〔體育中心/綜合報導〕阿根廷「小巨人」史瓦茲曼(Diego Schwartzman)在8強賽經歷
五盤大戰、扳倒好友提姆(Dominic Thiem),賽後被問及準決賽將面對西班牙名將納達
爾(Rafael Nadal),他也展現十足信心,表示自己可以打敗這位「紅土之王」。
賽會第12種子史瓦茲曼在8強賽經歷5小時8分鐘,最後以五盤撂倒被視為奪冠熱門的提姆
,生涯首闖大滿貫4強,但下一輪依舊是場硬仗,對手是今在法網完成100場出賽、同時搶
下第98勝的納達爾。
史瓦茲曼生涯與納達爾交手10次,雖吞下9敗,但珍貴一勝就是今年的羅馬大師賽,當時
他以6:2、7:5直落二完成橫掃,此役也是「蠻牛」復賽後迄今唯一一敗。
對於下輪將面對納達爾,史瓦茲曼受訪時先表示,如果單看對戰紀錄,不確定是否有自信
可以贏球;不過在經歷五盤大戰後勝出,也讓他信心明顯大增,接著話鋒一轉又說,「是
的,我知道這週可以打敗他,這件事是最重要的。」
「Rafa在這裡是個傳奇,是這個地方的主宰者,」史瓦茲曼說,「在場上我必須活用策略
,有機會的時候展現侵略性,同時防守端也要兼顧。」
