An interview with:

TOMMY HAAS

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Congratulations. Do you remember the last time you beat a No. '1?

恭喜 你還記得上次打敗世界第一是多久前的事嗎?

TOMMY HAAS: Somebody just told me. So, yeah, but I don't know who was
it, though?

有人告訴我了 不過我不知道是誰

Q. Agassi, '99, in Germany.

TOMMY HAAS: Oh, yeah? Well, it's been 13 years, something like that, right?

是嗎? 那相隔13年了

Q. Talk about the feeling. Did you believe all along that you could put him
away?

你相信你可以打敗世界第一嗎?

TOMMY HAAS: Well, you know, I mean, I had the mentality tonight going out
there believing in it. You've got to, you know.

心理上要相信你可以的

Just from last week, you know, playing somebody like Del Potro who gives me
quite a bit of trouble, you know, I sort of had a game plan. I went out and
nothing seemed to really work, you know, and I didn't really have a game plan
B.

上周對Del Potro時打得不順 實在沒有辦法應變

I was just frustrated with the way I played and tried to totally, you know,
focus and tried to, you know, approach this match totally different.

You know, last couple of times I played Novak was in Shanghai last year and
Toronto, and Toronto we had a really good battle, which I was really happy
about the way I played; he played just better in the end.

去年在多倫多感覺打得不錯 只是最後Djokovic打得比我好些

Tonight I had a good game plan, I thought. Conditions, you know, maybe now
looking back, favored me a little bit with the game that I played against him
tonight. You know, it was tough out there with the swirling wind.

今晚我有好的計畫 球場狀況對我也有利一點

You know, I'm just really happy and proud of that tonight against such a
great player who has been dominating the sport the past couple of years. I
really took advantage of the opportunities I've gotten. You know, I think I
played extremely well.

我覺得今晚打得非常好 把握了機會 尤其對手是過去幾年主宰網壇的偉大選手

He gave me a lot of looks, and I took advantage of it.

Q. Is this the reason you still are playing, is for nights like this?

TOMMY HAAS: You got it, yeah.

Q. How do you feel with the support of the people on the stadium?

對於場上支持者(觀眾)你的想法是?

TOMMY HAAS: It's very nice. I mean, any time you play such big events on
the stadium, it's always just a great pleasure to go out No. 1.

非常好 當你在這樣大的賽事比賽 能淘汰世界第一是一項光榮

Like he just said, this is what you play for, or I play for. These are the
moments I appreciate the most, going on those big stadiums, big stages,
playing against the best people in the world.

Playing against something like Novak and coming out on top at this time of my
career, it's unbelievable. You know, it goes up as one of my, you know, most
best wins of my career. You know, the fans I hope, enjoyed it.

贏Djokovic算是令人不可置信的 是目前我生涯中最好的獲勝之一
希望觀眾們能享受這一切

Miami is also sort of late night loud crowd, and I think they really
appreciate good tennis.

Q. It was pretty hot until the last couple of days here, and then these
conditions were not really expected. Did you have to do any adjustment to
your game plan based on temperature, the wind, and everything?

前些日子很熱 但現在的情形不是所預期的
你有針對溫度 風向等作調整嗎?

TOMMY HAAS: Yeah. I mean, when I woke up this morning obviously felt that it
was a little bit chilly out there, and I looked at the weather report and saw
it was going to be really cold and windy tonight. I wasn't happy about it.

當我今天早上起來感覺有點冷 我就看了氣象報告 上面說今晚會很冷且風會很大
我不是那麼喜歡

This is unusual for Miami time, you know, to have a drop. I think it's
supposed to be even colder tomorrow. It's not great for me, especially with
you know, my body likes the heat, you know, to stay warm. You know, it's
something that you have no control over, either.

我想這在Miami是不尋常的 這對我不是好事 不過這沒法控制的

You know, you adjust with the racquet tension and, you know, mentally prepare
yourself for it. All you can do is just do the best out there and try to
adjust.

我能做的就是心理調整好 球拍做好調整 去適應

Q. When was the last time you played at such a level and maintained it pretty
much the entire match?

上次你能整場表現這樣好是多久前的事?

TOMMY HAAS: I don't know. I have had some, you know, good results last year.
Probably in Halle maybe where I won the tournament, you know.

You know, you go back to obviously where you maybe have won matches against
top players like that, against Roger, maintained a really high level.

It's tough obviously. It's one of the biggest challenges out there. You know,
even looking at Novak Djokovic's results the last two years, two and a half
years, it's just crazy, you know. You look at Roger last eight, nine years,
and Nadal, how tough they are and maintaining that level.

It's something really special. Not everybody has that gift. So I'm happy to
have done it somehow a little bit tonight.

Q. He won 11 straight points; got the break back. A lot of the people in the
stadium, I'm sure, were thinking, Oh, man, this guy is almost 35. The wheels
are falling off. What were you thinking? How did you pull it together?

TOMMY HAAS: Yeah, I wasn't happy, you know. I had 3 1, I think, and had a
couple of break points, or one, I'm not sure. Didn't convert it. Then I lost
I know I lost eight points in a row for him to go up 4 3. I just wasn't
happy with the way I gave those points away, really.

I didn't think anything else of it. I just didn't make the right shots, shot
selection that needed to be happening. You know, I didn't give him a chance
to pass me or win those points. I just kind of gave it away.

I think with four unforced errors to break back, and then, yeah, I just tried
to regroup in the changeover and tell myself, Try to hold here to go to 4 All
and keep it tight. If you have a chance, play a little bit different than
before.

That's exactly what happened.

Q. A few years ago when you had to come off the tour because of all the
injuries and the time you spent away, at that stage could have imagined
almost 35 years of age you'd still be playing at this level and producing a
win against world No. 1?

從受傷後回來你能想像你35歲還在打且能從世界第一拿到勝利嗎?

TOMMY HAAS: Not really. You know, there were times I wouldn't have believed
that, no way. But, you know, when I came back after my hip surgery it was a
grueling, you know, I don't know, 9 months, 12 months before I actually felt
like I can sort of train again and get in better shape and sort of maybe feel
like I can move and give myself a chance to at least try to go for some
victories again that I would enjoy.

You know, somewhere in the middle of last year, sometime in April, May, my
body sort of adjusted a lot, got better, and I could train. You know, if you
can't train and put in the hard yards in this sport anymore, you know, you're
not going to get far. You know, not at least to the point where maybe you
have a chance against a top player.

From experience, you know, luckily I know that, and luckily I'm a guy that
likes to work out and gets in the best shape that I can possibly can, my body
allowing. You know, right now I feel pretty good, as good as I have in a long
time, and, you know, just never give up.

Q. Asking about your fashion statement out there, a lot of these guys are
every stitch matches, and you had a lot of different colors going on. Is that
conscious or random?

TOMMY HAAS: Yeah, I'm pretty pathetic I think when it comes to color
matching. Sometimes I look at myself, you know, in the mirror before I go out
and I'm like, Jesus, what was I thinking there? (Laughter.)

I guess if I maybe had a clothing contract it would be different. But, you
know, n this case I just put on the clothes that I really like. It's
comfortable and it sort of feels good on me. I'm not the color matching type,
and my wife has to take care of our daughter most of the time so she doesn't
have time to do that, either. It falls into my hands.

Q. Still the backward hat, though.

TOMMY HAAS: Sometimes, yeah. It's just when I sweat. You go in and out of
that stage. My hair is short enough to go without a cap, but it's just
routine. Sometimes I play without it.

Q. Could you talk about your next match? You play Simon.

TOMMY HAAS: Yeah, similar conditions, maybe a little bit cooler. He's just
such a good counterpuncher, a guy that is back wall. He moves extremely
well. He knows the geometry of the game really well. He's sort of somewhere
always in the mix.

You don't even really talk about him that much or you don't see him in the
draw that much. He's always there, always within the top 20, top 10 over the
past couple of years. You know, extremely talented, and it really depends on
what kind of a night I have, I think.

I can try to mixup my game again and try to be aggressive when I have to be.
And I'm going to have to change it up and sort of try to find a way, a style
the way I played tonight and be aggressive, come in more, and hopefully it
will be a good night, good tennis.
