BREAKING NEWS: Marat has a New coach !!
MARAT 有新教練了!!

new hardcourt season - new beginnings for Marat!

Friday 13 July 2007

Marat has today arrived in Los Angeles to begin the start of the US Open Series and the hardcourt season.
He is still very determined to get his season on track and as such Marat is pleased to announce the appointment of Hernan Gumy of Argentina as his new coach. They will start together from the Countrywide Classic in Los Angeles.

MARAT 已經抵達LA﹐並展開US OPEN 系列賽及硬地賽季。

他決心要在此賽季有所作為﹐且極興奮地宣布他任用了阿根廷籍的新教練 HERNAN GUMY。這次LA 的 Countrywide Classic便要開始合作。

This change was unfortunately brought about by the fact that his good friend and coach Alexander Volkov has found that despite all his good intentions of being able to spend as much time as possible with Marat - his many other commitments have meant that he cannot give Marat the extra time he would like at this stage and so they have decided on an amicable parting.

因為MARAT 的好友兼教練VOLKOV 發現雖然他非常想幫MARAT也盡力播出時間﹐但是他其他的事務煩忙心有餘力不足﹐所以兩人師徒關係畫上友好的句點。

Hernan Gumy had a successful tennis career as a player and since moving to coaching , he has coached Gustavo Kuerten, Guillermo Canas and most recently Guillermo Coria. As a Spanish speaker he and Marat are able to communicate and in a way Marat is returning to his roots - his career started out in Spain and with a Spanish coach. In fact in Hernan's last years as a player - he and Marat played in some of the same tournaments.

HERNAN GUMY 曾是個優秀的球員﹐轉職為教練後曾經指導過 GUGA﹐ CANAS﹐及CORIA。由於母語也是西班牙文﹐兩人溝通沒有問題﹐換個角度看﹐MARAT 也像是回溯到自己的根-他職業生涯就是從西班牙開始﹐那時的教練也是西班人。HERNAN 退休前還曾跟MARAT 對陣過幾次。

For full details of Hernan Gumy's playing career please check the player details on the ATP website click here.

Marat said :
I am grateful to Sasha Volkov who in the last couple of years has always been there when I needed him, as a friend and coach, starting from Toronto 2000 and then the US Open 2000. He has been with me through many difficult periods of injury and I could always call on him as a friend.
He is in the US at the moment with the Russian Fed Cup team and then he has other commitments during the summer.
For me I feel that this summer is crucial for my career and I am determined to do something.
非常感謝SASHA (VOLKOV)過去幾年來在我需要時總是陪伴我﹐亦師亦友﹐一切從2000年 TORONTO大師賽及美網開始的。在我受傷暫別網壇的低潮期﹐他不錯棄我而去﹐總是能夠得到依靠。此刻他跟俄國女子聯邦杯球隊一同旅行﹐之後今年夏天他有新的事業要忙。我覺得這個夏季對我的職業生涯至為關鍵﹐我決心要有所改變。
I felt encouraged after my matches in Wimbledon and although I did not beat Roger, I did feel that I started to play better in the 3rd set. Although I felt encouraged I also realised I need to do something with my game to make sure I get back where I want to be - in the Top 10.
So I know I need to get fitter and Miguel Maseo will be there as my fitness trainer.
And with a new coach I feel that I can bring something more to my game. I look forward to working with Hernan with his experience. It is a new start in time for the Hardcourt season. I do not have a lot of points to defend this summer so I want to work hard and do well. My ranking is now 22 and my goal is to get higher.
I know I can improve and I will do my very best to be there again.
在溫網之後我受到激勵﹐雖然沒能打敗ROGER﹐但是在第三盤我越打越順手了。雖然重燃信心我也意識到我必須在自己的球技/戰術上有所突破﹐這樣才能達自己重回前十的目標。我很清楚自己體能要更好﹐MAESO 將繼續擔任我的體能訓練師。而有了新教練﹐我想能夠提昇自己的層次﹐非常期待借重他的豐富經驗的合作模式。硬地賽季即將開跑﹐今夏我沒有太多保積分的壓力﹐因此我真的想要好好振作把球打好。我現在的排名是世界第22﹐而目標就是能提高排名。我深信我定會進步﹐也一定會努力實現夢想。
I wish a great summer to all my fans.
祝各位球迷們有個美好的夏季

Press Conference
M. Safin -Thursday, 28 June, 2007

Marat Safin (RUS) defeated Aisam Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4)

Q. Grass has historically not been your best surface, but you have played Roger very tough on grass, and you beat him before. Nobody quite knows which Marat Safin will be there to play Federer in the next round.
Q 過去以來草地你一向不喜歡草地﹐但你曾經在草地狠狠威脅到 FEDERER﹐而且也打敗過他。沒人能預測 MARAT SAFN 在下一輪面對 FEDERER 時會是什麼狀態。

MARAT SAFIN: For me it's another opportunity to play a great match. First of all, for me it's a huge challenge. Centre Court, play against Federer. He's playing pretty well. He's playing great tennis. If I want to have a chance at least to be close to beat him, I have of course to put up my best game, go for it. Also I have nothing to lose because he's the favorite here. He's playing pretty good tennis on grass. It's his best surface, I guess. But also, like I said, I have nothing to lose. I need to play my tennis, stay focused, take my chances. For sure there are going to be. Just wait and see. Of course, why not? Like I said, it's a challenge. Why not?
MS 對我而言﹐這是另個打一場好球的機會。首先﹐這是極大的挑戰﹐在中央球場打FEDERER。他打得非常好﹐狀態佳﹐如果我想打敗他﹐當然是必須打出最佳狀態﹐拚盡全力。我也沒什麼可輸的﹐反正他是最被看好的球員。我想﹐這是他最擅長的場地﹐不過﹐如我所說﹐我也沒什麼好怕的﹐就是打我的球﹐專注並把握每個機會﹐一定會有機會可趁的﹐到時候就知道了。沒錯﹐為何不可能呢﹐我就啦﹐這是個挑戰﹐有何不可能呢。

Q. When you were serving at 2 3 in the third set today, up 40 15, he hit a ball that was clearly long. The baselines woman failed to call it out, and the umpire, refused your request to overrule. Do you think this Hawk Eye system is any more accurate than these lines people?
Q 第三盤當局數2-3 你正在發球﹐比分為40-15時﹐對手的回球很明顯過長﹐但線審沒喊﹐主審也拒絕改判。你認為鷹眼系統比線審準確嗎?

MARAT SAFIN: Linesmen are not Hawk Eye. All the human beings are making mistakes, and it's okay.
MS 線審們不是鷹眼。人總會犯錯﹐沒關係的。

Q. Do you think Hawk Eye is accurate?
Q 你覺得鷹眼準嗎?

MARAT SAFIN: Hawk Eye is the best thing we can have right now.
MS 鷹眼大概是目前我們最好的工具吧。

Q. Do you think it's accurate?
Q 你覺得它正確嗎
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, yeah.
MS 嗯﹐是阿

Q. You complained about the prices of the food at Wimbledon. What about the standard of the food that players are served? Should they be given more international cuisine?
Q 你抱怨溫網伙食費太昂貴。球員的伙食應該是怎樣的水平呢﹐應該多元化一點嗎

MARAT SAFIN: Compared to the prices, for a plate of pasta, it's costing around £10, right? For £10, which is $20, you can have a great pasta at Cipriani in New York.
MS 價格上來比較吧﹐一盤義大利麵﹐這裡是10塊歐元吧﹐同樣的價錢﹐也就是美金20元﹐在紐約 CIPRIANI你可以點一盤很豐盛的麵食。

Q. What is the quality like?
Q 那水平如何呢?

MARAT SAFIN: Definitely not the Cipriani of New York. Everybody knows this restaurant. I think it's one of the best restaurants in New York. Also in Moscow, one of the most expensive, and we have a better pasta for 20 bucks, that's for sure.
Q 跟紐約的CIPRIANI 根本無法相比。每個人都知道這間餐廳﹐我個人覺得是紐約最好的其中之一。在莫斯科﹐就算是最貴的﹐20塊錢﹐我們也絕對能吃到更好的。

Q. You mentioned it's important for you to keep your focus against Federer. Is that a struggle for you in every match, keeping focus?
Q 你提到打 FEDERER 你需要非常專注。對你來說﹐每一場比賽保持專注總是很掙扎嗎

MARAT SAFIN: It's kind of complicated sometimes when I'm playing well because sometimes you start to have your fears because you're a little bit under pressure sometimes, you're not playing well. Also you're too tight. Of course, it's difficult to move, it's difficult to hold the concentration balance. You start to panic. When you try to loosen up, you loosen up too much. It's kind of difficult to find golden point. Unfortunately been like this for already quite long time. So hopefully look like I played pretty well these last two matches. To play against Federer, of course it will be easy to keep the focus, that's for sure.
MS 說來有些複雜﹐有時打得好時﹐自己漸漸感到恐懼﹐之後在壓力之下﹐便打不好了﹐當然﹐那時自己會放不開﹐那麼就很難移位﹐注意力就難集中﹐自己便會越來越恐慌。你試著放鬆自己﹐卻又太過頭了﹐拿捏上很難阿。很糟糕的是﹐我這種樣子已經好一陣子了﹐最近兩場比賽都打得很好﹐希望我能維持下去。打FEDERER﹐不用說﹐你自然會非常專心的。

Q. Do you bring your own sandwiches?
Q 你帶自己的三明治嗎

MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, sure. No, of course not. Of course, I have to deal with that. A lot of players, they have to deal with that. Of course, we can have better quality, that's for sure.
MS 是阿。不﹐當然沒有。我得要適應這種情況﹐很多球員也一樣。他們應該供應更好的餐點﹐那是無庸置疑的。

Q. Can you talk about your opponent today? How do you think he played?
Q 可否談談今天的對手? 你覺得他打得怎樣?

MARAT SAFIN: I never saw the guy. I never saw him play. A lot of people, they said that he's pretty tough, serves well, good volleys, good hands, very dangerous player. I saw they were right. All of them were right. He beat Gasquet in Halle. He's a great player. He knows how to play.
MS 我沒見過他﹐也沒看過他比賽。很多人說他不好應付﹐發球有威力﹐擅於截擊﹐手感好﹐很危險的對手。他們說的沒錯﹐在哈雷他打敗 GASQUET﹐的確是個優秀的球員﹐很清楚要如何打好球。

Q. You mentioned after your first match you weren't very confident. What degree of confidence do you need going into a match against Federer?
Q 你也提到第一輪比賽自己不是太有信心﹐面對FEDERER 你需要多大的自信呢

MARAT SAFIN: All of it. You need have all of it if you want to compete on the same level as him. You have to bring up your best game. But, of course, the first match is always tough because you kind of nervous, it's a grass court, it's windy, then it's raining, it's stopping, it's raining, it's stopping. All these factors, of course it's pretty tough for the first match to play great tennis and be as confident as you can be. But looks today like I played well, moved quite well. Looking forward for the match.
MS 最大的信心。要跟他較量絕對需要有完全的自信﹐打出自己最好的狀態。第一輪比賽總是很困難的﹐因為你有點緊張﹐又是草地﹐風勢強﹐雨下下停停﹐因素很多﹐所以打第一輪要帶著自信上場不容易。不過看來我打得很好﹐移位也很好﹐很期待下一場比賽。

Q. Where is your level of confidence now?
Q 現在的信心程度多高

MARAT SAFIN: There. We'll see tomorrow (smiling).
MS 那麼高。明天就知道啦 (微笑)。

Q. What do you like most about Wimbledon and what do you dislike most about Wimbledon, apart from the prices?
除了物價以外﹐你溫網最喜歡什麼﹐最討厭什麼。

MARAT SAFIN: Well, of course, what I like is the tradition. What I like is they improved a lot of site. Great facilities for the players to be inside. I mean, like the garden upstairs. The restaurant area, plenty of space. Pretty comfortable. You can go to Aorangi through the tunnel. You don't have to go with all the people. Great locker rooms. Great showers. No, showers is really important. If you see them, you understand what I'm talking about.
MS 嗯﹐我喜歡它的傳統﹐他們硬體上改善很多﹐球員有很好的設備可用﹐比如像樓上的花園啦﹐餐廳那裡﹐還有其他地方都很舒適﹐你可以從通道直達AORANGI﹐不必跟一堆人一起走﹔更衣室很好﹔淋浴室很棒﹐不﹐淋浴室是最重要的﹐如果你看到了就明白我的意思。

Q. And dislike?
不喜歡的?

MARAT SAFIN: And dislike? Like I said, a little bit the quality of the food and, of course, the prices. I mean, like it's not enough an extra £5 doesn't hurt anybody. To eat strawberries and have a cup of coffee at least, and, of course, the same day is the same thing: chicken, pasta. They could have done better for the prices.
MS 不喜歡的?就像我講的﹐餐飲的品質欠佳﹐價格不公道。我想﹐多給大家5塊歐元並不困難吧。起碼可以吃草莓﹑喝杯咖啡﹐還好﹐同樣的日子都是同樣的東西:雞肉﹑義大利麵﹐這樣的價錢實在足夠提供更好品質的伙食才對。

Q. You faced a lot of breakpoints in these first two matches, but you've also defended almost every one of them. Are you concerned you're facing so many breakpoints or how feeling good you defended so many of them?

MARAT SAFIN: Both ways. Well, Federer also, he is even the best player in the world, he has also has these Love 30 things, 15 40, also defends them pretty well. It's not to be scared of defending them. It's just to face them and win them because, anyway, anybody can have chance against you and anybody can get there. With two lucky shots, with one like two lucky shots, that's it, you're down 15 40 easy in a matter of seconds (snapping fingers). All of a sudden, you find yourself in not a really pleasant position. You need to face, you need to face in the right way, know what you're doing, how you're going to play. To make a long story short, just be careful. It's just a breakpoint. You didn't lose the game yet.

Interview after the match:

M. Safin - 26 June
Tuesday, 26 June, 2007

Q. How do you think you played today?
Q 今天自認打得如何

MARAT SAFIN: Well, for the conditions, first match at Wimbledon is pretty tough to play well, so kind of nervous at the beginning, and a difficult match with the guy I played. It was okay the first match, I think.
MS 嗯﹐就現況來講﹐溫網的第一輪總是很艱難的﹐一開始不由得緊張起來﹐對手打起來又不順很辛苦。我想﹐還算OK吧。

Q. You're up against Qureshi next from Pakistan. Do you know much about this guy?
Q 下一輪要面對巴基斯坦的QURESHI 。你對他認識多少
MARAT SAFIN: Neither. I don't even know how he looks unfortunately. I guess he's playing pretty good tennis if he passed the quallie, he qualified, he won the three set match today. So I guess tough opponent second round. We'll see how it's going to be.
MS 完全沒概念﹐我甚至不曉得他長什麼樣子。我想他應該打得很少﹐才能通過資格賽﹐又在今天三盤就晉級。所以﹐下一輪又將是場硬仗﹐就看怎麼進展囉。

Q. Are you going to have your spies out doing some research on this guy?
Q 你要不要派人打聽這傢伙的底細呢
MARAT SAFIN: Not really, not really (smiling). We'll see tomorrow.
MS 沒有﹐沒有啦(微笑)。明天看看吧。

Q. Is there anything that you feel you need to practice on after today's game? Is there anything you thought was missing from the way you played?
Q 今天的比賽之後有否覺得自己該加強訓練的地方? 今天的表現自認有什麼缺失?
MARAT SAFIN: Not really. I played another match, and just a little bit of confidence. Everything is up to the confidence. Even if you're playing bad, you win a couple of matches, then you might have a surprise and start to play well and you start to make some results. I'll play the next match, and I face Federer in the third round. That's my goal, and then see how it's going to go. First of all, let's play tomorrow, see how it's hopefully everything will end up in a nice way, and then it's going to be the next match. Not really looking too far.
MS 沒什麼特別想法。我又打了一場比賽﹐提高一些自信心。其實萬事取決於信心﹐即使打得不好﹐贏了幾場之後﹐你可能開始驚訝自己越打越順﹐成績更好。我將迎戰下一輪比賽﹐第三輪跟FEDERER 對戰﹐這就是我的目標﹐然後看看情形如何。首先﹐我們明天先好好打﹐希望一切順利﹐再進入下一輪。我沒有想太遠。

Q. Do you have the confidence at the moment?
Q 此刻具有信心嗎
MARAT SAFIN: No, I don't.
MS 沒有

Q. You have no confidence at the moment?
Q 你現在沒自信嗎
MARAT SAFIN: I have no confidence at the moment.
MS 我現在沒有自信。

Q. How come? What's wrong with your confidence?
Q 為什麼 ? 你的信心出了什麼問題
MARAT SAFIN: Well, because I'm not winning a lot of matches lately, because I've been struggling for the past couple of months, more than a couple of months. So how are you going to build up the confidence? The confidence comes with winning matches and playing a lot of semifinals, finals. The last time I played the semifinal was in March, so that's where my confidence has left me.
MS WELL﹐最近贏球率不高﹐過去幾個月都在掙扎﹐嗯﹐可能不只幾個月而已。所以﹐我怎麼建立信心呢。自信來自於贏球﹐一直晉級四強或決賽上。上次打進四強已經三月的事情了﹐在那之後﹐自信離我而去~~

Q. How did you feel when your confidence was at your lowest?
Q 信心很脆弱時的感覺如何
MARAT SAFIN: Well, just try to make small goals and try to play try to pick up any moments, any matches, and then whenever I have a big time breakthrough, then that's what counts. But you need to pick up all the small matches and play set by set, match by match and game by game.
MS 就是訂定一些目標﹐試著在任何時刻﹑任何比賽找到感覺﹐只有一有突破﹐就對我很有幫助。不過﹐你要抓緊每一場比賽﹐一盤一盤﹐一場一場地來。

Q. You said you've got Federer in the third round if you get past Qureshi. You've beaten him before at the Australian Open.
Q 你提到如果打敗QURESHI﹐第三輪要對戰FEDERER。你在澳網曾擊敗他阿。
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, I need to play my next match against Qureshi so let's look at this one first. My position shouldn't be looking any farther than my second round match.
MS 是阿﹐我將面對QURESHI﹐所以應該先專注於這一場比賽。就我的現狀而言﹐我不該好高騖遠﹐就先想第二輪吧。

Q. Do you think people worry too much about Federer, get too nervous when they play him, give him too much respect?
Q 你覺得大家是不是太擔憂面對FEDERER了﹐一面對他就緊張得不得了﹐太過崇拜他?
MARAT SAFIN: I don't really think about Federer. Any other players don't really, really care, and why should I care about them?
MS 我沒想那麼多。其他球員也沒有太在意吧﹐況且﹐我為何要在意別人的想法?
