官網心血來潮訪問了Berdych

This year, you've really been “Mr. Consistency" – how satisfied are you
with your season thus far, given that you’ve been in the latter stages of
tournaments so frequently?

It's great to have been so consistent as I wanted to do that before the
season started, but I am also missing big results, so I'm looking forward to
trying to go further the rest of the year. But so far, the season has been
solid… I'm just missing something more.

穩定先生，基本上就是沒啥出色成績，但大部分賽事都拿到能維持在Top 10的積分。

Speaking of that, your last singles title came in Munich over two years ago.
What do you need to do to get back in the winner's circle?

It's pretty tough. I’ve made a lot of quarter-finals and semi-finals but I'm
missing one or two match wins. I need to bring a higher level of my game to
those big matches so I can have some good results again.

不說都忘記很久沒拿冠軍了。

How do you like the changes in Cincinnati, now that it is a combined event,
making it feel like a larger tournament?

It’s a nice event. They’ve made huge improvements with the facilities and
all the courts. They did a great job in making two tournaments into one
combined together, so all respect to them.

You were the first one to advance to the third round here in Cincinnati
today. You’ll play either Nicolas Almagro or Ivo Karlovic next, two
completely different game styles. What are your thoughts on the potential
matchups?

I played Karlovic last week in Montreal and it was another tough match. He’s
a big serving guy and doesn’t give you much rhythm from the baseline as he
likes to play aggressive. And then Almagro has played really well the last
couple of months, playing great tennis. We’ll see how the match plays out
and I’ll be prepared to play the winner.

The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup this year. You’re a huge Red Wings fan
… what are their chances of reclaiming the title after last winning it in
2008?

I’m a fan of the Red Wings but I was rooting for the Bruins as well because
they also have Czech guys playing there. They did a great job, especially
David Krejci as he had the most points in the playoffs which is a big
achievement for him. I’m not a guy who should be judging whether or not the
Red Wings can do better. I know some of the guys there, particularly the
Czech ones, like Jiri Hudler. They know what they need to do and I think
they'll have a strong team again next season.

最後談了一下今年的史坦利盃，棕熊拿下冠軍，還有身為紅翼球迷的展望。
