貝克爾曝小德費德勒不和 遺憾當今網壇缺乏個性
新浪體育訊 北京時間6月12日消息,據外媒報導,德約科維奇的教練貝克爾在最新出
版的自傳中透露塞爾維亞人與瑞士球王費德勒不和已是公開的秘密,還稱費德勒並不如外
界所看到的那麼好,這引發了極大爭議。德國名宿隨後在推特上回應稱媒體報導不實。
貝克爾的最新自傳名為《溫布頓:我在全英俱樂部的生活和職業生涯》。他在其中稱
自己的弟子德約科維奇和費德勒“並不是非常喜歡彼此”,還稱在費德勒“好好先生”的
公眾形象之下其實隱藏著黑暗面。“羅傑之所以能成為史上收入最高的運動員之一,是因
為人人都喜歡他。但仔細想想——你不可能被每個人 都喜歡。”
貝克爾在自傳中提出了一個問題,如果當今男子網壇的頂尖球員能展現出更多個性,
有更多的真情流露,網球比賽是否會變得更具看點——就如同他本人當球員時期以及更早
年代一樣,麥肯羅和康納斯在場上的相互指責,“冰人”倫德爾與球迷始終保持距離,又
或者像阿加西和貝克爾那樣性格外放,在比賽中能充分 調動球迷的情緒。
“費德勒憑藉良好的形象賺得了豐厚的收入,不過如果我們能更多看到他的真實情感
,會是怎樣呢?”貝克爾在書中寫道,“不時有人告訴我,現在的網球比賽比我打球那個
時候無聊多了。當我問他們為什麼這麼說時,他們回答現在球員個性不夠鮮明。我告訴他
們,其實現在的球員很有個性,只不過他們沒法流露出 來,因為不能。場上有麥克風,
能錄下他們所的每一句髒話或者每一次宣洩,接著他們就會領到罰單。所以,現如今,你
很難口頭表達自己的沮喪,因為大傢伙兒都 聽著呢,回到更衣室,你就會面臨1萬、2萬
或者更多金額的罰款。”
當媒體的報導引發爭議後,貝克爾隨後在推特上作出回應:“關於我對費德勒的看法
,媒體謊話連篇,做了不確切的引用。讓我告訴你們:我非常尊重他,作為我們這項運動
的球員/男人/傳奇!”不過隨後他還為自己的自傳打起了廣告:“若你們想知道我到底是
怎麼評價他以及其他當今和過去球員的,可以買我的書。”

附英文原文:
World number one Novak Djokovic’s coach Boris Becker has revealed that
his man has a big problem with Roger Federer。
German tennis superstar Becker has published a new autobiography in which
he talks about the “open secret” of the animosity between two of the best
players ever to pick up a racquet。
Becker’s language in “Wimbledon: My Life and Career at the All England
Club” is temperate, in that he refers to the fact that the duo “don’t
particularly like each other” rather than spilling the beans on years of
mutual hatred。
But he goes on to talk about Federer in terms which suggest that beneath
the Swiss legend’s smooth veneer is a rather darker character than we’ve
been led to suspect。
“The reason Roger is one of the highest-paid athletes of all time is
because he’s liked by everybody,” writes Becker。
“But think about this – you can’t possibly be liked by everybody。”
Becker also poses an open question, wondering whether the entire game of
tennis might be more fun to watch if the men at the top of the sport showed a
bit more fire – as they did in Becker’s day and before, when the likes of
John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors fumed their way around the court, Ivan Lendl
alienated fans with his ice-man persona, and players such as Andre Agassi and
Becker himself wore their hearts on their sleeves in a manner that had fans
roaring out of their seats。
“Federer makes good money out of his image, but would he make less if we
saw a bit more of his true feelings?” Becker asks。
“People occasionally put it to me that tennis is more boring now than
when I played, and when I ask them why they say there are fewer characters。
“I reply that we have great characters, but it’s true they don’t show
it as much because they can’t. They get fined and there are microphones on
the court that pick up every curse or utterance in frustration。
“As a result, it’s very difficult to verbalise your frustration
nowadays because everyone hears it and you go back to the locker room to face
a fine of $10,000 or $20,000 or even more。”
