very long match two days ago, so I guess finally found his rhythm on the court. And he was much more comfortable today. The way he was serving the last two sets was pretty impressive, so he had a lot of free points and easy balls and hitting down the lines. Whatever he was trying to do was great. I just didn't have the opportunity to break him or try to do something different because the guy was pretty fast and I wasn't really at my best.

Q 你說他積極取分﹐那麼你覺得自己沒有囉
MS 嗯﹐所有他搶攻的都奏效阿﹐他沒什麼可輸的。兩天前有個五盤大戰﹐我想經過那場長賽找到節奏了吧﹐今天發揮得更順暢。後兩盤的球發的很棒﹐所以輕鬆拿了不少分數﹐也多次打在線上。他怎麼打怎麼順﹐我就找不到機會破他﹐也沒辦法嘗試其他的﹐因為他節奏很快﹐而我狀態不好。

Q. How is it going, your working together with Hernan Gumy?
MARAT SAFIN: Much better than before, for sure. Still have to work. One month is not enough to make a big change, so have to move on and work and see if the results are a little bit later. It's very difficult to have results right away.

Q 你跟 GUMY 的合作如何
MS 當然是比之前更好了。一個月是不能有什麼改變的﹐所以要繼續努力看能不能漸入佳境﹐馬上要有結果是挺困難的。

Q. What goes through your mind on a day when the things are completely going the opponent's way and you don't feel at your best?
MARAT SAFIN: You know how many times I have like this? I'm used to it. You have to try until the end. Maybe something will -- he will start to get a little bit nervous or maybe I would hit a couple of good shots and everything can change. But today didn't really look this way, so I guess you have to swallow it. And one bad day off, there is not much you can do. That's it. The day is over and we move on, back to our lives.
Q 當遇到像今天這樣一面倒的情況你都怎麼想
MS 你知道這種經驗我有多少次了?早就習慣啦﹐你就只能一直嘗試到最後一刻。也許﹐他開始有些緊張了﹐或者我打了幾個好球﹐然後情勢逆轉。不過﹐今天就沒有阿﹐只有默默接受了。一個糟糕的日子﹐你能怎麼辦﹐就是這樣了。這一天結束了﹐展望未來﹐回復正常生活。

Q. You said the other day that you don't like looking back to the past to winning here. You live in the present and look to the future. What do you think the future holds now?
MARAT SAFIN: For me?

Q 之前你提到自己不喜歡陶醉在過去美網的輝煌裡﹐你活在當下﹐只想未來。你覺得未來的展望是什麼
MS 對我而言嗎

Q. Uh huh.
MARAT SAFIN: Only the most beautiful moments still to come. The past wasn't bad for me, but the future is -- that's why I will hope for the best. That's why moving through life I think the best moments are still to come. It can be tennis or anything different. Just have nothing to do with tennis. Maybe. Maybe it is. Maybe still be here and maybe next year I will win a couple of Grand Slams, you never know. But just I'm sure the best moments still to come.
Q 嗯
MS 美好的時刻終會來臨的呀。過去很不錯﹐但未來...所以我始終抱著最美的期待。回復到現實生活過下去﹐還有更美好的日子等著呢。也許是網球帶來的﹐也許是其他跟網球無關的事。也許﹐也許就是了。也許就在美網﹐也許明年可能再拿些滿貫﹐你永遠猜不到。但我確信最好的時刻終將到來的。

Q. Do you still enjoy tennis as much as that day when those doors sort of went open and in came the lobster to celebrate your win?
MARAT SAFIN: Oh, yeah. I'm still -- I don't like to lose. I love to win and I enjoy the moments on the court when it's a battle and you have to deal with the tough situation. I just -- it's a little bit different perspective than used to be before. Before it was all new and all interesting, and now I've been here for already ten years maybe. It's a little bit different. You approach different way. I don't hang out anymore here on the player's lounge. It was the second time in the last two weeks that I went upstairs. You know, so you take at that different way. We spend more time in the city and spend much less time here with the players. But still I love it. I love to do that, otherwise there is no other reason -- nothing else holding me here. Just the results, playing on the court and have this adrenaline when you're playing in front of 5, 10,000 people. It's the most beautiful feeling.
Q 你還像過去常在慶祝勝利般享受打網球嗎
MS 喔﹐那當然。我..我不喜歡輸球﹐熱愛贏球﹐尤其是享受一番激鬥奮戰的時刻。只是﹐看待網球的觀點跟以前不同了。過去﹐什麼都是新鮮有趣的﹐但是現在我已在網壇十年了﹐那感覺是不一樣的﹐你作法自然不同。我不再晃球員大廳了﹐過去兩個禮拜這是第二次我直接上二樓去。你知道的﹐你不再有同樣的作風。我花較長的時間在市區裡﹐較少跟球員聚會﹐但我還是喜歡阿﹐否則﹐我沒有理由再繼續混下去的。比賽的結果﹑在場上較勁﹑於萬人球迷面前打緊張刺激的比賽﹐那是最美最美的感覺了。

Q. When you won here in 2000, Sampras said you were able to be No. 1 in the world for as long a time as you wanted to. Do you think you still can go to the top?
MARAT SAFIN: See, even the geniuses make the mistakes. He was wrong.

Q 你2000年贏美網時﹐山普拉斯說你不只會變成世界第一﹐而且想稱霸多久就多久。你覺得自己還能爬到頂尖嗎。
MS 你看吧﹐就算天才都會犯錯。他預測錯誤啦。

Q. You seem somewhat resigned to taking the losses. Does it bother you at all?
MARAT SAFIN: Why? I just -- the thing is no matter how many times I will explain to the people, doesn't matter how many times the people ask me, they wonder why I didn't win the five Grand Slams, ten Grand Slams, why I only win -- win two and two finals. But once again, if the people look at me when I was 17 and I had no money and my mother gave me only $500 to go Roland Garros and the French Open and try to look for some money, to come from there from having nothing, zero, and to become what I achieve right until now, well, it's a long way. I could have end up anywhere in Moscow or Russia doing God knows what. I'm sitting here and you're asking me pretty nice questions, so I think I did pretty well in my career.

Q 感覺你面對失敗很習以為常的樣子﹐你不覺得困擾嗎
MS 為什麼? 我真的....不管我跟大家解釋多少次﹐不管有幾次人們問我﹐他們不懂我怎麼沒贏五個﹑十個大滿貫﹐而只有兩個獎杯﹐打進兩次決賽。但我要再次強調﹐如果你們看我17 歲的樣子﹐那時身無分文﹐媽媽給我500塊去參加法網試著賺點錢的窘境﹐從那時一無所有﹐到現在我所成就的﹐嗯﹐那真是條漫長的道路。我可能淪落在莫斯科或俄羅斯某處﹐天曉得在幹什麼。而此刻我坐在這裡﹐你們問我一些有趣的問題﹐我想自己職業生涯成績蠻好的。

Q. What do you think you might be doing if you stayed back home?
MARAT SAFIN: I don't want to think about it, because my classmates from school they are not really -- did not do well in their lives. So I don't even want to think about it. So also from where I'm coming from, I did pretty well.
Q 如果還留在家鄉﹐你想自己會做什麼
MS 我不願意想這個﹐我的同學們現在都混得不好﹐所以我不敢想這些。我家鄉的小孩們中﹐我想自己挺有作為的。

Q. In the new Russia, what kind of things have they done, your classmates?
MARAT SAFIN: Nothing. That's the problem. They didn't achieve anything in their lives, and that's only people that I knew back then. At age 17 I had nothing planned and no cash and my sponsor dropped me and nobody wanted to help me in the Federation because it was difficult times. The last source was my mother. She gave me $500 and said, you have luck or you don't have luck. So this is your last hope. Take the $500 and go to the French Open and try to look for some money. So I think this is tough situation, and here sitting here and asking about speculation about how many Grand Slam I should have won, it's a little bit funny.
Q 在現代的俄羅斯﹐你的同學們都在幹什麼
MS 沒做什麼﹐真是糟糕。他們一事無成﹐而他們是當時我認識的人。17歲時﹐我前途茫茫﹑窮困沒錢﹑贊助人不再支持我﹐網協因為經營困難也沒人能幫我。我最後的資助是來自母親﹐她給我500塊美金告訴我﹐你試試看吧﹐不是走運不然就是沒了﹐這是你最後的希望﹐拿這500元去法網試試看吧。那是多麼困窘的情形﹐而今坐在這裡被問到底我該贏幾個滿貫﹐想想是挺諷刺荒謬的。

Q. How do you like Wawrinka's game?
MARAT SAFIN: Today he played pretty well. I didn't expect that he's going play such great tennis for all three sets. I thought he will have a small dip and then I would take I was waiting for it at the end and then he was starting to play better and better. Forehands, even from the forehand, which is not his best side he was winning or making winners down the line. Serving well. Last two sets backhand was great. So I think if he continues to play this way he will be really good, but unfortunately his ranking doesn't go with his game. So I think he played extraordinary today.
Q 你喜歡WAWRINKA 的球風嗎
MS 今天他打得非常好﹐我沒想到三盤他都發揮那麼出色。本來以為他會有點分心﹐然後我趁虛而入﹐一直在等著﹐但是他就是越打越好。連他不擅長的正拍都常能在線上打出致勝球﹐發球很好﹐後兩盤反拍也很強。我想如果他能保持這樣的狀態﹐未來很看好﹐不過他的排名似乎對不上。所以﹐我想今天他是打得特別得好吧。

Q. You mentioned doing things in New York City during the Open. What kind of things?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, there's not much you can do. You can go for a walk in So Ho, typical things. It's not like we doing something extra that other people can't do. But just it's not like every week where I spending time in Europe. So even having coffee outside sitting cafeteria somewhere downtown really it's a big deal. Having coffee I sitting for one hour and looking for the people it's already one of the pleasant moments of the day.

Q 你說在美網期間在紐約逛﹐你都作什麼呢
MS WELL﹐沒做什麼。很典型的﹐比如在蘇活區散步阿。不是做什麼了不起的大事﹐跟大家都差不多的。只是跟我在歐洲的日子不一樣﹐即便在市中心喝個咖啡都不得了。坐下來喝一小時的咖啡﹐看著人來人往﹐那就是每天最愉快的時光了。

Q. What part of the city?
MARAT SAFIN: So Ho. I'm not a big fan of uptown.

Q 市區的哪裡
MS 蘇活 (有名自由藝術家聚集地)。我對住宅區沒興趣。

Q. Do you think you will come to Buenos Aires to play the tournament there?
MARAT SAFIN: No. Too far away.

Q 你會到布宜諾斯愛利斯(阿根廷首都)比賽嗎
MS 不﹐太遠了。

Q. What are your Davis Cup thoughts right now?
MARAT SAFIN: Hi, Jeffrey. Well, depends. We are pretty good team, so doesn't matter who will play there. We're favorites and I think we're going win and be in the final against the States.

Q 現在對DAVIS CUP 想法為何
MS "嗨﹐JEFFERY" (邊露出超迷人的笑容)﹐嗯﹐看情況吧。我們陣容很強的﹐對手要派誰都不要緊。大家都看好我們﹐而我也相信我們會贏﹐然後決賽跟美國一較高低。

Q. Do I think you'll play the States or Sweden?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah. Well, Sweden, I don't know why, but they choose play indoor hard courts. I don't think it's the best surface to play against Americans. But we going to be there.
Q 你覺得美國還是瑞典會贏呢
MS 嗯﹐瑞典﹐我懂為什麼他們要選市內硬地﹐因為面對美國這樣對他們並不利。但我們會去決賽的。

Q. At what point in your life did you become able to put things in perspective the way you have now? Is it recent sort of development?
MARAT SAFIN: No. Intensive years of life. Short but intensive.
Q 什麼時候開始你看事情跟現在一樣呢?是最近才醞釀出來嗎
MS 不是。是來自於特別繁重的生活﹐短﹐卻異常煩忙....

• 1st Round

Marat Safin	7	7	7
Frank Dancevic	5	6	6

M. SAFIN/F. Dancevic INTERVIEW

7-5, 7-6, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: Questions.

Q. Enough going on in that match for you to lose your cool, but you didn't. Are you pleased with the way you kept your poise today?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, pretty much. I was a little bit nervous coming into the match 'cause the guy was playing pretty well the last two months. He did a great result. Here in the States he made the final in Indianapolis, beating Roddick in semifinal, and quarterfinals in Montréal. So he was pretty solid and confident coming here.
I never play against him. He's serving well, returning well, playing great from the baseline, full of confidence. Especially it's a first round, so he has nothing to lose. Anything can happen. It was pretty good.

Q. Did you ever have anything like that happen to you on match point, the sound system going off?
MARAT SAFIN: No. Hopefully it will never happen again (smiling).

Q. A lot of times in the last couple years at Grand Slams you've had tough first and second round matches, paid the price later in the tournament. Was it important to get it over and done with in three sets today?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, yeah. I mean, I was counting it was going to be a tough match, four sets. Didn't know want to go five sets, but it was definitely pretty close to get there. But, like I said, it's tough opponent and I'm pleased that I am going through the first match in three sets. Hopefully the next match, pretty tough also, two pretty good players. Hopefully I can continue this way and keep it short.

Q. How important is it to know you can keep your cool? Maybe proved something to yourself mentally.
MARAT SAFIN: Well, my station is not really the most pleasant right now because I'm trying to defend a lot of points. I didn't really do anything special here in the States. Some bad results, bad losses. Kind of I am trying the new coach. The only thing I have in mind is to fight and hope for the best days. Since I'm practicing already for one week and a half since I finished Cincinnati, been improving a lot. So just try to keep focus, try not to get upset and just work your way, because otherwise, it's tough for me to play and play well, especially when the confidence is not there. So you need to help yourself a little bit more. So that's why I try to be a little bit more calm. But unfortunately sometimes the balls doesn't go my way. Serving at 6-4 in the tiebreak. In the third set, he was a break up on both sets. So it's kind of tough, but you have to deal with it.

Q. Your debut was 10 years ago. You won it a couple years later. You solved the Open. Why do you think you haven't been able to solve it since then?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, good question. I did the semifinal the year after. I lost to Sampras; another bad loss. But, then, I don't know, I was injured a couple of times. I didn't play. And then last year was a good year for me, but I lost 7-6 in the fifth. But of course, losing match (indiscernible) final. For some reason I was not ready for it or I was not playing really well, I was just struggling or something. Something was happening to me.

Q. Do you still look back on the 2000 final as the best match of your career?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, but who cares? It's so far in the past. It's already history. It's a long time ago. It's time to move on (smiling). I hate the people when they still live in the past and saying how great they were in, I don't know, in the past century. Who cares? I'm not this type of person. I try to move on. I try to improve and forget it. Whatever happened, happened. It was good memories, great. But you don't focus on that because there's so much going on, so many things coming to you.

Q. Do you ever think back about that tray of vodka that was rolled into the press conference after you won? Do you remember that?
MARAT SAFIN: No. I was underage (smiling).

Q. Your colleagues rolled in a tray.
MARAT SAFIN: They were drinking. I was just looking.

Q. You weren't drinking?
MARAT SAFIN: No. Under 21. I couldn't (smiling).

Q. If you don't want to look back on it, do you look forward, see yourself doing that again? Do you see yourself winning this tournament?
MARAT SAFIN: We prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It's kind of this way I'm looking forward.

Q. What is "preparing for the worst"?
MARAT SAFIN: Because the worst is I will never win. Hoping for the best that there is a chance to win. So I guess whenever I have the opportunity I will take it, but unfortunately they're not coming. I'm not getting any further than the third round.For me to make quarterfinal, it's a huge, huge deal lately. So kind of not expecting anything from this tournament and nothing from this year. But, if I -- well, at least I started to play better. I think Hernan is doing a great job. He explain to me what happened. Everything what happened I think is due to my knee injury I had to deal with for two years. But basically I hope that I will have a chance to win another Grand Slam. It's tougher and tougher, but why not? There is a chance. If Federer will lose to somebody, somebody will withdraw, Nadal will have something happen to him, the door is open (smiling).

Q. You mentioned people who sort of live in the past. Do you think that happens a lot in tennis?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, why you asking me this question? Because I said something before?

Q. Yes.
MARAT SAFIN: No, no, I didn't really find. Thank God I didn't meet these kind of people, and I hope there is none of them in tennis because otherwise it would be pretty disappointing to explain the people of our age how beautiful was tennis like 30 years ago, for example.Every part of life, it's a new era. We are living in 2007. Who cares about -- with all due respect, we respect the explayers that have been great for tennis. But that's it. They're good. Great history. They won. Good for them. But to explain that it was better, was more interesting, it's nonsense. I guess people are moving on. They really appreciate that and respect that, I hope. I never met such a person, and I hope I will never meet.

Q. Will it matter to you 30 years from now when somebody says, Marat Safin won the US Open and somebody says, I don't care?
MARAT SAFIN: Who cares? I will not care. I had been doing something else in my life and hopefully I will be happy. Also Henman is retiring. He has been great for tennis. Even though the English press was not very nice to him, I think he did very well for the English people and English tennis, because there is none of the players.
Investing so many millions and they have only Henman and Murray. That's it. So I think he did pretty decent career. But, still, who will care about him in three years?

Q. His children.
MARAT SAFIN: Exactly. That's the only people that care: Family.

Q. What is your motivation level right now to be the best player you can be?
MARAT SAFIN: At maximum, because otherwise I won't be here. It's not like I'm struggling with the money. It's not like I need it. I'm here just because I want to play and I'm enjoying playing. I'm enjoying fighting. I'm enjoying what I'm doing.

Q. Are you motivated to play?
MARAT SAFIN: Because I like to travel, you think (smiling)? Even though I'm travelling first class and business. But, still, to be on the court, to run around, to have this feeling well after you win a match, is think is the most beautiful feeling in the world you're going to get. Afterwards, when someone is retiring, I think you are going to miss this feeling. So I think it kind of attracts you. It's what is moving you. And you still want to win matches and matches, so I think the motivation is there.

Q. Short of an injury to Nadal or Federer, how do you break into that rivalry? How does another player crack in?
MARAT SAFIN: Djokovic is there. Well, you have to be consistent. You have to have the opportunities. You have to be ready. You have to be motivated. You have to be hungry. You have to be really well guided with the coach and the people around, and then take your opportunities. It's pretty simple, but at the same time it's pretty tough because it's tough to be consistent during the year. It's only two people that can manage to do that: Nadal and Federer. To be in the same train with them you have to be really focused and you have to sacrifice a lot of things and you have to be doing semifinals and finals every week.And, of course, you have to choose the right calendar to play. That's the work of the coach. I think the coach, he plays a big part in it to guide the player, especially when he's young. It's a tough job.

Q. Many people have always felt that you could possibly have achieved more. Is that sacrifice too much for some people?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, Agassi could have won 20 Grand Slams, for example. Sampras should have won a little bit more. There's always going to be -- Rios, for example. He should have won 10 Grand Slams, but it didn't happen. If I will tell you the situation I was in when I was 17 and I had no money, I wouldn't be here sitting. So I think I did pretty well from where I'm coming from. I'm not disappointed with my career. Of course, would be greater if I would win the two finals that I lost in the Australian Open. And, of course, it would be great to win at Roland Garros. But the circumstances that was a desperate of time, I think I did pretty well. So I don't have any regrets.

Q. What advice did you give Gumy when he decided to be your coach?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, he called me, because I had nobody to travel with, to come here, because Alexander, he couldn't come. I was pretty disappointed because my tennis wasn't at my peak. So give it a shot. Why not?
I think he understands. He understood actually, and he explained to me what happened because I was kind of lost and I couldn't really understand why it was happening to me. I felt like tennis has improved so much that the players are much faster, but it's not. It's just because some things I would have to change on the court, small things, just the movement because of my knee injury that I was suffering and was getting worse and worse and worse because I was trying to protect my leg. Anyway, it's details. But he understood and he explained. So I think it's on the right direction and hopefully we'll continue this way.

Q. What has been the biggest enemy in your career: Your mind or your body?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, I think my body. The two injuries, because I was playing great tennis coming into Australian Open 2003 when I had problems with my wrist and 2005 when I went in Australian Open and got injured. Was getting worse, worse and worse, and I didn't know why it was happening to me till I couldn't play anymore. At that time I was playing great tennis. It kind of broke the rhythm of my career. I could have achieved more, but I didn't.

Q. What was your reaction to the investigation of Davydenko? Have you spoken with him?
MARAT SAFIN: I don't care about what the people. It's their business. I don't want to be involved with that. I want to be outside of that. I don't want to hear the stories. I don't want to know anything. I'm not really interested.If Davydenko, he has to answer some questions into his life, the life of ATP, I'm going to stay out of it.

Q. This is the only major with a breaker in the fifth set. Do you think that should change?
MARAT SAFIN: Of course, it should change. Of course. They should've changed last year. If I win a couple of them I would be not 25, I would be 15. This was a huge change. But unfortunately I lost all of them. Hopefully it will not happen again. Half of it is a lottery. Of course, when you don't have a confidence it's tough to win then because it's just a matter of one, two points, and the nerves of course are jumping a little bit more than a usual set.

Q. You won a challenge today. Do you still disbelieve the camera thing?
MARAT SAFIN: Hawk Eye?

Q. Yes.
MARAT SAFIN: What happened with it?

Q. You have never really agreed it was accurate before.
MARAT SAFIN: No, well, it's much better than not to have it for sure because the serves are going pretty fast. It's pretty difficult for the chair umpire to make a good decision. You're taking such responsibility. Imagine it happens 6-All in a tiebreak in the fifth set, you want to kill the guy. If he makes a mistake and you know he is making mistake, but at least you have a chance to see it and a chance to prove it, be more relieved.

Q. So when you see it now, you're believing it more than you used to?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, much more. Of course, I think they've been improving. It's getting better and better, more accurate.
