費德勒歸咎因雨暫停，導致溫網不幸失利

Roger Federer claimed the rain that interrupted his Wimbledon final defeat
against Novak Djokovic was the crucial factor in his failed bid to win a
record eighth All England Club title.
費德勒聲稱此次溫網決賽失利的關鍵主因是「因雨中斷」比賽，使他無緣締造溫網八冠的
紀錄。

Federer slumped to a 7-6 (7/1), 6-7 (10/12), 6-4, 6-3 loss on Sunday and the
Swiss star felt it was a brief third set delay caused by light showers that
proved the key turning point.
費德勒以四盤的比數敗陣之後，將落敗原因歸咎於第三盤中的短暫因雨暫停，認為是比賽
的轉捩點。

Having won a thrilling second set tie-break to level the match, Federer had
just dropped his serve to fall 3-2 behind when the rain came.
在現場因雨暫停之前，費德勒於第二盤拿下令人振奮的搶七決勝局，並把盤數扳平，但在
第三盤反倒先遭破發，而以局數二比三落後。

But the weather improved quickly and within 20 minutes the court covers were
taken off, leaving Federer feeling slightly flustered as tournament officials
hurried to get the players back on court.
然而驟雨稍縱即逝，僅耽誤約二十幾分鐘後旋即恢復比賽，也使得費德勒內心受到影響，
感到些許心慌意亂，認為賽會太急躁地迫使球員返場。

"I think maybe the rain came at a bad time for me. Maybe if it came earlier
or much later, it would have been better," the world number two said.
費德勒直言：「我認為對我來說，或許這場雨來的真不是時候，對我很不利。或許這場雨
早一點下或是再多晚一點下，對我就更有利些。」

"The way it was, I couldn't take advantage of it, even though I had a Love-30
game shortly after I came back."
「情況就是那樣，雨歇復賽之後，即便在對手發球局我有0-30的短暫領先，之後也佔不到
一點便宜。」

"It was a little bit of a rushed rain delay. Out, back on. Try to speak to
your team, try to relax, at the same time stay warm. It's not like hectic,
but it's not the usual rain delay you have.
「這雨有點停的太快。我要出場、返場、和教練談話、試著放鬆，同時維持暖身狀態。
這也不算忙亂，但這一次的因雨暫停真的並不尋常。」

"They told us they were going to try to get us back out there as quick as
possible."
費德勒說：「賽會告知將會使我們儘速返場。」

A visibly frustrated Federer was also puzzled by Wimbledon chiefs' decision
to delay the post-match trophy presentation while the Centre Court roof was
closed due to more rain.
賽後費德勒失望之情溢於言表，他也同時對於賽會主席決定因雨關閉屋頂而延遲頒獎儀式
感到困惑不解。

"It was awkward, you know, having to shut the roof. You go take a shower. You
come back for the ceremony," Federer said.
費德勒直言：「你知道的，把屋頂關閉，這是一個很笨的決定。你先去沖澡，然後再回去
頒獎典禮。」

"I was like, Give it to Novak. It's his moment. Okay, fine. Let's go take a
shower, come back. So that was weird."
「這就像是把一切榮耀都歸給Novak，這是他的光榮時刻。好吧，沒關係啦。來去沖澡吧，
再回來領獎，這真的莫名其妙。」
