決賽的賽後訪談 - 網球

Q. Congratulations on your fourth final of the year in a Slam. What went on,
do you think?

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: I think she played much better than I did tonight.
She played a good match, I have to agree with that. She served much better.
I gave her too much time, you know, to organize her game. I played too short.
Not aggressive enough.

At this level, you don't have the choice. I mean, she proved it. She served
really well. She didn't give me a lot of opportunities. We could feel a lot of
difference in her return and my return.

So, yeah, I just tried to keep fighting on every point, but she was just the
best tonight.

Q. Obviously, you have beaten her the last four times. Was there something
demonstratively improved in her game tonight?

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: She played very consistent. She served better than
she probably did in our last meetings. She took her chances. I mean, she had
very good shots. She played a lot down the line. She was in good shape tonight.
It was tough for me.

Q. Many players say that it's almost easier or it's less disappointing to lose
a match like this one where you were simply outplayed than a very difficult
three set match. Is that true?

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: I don't know. It's tough to say. I think the second
place is always the most difficult one. Yeah, you always disappointed to lose
any way. I mean, it's not a nice feeling, but I will have time to think about
that.

And I had a good couple of weeks. Unfortunately, that ends a way I don't like
that much, but it doesn't depend only of me; it depends also of opponent.
She's been really strong today, and I just have to accept that.

Q. Great year for you, though. I know you must be disappointed now. But talk
about reaching four finals in one year.

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: Yeah, it's been great season for me. It's not over yet.
I could not have expected these results. I've been pretty consistent during
the whole year. The thing is that I'm still healthy, pretty healthy right now,
and I hope I can play a few more tournaments and then the championship. That
remains one of the goal of the season. I didn't play the championships in the
last two years, so that's great. I'm qualified, and I hope I can play good
tennis over there.

Yeah, I was saying 2006 would be a year of transition. It's the first year
since 2003 I can play a whole season. At the end of the season, I can make
conclusions and see how I'm gonna what my plans are gonna be for next year.

Q. I know you were struggling with your back in the semifinal. Did that bother
you at all?

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: No, no, no. Was feeling better today. No excuses about
anything.

Q. Maria has developed quite a complex ritual at the service line, some of us
were noting it today. It's slower than most players. Is that difficult to wait
out?

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: No, I don't think so. I think we both had very attitude
on the court, and didn't notice at the beginning it was pretty long, but she
has the right to take her time. I think that she did it the good way. So I
don't have to complain about that.

Q. You said that Maria played more consistent, she took more chances in this
match versus the previous four matches which you had won. What was different
in your game today versus those last four matches?

JUSTINE HENIN HARDENNE: Yeah, I couldn't play that long today. I couldn't play
that aggressive. She had a lot of time, and she was going for the winners.
She did come to the net. I didn't. Sometimes it's like this. Even if you know
you have to do it, it's not easy to do it in every match.

So she's been brave tonight, and more than me. That made a big difference.

感覺juju現在都很怕落人口實
例如上一場準決賽明明有傷不舒服
卻不叫傷停治療
怕又被對手說是拖延戰術（結果對手還不是攻擊她詐傷）
這一場明明也因傷影響發揮
但當記者問的時候
她很快表示說感覺較好了，沒有任何藉口。
(她最近很多訪談最常出現的就是No excuses)
而當記者問莎娃發球時耗了很多時間
juju也展現好風度表示那是她的權利，自己沒有必要去抱怨。

或許年紀越大，juju越覺得人言可畏吧？
但當她越在意那些言論、流言斐語
我也更擔心她
因為那表示...她心理上比以往更加脆弱
