Roger Federer's absence from the Dubai Tennis Championships will have a few
tennis stars breathing a sigh of relief, but the former world No1 issued an
ominous statement of intent in the emirate on Thursday.
The four-time Dubai champion pulled out of the tournament last week because
of a back injury first sustained towards the close of last season and has
indicated he will need at least a month to recuperate.
Yet he fired a warning to those who think the titanic tennis talent is on the
wane.
"I'm still fairly young in tennis terms and I've still got many years ahead of
me," said the 27-year-old. "The most important thing is to stay healthy so I
can chase my dreams. I'm so disappointed I'm not playing in Dubai, but I'm
very confident and positive about this year.
"就網球觀點來說,我還算年輕,而且還有的是時間",27歲的Roger說,"最重要的是要保
持健康,這樣我才能追逐我的夢想,我很失望不能出賽杜拜,但我對今年很有信心。"
"Despite the injury, I feel a lot better this year to what I did last year.
I'm only going to play again when I'm 100 per cent fit, whereas last year I
played many matches when I wasn't feeling great. That's going to make a big
difference for me, both now and also for the following years."
"除了傷之外,我今年比去年好多了。相對去年,我在不舒服的時候打了許多比賽,我今
年只會在我狀態百分百的時候出賽。那對我現在和未來將會有很不一樣的影響。"
That Federer is thinking long-term will strike a chord with the rest of the
men's game – he is chasing down Pete Sampras' record 14 Grand Slams and was
disappointed to not equal the milestone in his last match.
He contested an epic five-set showdown against Rafael Nadal at the Australian
Open final in Melbourne last month, only to go down 7-5, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2
to his Spanish rival.
Roland Garros in May provides Federer's next chance to secure his 14th Grand
Slam title, the only major the world No2 has failed to win since joining the
professional circuit in 1998. The French Open has proven particularly elusive
since Nadal's rise to prominence, as the Mallorcan matador conquered Federer
in the past three Paris finals.
If Federer were to add the missing link, he would surely be considered the
greatest tennis player of all time. The tag does not sit well with him,
however.
"We don't know the greatest of all time," he said.
"我們不知道史上最佳",他說。
"But I think that's the beauty of tennis. Who even knows how many matches I'm
going to win, or if I'll win the French Open? It would definitely enhance my
career and make it even more incredible for me than it already is. It would
make it more special to be the greatest of all time, yet I'm not really sure
what that would take. I'm very proud to already be up there and have a lot
more time left to achieve even more. That's why I'm excited about the future.
"但我想那就是網球的美妙所在,誰知道我還能贏多少比賽或是我是否能贏法網?那(成為
史上最佳)絕對會讓我的生涯增色而且比現在更令我覺得不可思議,成為史上最佳會有更
特別的意義,但我現在不確定要怎樣才能成為世界最佳,我對現在的成就感到自傲,而
我有更多時間去得到更多成就。那就是我為什麼對未來感到興奮的原因"
"I want to play as long as I can and that's where I draw inspiration from
Andre Agassi who played through many generations. I've already played against
Sampras and Agassi, then [Andy] Roddick, [Leyton] Hewitt and [Marat] Safin in
my generation and now I'm playing Nadal, [Novak] Djokovic and [Andy] Murray.
"我想要盡可能的打久一點,那是我從Aggasi身上獲得的激勵。我曾經跟Aggasi Sampras
打過比賽,然後是我這年代的Roddick Hewitt Safin,而現在我跟Nadal Djokovic以及
Murray比賽。"
"And we've already got a new generation coming through, and after that maybe
there'll be another one. Every five years you have a new generation, which
is interesting for tennis and I'd like to stay around for a while yet.
"而現在已經有新的一代了,而那之後還會再有新世代,每五年就會有新世代,那對網球
來說很有趣,所以我會想繼續再多打一會。"
"We've got the Olympics in 2012 and getting the singles gold in London –
which will be held on the grass at Wimbledon – would be a proud moment for
me.
"2012年的奧運會在倫敦,而且將會在溫網的草地上舉行,在那裡奪金對我而言會是個
值得驕傲的時刻。"
"So I'll hopefully play until I'm 35, which is seven or eight years from now,"
added Federer, who took gold for Switzerland in the doubles at the Beijing
Olympics last August. "I'm setting my goals long-term."
"所以希望我能一直打到35歲,距離現在大概還有七八年",去年八月在北京為瑞士奪下
雙打金牌的Federer補充說,"我正在設立我的長期目標。"
