Andy Murray: I’d have quit Australian Open if father-in-law had not recovered
安迪 莫瑞：如果岳父的狀況沒有恢復良好我可能就退賽了
Andy Murray admits he has to tame his frayed emotions if he is to have any
hope of winning the Australian Open.
安迪 莫瑞承認說如果他有機會贏得澳網冠軍，他就必須控制好他的情緒
In an emotional interview after reaching the quarter-finals for the seventh
year in a row – by beating Bernard Tomic in three tense sets on Monday – he
also revealed he would have withdrawn from the tournament immediately had his
father-in-law, Nigel Sears, not recovered so quickly after collapsing in the
stands two days before.
在晉級八強後的記者會上，他說如果他岳父沒有恢復的這麼快的話，
他可能在星期一的比賽前就退賽了。
“If the news was not positive, then, no, there was absolutely no chance
I would have kept playing,” Murray said before his match against
David Ferrer on Wednesday.
「如果醫院給的訊息不是正面的，那麼，我絕對不可能繼續比賽。」莫瑞說
“It was a tough couple of days. There is a lot of stuff going on right now,
back home as well. It has not been easy for anyone.”
「這幾天真的很困難，很多事情都在發生，在家裡也是，對每個人都是不容易的。」
The 58-year-old father of Andy’s wife, Kim, who is expecting the couple’s
first child in the next few weeks, was released from hospital after overnight
tests and was already on his way back from Melbourne to London as Murray was
finishing off his match against Tomic in Rod Laver Arena.
安迪的岳父在醫院觀察一晚後出院，並已在從墨爾本飛往倫敦的路上了，同時間，
莫瑞正在Rod Laver Arena與 Tomic比賽中。
That is the stadium where Sears blacked out on Saturday night while Andy
was playing on the adjacent Margaret Court Arena, oblivious to the drama
until informed after the match by his mother, Judy. Murray spent several
hours by Sears’s bedside and again the following day. He admitted it
interrupted his preparation but was unconcerned.
這是Sears在週六暈倒的場館，當時Andy正在隔壁的Margaret Court Arena比賽，
很明顯的，他是直到賽後才由母親Judy告知他發生什麼事。
“Me and Nige are very close,” Murray said. “We spend a lot of time
together. I’ve known him longer than I’ve known Kim, almost, because
of what he does. It was tough.
「我跟Nige很親近，我們花很多時間相處，因為他的工作性質，我認識他幾乎
比我認識Kim久。這件事的發生真的很難承受。」
“The fact I was able to handle everything that has happened the last few
days is a good sign. I wasn’t perfect today – far from it – and I didn’t
expect to be before I went on the court. I did show a lot of emotion and
was very expressive on the court, animated from almost the first point of
the match, the first game of the match – and I expected to feel that way.
But I think in the next few days I will definitely be a lot calmer, get some
good rest in and I think I will be fine now.”
「其實我能好好應付過去幾天所發生的事情，是一個好跡象。雖然我今天的表現並
不完美－離完美差遠了，而且我在賽前並不預期我可以達到完美的狀態。我在場上
顯露不少情緒出來，從比賽的第一分開始就是這樣，而我也預期我會有這樣的感覺。
但我想在未來幾天我絕對可以比較平靜多了，好好的休息，我想我將會好一些了。」
Murray is joined in the quarter-finals by Johanna Konta – the first time
that has happened to British players in both the men’s and women’s singles
draw of a major championship since Sue Barker, John Lloyd and Robin Drysdale
managed it at the Australian Open in 1977.
與Murray一樣進入八強賽的還有Konta。
這是自1977年澳網的Sue Barker, John Lloyd and Robin Drysdale以後，
第一次英國都有選手進入任何大賽的男單與女單的八強賽。
Konta, who beat the 21st seed, Ekaterina Makarova, in three sets, plays
the unseeded Chinese qualifier Zhang Shuai, who has lost in the first round
of all 14 of her previous major appearances. If, as expected, the British
No1 wins, she will play either the seventh seed, Angelique Kerber, or
Victoria Azarenka, seeded 14 on her return from injury but playing tennis
to rival that of the world No1 and defending champion, Serena Williams.
Konta擊敗21種子的Makarova，將會遇到張帥。如果如預期，英國女單第一獲勝，她將
再下一輪遇到Kerber及Azarenka這場的勝方。
