Roger Federer didn't expect at all to win so easily, 6/2 6/4 6/4, and to play
so good against the Czech Tomas Berdych. In press conference, The Swiss
player said he was very satisfied with the way he played: 'I was hoping to
play good against better ranked players because I guess I know them more and
I know these matchups so well over the years that maybe sometimes it's easier
to play against them than it is against a qualifier, somebody I've only
played a few times.'
Federer:「我本來希望可以對到排名較高的選手，因為我想我對他們比較了解，
相較於一些選手我只有打過幾次，對決到這些選手我想我可以打得很好。」
'So I didn't expect it as such, to be honest, especially not this kind
of a scoreline, especially not having to save no breakpoints, just always
rolling on the serve. That was a big surprise to me. I think it was a great
mental test for me to see if I could stay in the match, point for point, keep
rolling. I was able to do that. That's where I'm just really happy that I was
able to deliver that. From the baseline, honestly I felt worlds better than
in the first couple of rounds. Yeah, it's wonderful. It's nice to do it over
best-of-five sets. Even though it wasn't five sets, but three sets, it's just
nice to know that you could do it.'
「所以老實說我並沒有預期到這個情況，尤其是這樣的比數和沒有任何破發點
需要挽救。對我而言這是一個很大的驚喜，我想在球場上，分與分之間對我而言是很大的
心智考驗。我想我做到了，我非常開心我能夠完成這項考驗，老實說，在底線來回的前
幾輪我覺得世界變得更美好了，非常完美，如果能夠打五盤就好了，雖然這不是五盤的比
賽，但你知道你可以做到感覺很棒」
In his post-match interview, Berdych just said, I wish I was in the crowd
watching this match, not to be on the court.
Berdych:「我希望我是在觀眾席裡觀賞這場比賽，而不是在場上....」
In the next round Federer will play against Kei Nishikori. He doesn't know
who is the favourite, 'but he's definitely played better and more tennis in
recent months. But then again, it's a new season. We'll see what happens. But
I'm a big fan of his game. He's got one of the best backhands out there. I
love how he can crush it down the line or crosscourt. He's got wonderful
second serve returns. He's fast on his legs. Strong in his mind. I know how
tough he is as the match goes along. He finds his range and his rhythm, he's
tough to stop. It's definitely an exciting match for me, anyway.'
Federer 談及下場的對手錦至圭。「在最近幾個月他確實打得越來越好。但這是
一個新球季，我們還不知道會發生什麼。但我是他的粉絲，他有非常好的反拍，我很喜歡
他如何來回底線和穿越場地，他還有完美的二發和回發球，有很快的腳程，強壯的心智，
我知道和他對決有多麼艱辛，當他找到自己的節奏，你很難阻止他，無論如何這絕對是一
個令人興奮的比賽」
The Japanese player admitted: 'For sure it's not going to be easy. He was
playing great tennis today. I watch7 only few points. But, you know, it's
always great to play Roger. It's big challenge for me. I'm just happy to play
him because I think we needed him on the tour. Happy to see him back a
hundred percent. Yeah, excited to play next round.'
錦織圭:「我確定這不是一場容易的比賽，他今天打出非常棒的網球，我只有看
幾個分數的來回，但你知道的，和Roger打球是一件很棒的事，我想我們在這個賽事需要
他，很開心他能以100%的狀態回歸，我非常期待下一輪比賽。」
Asked how is his physical condition, Nishikori replied: 'Not too bad.
First match was tough. After the day, I was sore little bit. But now I'm feeling
really well. These two matches help for me to being healthy. Yeah, try to
prepare well tomorrow again and ready for next match.'
談及自己的身體狀況，「還不錯，第一場比賽很艱辛。在那之後有一點痠痛，但
現在我感覺非常好，前兩場比賽幫助我維持健康，讓我準備更充分面對明天和下一輪的
比賽。」
