Q. How are you feeling physically and mentally? How do you feel about this tournament?
RAFAEL NADAL: Good. Is the first time I am here without playing official match in my career. Is new situation for me.

But I feel good. I feel that I had good week and a half of practices. Remain this afternoon and tomorrow, the last practice before the competition start for me.

I really hope to be ready. I feel myself more or less playing well. So, yeah.

Q. Between the O2 and now, what was the process like? You were in a pretty bad way at the O2.
RAFAEL NADAL: Had been a long season. Good one, but at the same time long, without playing a lot of tournaments but playing a lot of matches.

Yeah, I had to stop for a while. I started little bit later than what I expected. That's why I was not able to start the year playing in Abu Dhabi and Brisbane. We decided to start later because we needed some more practice, start slow, to be fresher, little bit more fresh mentally and physically, and do things the right way. That's what we tried to do.

Here we are to try my best, try to see if I am able to start.

Q. Has the intensity of your practice been as tough as you wanted it to be?
RAFAEL NADAL: The last week and a half, of course.

Q. I noticed yesterday that you seemed to be having kind of a practice match with Dominic under full match conditions, ball kids, scoreboard, umpire, and everything. Can you tell us how that came about, how that was facilitated? Was it your request?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I wanted to play couple of close competition matches. I played in Kooyong once. Yeah, the club in Kooyong is great, but at the same time the conditions of play are completely different from here. That's my feeling.

We decided to play another match. Talking with the Australian Open, yeah, they give us the chance to play like an open practice but closer to the match for the crowd.

I have a good relationship with Dominic. I spoke to him about that. He was very happy to make that happen, too. We did it. It was a good practice, good feelings for both of us I think. The job was done the right way.

Q. Everybody is talking about you and Roger for winning. Where do you think David Goffin is in his chances of doing well here?
RAFAEL NADAL: The same as always: he is one of the best players of the world. If he is fresh, and I believe that he is, he's very complete player. He can fight for everything. He is a big, talented player, yeah. He has experience already playing big matches. And why not?

Q. Could you have more motivation for this tournament, given the nail-biting final last year?
RAFAEL NADAL: No.

Q. Extra motivation?
RAFAEL NADAL: No. Is impossible to be more motivated than last year or any year. For me, Australian Open always, if you are not enough motivated, 100% motivation to play this tournament, probably you don't love this sport.

Q. What do you see as the toughest matchup for you in this tournament?
RAFAEL NADAL: Toughest opponent?

Q. Yes.
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't think about that. I think about first round I play against Estrella Burgos. I go day by day as I always did. Is going to be the first official match of the year. Don't make sense to think farther than that.

I am looking to have a good practice this afternoon, good practice tomorrow, and be ready for Monday. That's my goal. And let's see. Important for me is beginning of the tournament this year.

Q. How are you feeling without Toni, your first tournament without him as a coach? How are you feeling these days?
RAFAEL NADAL: It's not my first tournament without Toni. Is my first tournament that he is not my official coach. But I played plenty of tournaments in my career without Toni, so...

Yeah, is a change in my career, but let's wait little bit, you know. If I feel strange in a few months, but now is just the beginning. I feel happy with my team. Toni give me a lot during all my career, as I said thousands of times. I don't think is necessary to repeat again and again. Without Toni, I probably won't be here today. That's the real thing. I can't thank him enough for everything.

But now he decided to do another thing. He is focused on the academy. He came to some of my practices during December. No, all the natural process, and that's it, no? Happy with all the things he's doing now in the academy.

I'm happy with the way that I am working with Carlos, with Francis, with the rest of my team. Let's keep working hard to try to have a good year.

Q. Billie Jean King said yesterday if she was still playing, she would refuse to play on Margaret Court Arena because of the many comments Margaret has made against gay people. What is your thought on those comments, and would you understand if some players felt uncomfortable playing in an arena with her name on it?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't have the whole information. Really, I am here to play tennis. I am not here for things that really doesn't have a big impact on the game.

I love the Margaret Court Arena. If the Australian Open decides to hold the name or decides to change the name, is not my decision. I am really just here to play in Australian Open. I going to play. If they put me to the Hisense, I play to the Hisense. If they put me to the Rod Laver, I play the Rod Laver. If they put me to the Margaret, doesn't matter the name, I play.

Q. Is there any special importance for you that you're starting the year as the No. 1 player, or is that just kind of a fact?
RAFAEL NADAL: Sorry?

Q. Is there any special importance for you that you're starting the year as the No. 1 player?
RAFAEL NADAL: Is better to start No. 1 than No. 20. I'm being honest. That's the real thing (smiling).

Everyone starts from zero. I start from zero again. Start as new season, an exciting one. I hope to be healthy and competitive, and most important thing, I hope to enjoy tennis one more year.

Q. When Toni has come to your practices, does he participate as much as before? Has he given you a bit more space with your team?
RAFAEL NADAL: Sorry?

Q. You said Toni comes to your practices in the off-season. Does he participate as much when he has done?
RAFAEL NADAL: He participate as much as he wants to participate. He's my uncle. He's more than anything else. That's it. Everything that he wants to do with me, I am happy with, no? Is not about my decision. He has enough confidence with me, or I have enough confidence with him, to talk about anything I have to talk.

From your perspective is different than my perspective. Is difficult to explain. But is part of my family. Is not only coach that he's coming or not coming. I call him like a family. He love me. I love him. Is not about, you know, professional relationship. Is a familial relationship.

In terms of professional things, I spoke to him few days ago, speaking about how the life going, how the tennis going.

If I have something to ask, I ask to him. If he have something to tell me, he call me and tell me. No, no, is not difficult situation. Is very easy situation.

Q. In recent months both Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka have suffered with their injuries and time out of the game. Stan was in here earlier telling us how hard it had been trying to get back. Andy did something similar when he wrote his Instagram post recently. Now that you're a little older in your career, do you value this more than ever now, when you're preparing for a season? Are you aware it's not going to last forever?
RAFAEL NADAL: I was in the situation that they are probably more times than what they have been, you know. Is nothing new for me that I get injury. I don't know what's going to happen. The problems that they had in different issues, you know, different injuries, but I had these problems during my career couple of times, no?

I really since the beginning, because in 2005 I had a very tough foot injury, and I don't know if I will be able to keep playing tennis. During all these years, I was very happy to keep playing tennis, no? I don't need to be 31 to say, Okay, I am lucky to be here. No. With 22, I felt the same. I'm still feeling the same.

In general terms, I feel lucky to have the chance to enjoy all the experiences that the tennis give us. I hope to keep enjoying that moments for a while. That's it.

I wish Stan and Andy a good recover, all the best for the future, healthy. Another thing is that there is too many injuries on the tour. I am not the one to say, but somebody have to look about what's going on.

Q. Changes may be needed?
RAFAEL NADAL: I repeat: I am not the one to take decisions. But when something is happening too often, something we are not doing well.

Q. Do you think that decisions will be made about this, that the tour and the ITF will look at these things?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, no, no. I am not saying what to do. I am just playing tennis. But when something is happening, you need to analyze why.

身体没事，膝盖没事，心态积极，加油！！！
Q. How did you feel about the game tonight? Where do you see any areas in which you'd like to improve?
RAFAEL NADAL: Happy for the start, of course. Is a positive start with a good result. If I do months without playing official match is always a little bit more difficult.
But I started with positive feelings. That's most important thing for me now. Of course, there is things to improve. But the thing that I need to improve, the matches will give me that things, no?
Victories are the most important thing now.
Q. How is your body feeling?
RAFAEL NADAL: Good. If I don't feel myself ready, I will not be here. So I am happy to be here, happy that I'm on court again. Last year have been a long, very good but long season. So yeah, let's start another one and try to don't think much about what happened the year before.
Q. Your knee felt good tonight, didn't have any problems at all?
RAFAEL NADAL: No problems. No problems.
Q. Did you have any doubts going into the match or were you confident you were fully there?
RAFAEL NADAL: I always have doubts. I said hundred times, I believe that the doubts are good because when you have doubts, it's because you aren't too arrogant, because you have respect for your opponent, because you have respect for the game, and because you don't consider yourself unbelievable good.
The real thing is I always have doubts, but at the same time I have the confidence that I was ready to start the tournament. That was the case.
Through to second round. That's a positive thing for me. I am looking forward to play the next match.
Q. You're now No. 1 in the world. What would you have thought if I said to you this time last year you were going to be No. 1 in the world?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, was difficult to imagine after all the things that happened. Being realistic, I had very positive feelings last year at the beginning of the season. I started playing so well here. I could not imagine to be No. 1, but I had good hopes to play a good season. That's my feelings.
Q. Do you have to pinch yourself sometimes to realize where you are? Is it a reality check?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, no, I don't need to reality check. I know where I am. I really appreciate that. At the same time I don't think much about all these kind of things, no? I just think about try to be ready for the next tournament, for the next practice. I am not thinking all day, Oh, how good I am, I'm No. 1 of the world. No, is not the case.
I just go day by day. I know in sport, in general, the things changes so quick. You need to be ready to accept all the challenges that's not going to happen.
Today you are here, the next day or a couple of months you are here (high to low). Sometimes you here and then you are here, like last year (low to high). Is part of the sport life.
The most important thing is just enjoy and keep having the passion and the motivation to keep working hard, to be where I am today.
Q. We heard a little bit about the players meeting on Friday. Do you think a separate players union is a good idea?
RAFAEL NADAL: Every year here in Australia, there is talks about new things. There is always an issue here in Australia, no? I really believe that there is plenty of time later on the year to speak about things. But now is the moment, for me personally, to play tennis, to play tennis and to try my best on court. That's all really. I really focus on this.
Q. Was it odd for you to be out on the court this evening and not seeing your uncle Toni in the players box at any moment?
RAFAEL NADAL: Toni was not always on the box. It's true that in the Grand Slams he was here all the time. But in plenty of tournaments, he was not there.
Strange or not? I cannot think about all day that. I just have to move forward, believe in the team I have. I feel lucky I have Carlos today in my box, and the rest of the team that is a huge support.
Toni is the most important person in my career, everybody knows. I can't thank him enough for all the things. But today he is not here. He's doing a great job in my tennis academy, no? Just can say thanks to him for that, too.
But today I have to think about the team that is here. I am happy with it.
Q. You had a nice exchange with Victor at the net after the match. Was it strange playing someone who has been on the tour for a long time for the first time?
RAFAEL NADAL: I know him well. We played a good exhibition a few years ago in Puerto Rico. He's a good friend. He's a great guy. He has an amazing story of his career. He's a person that everybody love him on tour.
I was happy that I had the chance to play with him.
Q. A moment ago you mentioned your motivation for the game. What keeps you motivated?
RAFAEL NADAL: Because I love the tennis and I love the competition in general. I love playing in the biggest and more historic courts of our tour. I appreciate all these kind of things, no?
That motivates me. Every day for me is a good motivation to go on court in front of a great crowd here in Australia, in Rod Laver Arena. That's really special feelings, no?
I know this is not forever. I want to enjoy all the moments that I have the chance to spend on this historic stadiums. That's what I am doing: enjoy every moment, and try to give me chances to keep playing in these places, with chances couple more years.
Q. If you had the chance to talk to yourself 20 years ago, what advice would you give yourself?
RAFAEL NADAL: I think I was lucky enough to have the right people around me. I believe all the advices I received from my family, my father, my mother, my uncle, the team, I really believe I had the right people around me. I don't think I needed myself 20 years ago.

Def. Dzumhur 6-1 6-3 6-1
Q. What was your day like, how did you prepare for the match, whether the match met your expectations?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, no, was a good match, of course. When you win 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 in the third round, is always a great result, no? Without playing well, is impossible to have these kind of results. So happy for that. Happy to be through, yeah, fourth round. Already is good news.

Yeah, my preparation was normal. Just wake up, gym, coming here, having some warmup in the gym, then some warmup on court, had lunch, played some Parcheesi. That's it, that's all.

Q. Did you think your form was this good coming into the tournament? Did you think you were playing this well when you arrived?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know, no? I didn't think about when I arrived how I going to be in two weeks. I am already two weeks and one day here. I just try to go day by day.

I needed hours of court, hours of practice, hours of playing sets with different players. That's what I did. I think I did a good preparation here. I felt myself playing well. That's all. Here I am. I am in the fourth round. That's because I am doing the right things. Let's see how far I can go.

Q. What is your opinion about having players going out there when it's 40 degrees?
RAFAEL NADAL: My opinion that is not safe enough sometimes, you know? But is not the only place. That's the real thing. Have been very, very tough conditions yesterday and today. Yeah, sometimes is too much and can become little bit dangerous for health. That's the real thing. It's not nice to see players suffering that much on court.

But there is one positive thing, only one: was not humidity, was dry. That's make a big difference. Even if is very warm, still very tough. But in my opinion is tougher, for example, Rio de Janeiro than here, because the humidity there is crazy and almost the same heat.

That's the only positive thing. The rest of the things are very negative to play in that conditions.

Q. Do you think is big advantage to play at night in cooler conditions, and there should be a balance on who should play in the night and who in the afternoon? We have the impression some players only play at night, and some others play any time.
RAFAEL NADAL: Being honest with you, having one day off, doesn't make a big difference. You are in the same conditions than your opponent. If you have to play the next day, playing during the day or playing during the night, probably will make a difference. Having a day off I don't think will make a difference for the next day.

In terms of competing that day, is dangerous because you can lose sometimes the control of your body when it's that warm. But you are in the same conditions than your opponent.

Playing day or night? Of course, there is players that plays more on night.

Q. Because they sell more tickets or other reasons?
RAFAEL NADAL: You are here since a while, no (smiling)? You know the same like me why there is player that play the night and others play the day. There is television, there is tickets to sell, there is players that achieve more than others. That's why some players plays in prime time and other ones don't play in the prime time.

That's easy to understand. It's not about fair or not fair.

Q. How do you think the game has changed the most during your time playing?
RAFAEL NADAL: Hmm. In my opinion, there is less work inside the point. Before the players was trying to play one ball there, one ball there to finish the point. Since couple of years ago, I feel that the tour became little bit more crazy in that aspect, no? People are going for the point quicker than before. The players are returning faster than before, going for the winners since the return. From the baseline, at the minimum opportunity, peoples goes for the shot, no?

We used to wait for the right ball to go for the winner. Now you go for the winner even in not very good positions.

Q. What challenges does Schwartzman present for you?
RAFAEL NADAL: He's a great player. He's a player that last year had an amazing year, and this year start again playing so well. So already won three matches here, playing again at very high level. He's a very complete player.

Being honest, he's a player that if I don't play my best, probably I don't going to win. He's a player that have all the shots, big control from the baseline, don't miss much. He's able to change directions easy. He's a player that already played the quarterfinals in the US Open. He's already in the fourth round.

Tough one, and I need to play my best.

Q. Have you seen the Hollywood movie "Battle of the Sexes"?
RAFAEL NADAL: No. Sorry, but I didn't see.

北京时间1月19日，2018澳网公开赛男单第三轮比赛开战，世界第一纳达尔以6-1/6-3/6-1力克德祖赫挺进16强，以下是西班牙人的赛后新闻发布会采访翻译。
记者：你今天怎么样，是如何准备比赛的，表现有达到预期么？
纳达尔：是的，当然是一场不错的比赛，当你在大满贯第三轮以6-1/6-3/6-1获胜，总是很棒的结果，不是吗？如果表现不好的话，不可能有这样的比分，所以我非常满意，很高兴顺利晋级第四轮，已经是很好的消息了。
是的，我的备战和往常一样，睡醒之后去健身房练习，然后到球场的健身房热身，去球场上适应训练，吃午饭玩玩飞行棋，差不多就是这样。
记者：你觉得澳网开始前你状态有这么好么？当你刚到墨尔本的时候有想过能打这么好么？
纳达尔：我不知道，不是吗？当我抵达墨尔本的时候，我没想过两周之后会怎样，现在我已经待了两周零一天了，我只是努力做好每一天的工作。
我需要球场上的时间，我需要不断的训练，不断与不同的球员打比赛，而这也是我一直做的，我觉得自己前期的备战很不错，感觉自己状态很好，仅此而已。现在我已经打进第四轮了，这是因为我一直在做正确的事情，让我们看看我还能走多远吧。
记者：对于40度高温下的比赛，你有何观点？
纳达尔：我的观点是有时候这种情况是不安全的，你知道吗？但澳网也不是独一份，昨天和今天的比赛条件都非常非常艰苦，有时候太过了对身体健康都很危险，这是很现实的东西，看到一些球员在赛场上的煎熬一点都不好受。
不过唯一积极的消息，只有一个，那就是天气不太潮，很干燥，这会带来很大的不同，虽然还是很热，条件很艰苦。但我觉得里约的天气比这里更恶劣，因为那里的湿度简直太可怕了，而且温度与墨尔本一样高。
这是墨尔本唯一积极的消息，其他都是很消极的比赛条件。
记者：你觉得夜场比赛是很大的优势么？谁在日场谁在夜场应该平衡一下么？我们有印象有的球员只在夜场打，而其他人在打日场。
纳达尔：实话实说，如果有一天休息时间的话，区别不会太大。你和对手的比赛条件是一样的，如果你第二天就比赛的话，日场打或者夜场打可能影响很大，但我觉得如果休息一天的话，问题就不会太大了。
关于日场的比赛，很危险的是你有时候可能会失去对身体的控制，因为天气实在太热了，不过说到底你和对手面对的天气是一样的。
日场还是夜场？当然肯定会有人夜场打得更多一些。
记者：因为他们更能拉动票房还是其他原因？
纳达尔：你做网球已经很久了，不是吗？（微笑）你和我一样很清楚为什么有的人打夜场有的人打日场。有电视转播，有比赛门票要卖，有的球员成就比别人更大，这也是一些球员能够在黄金时间比赛的原因。
这很容易理解，并不是公平不公平的事情。
记者：你觉得随着职业生涯的推进，网球运动有什么变化？
纳达尔：我觉得每一分的付出要更少了，之前大家都会把球打向这里打向那里，但从几年前开始，我觉得巡回赛突然变得有些疯狂了，不是吗？大家希望比以前更快速地下分，接发速度比之前更快了，从接发开始就想拼制胜分，即使在底线机会很小的时候，大家也想要制胜分，不是吗？
我们通常是等到机会再去进攻，现在即便是击球位置不太好，你也想着去拼。
记者：你觉得施瓦茨曼会给你带来怎样的挑战？
纳达尔：他是位很优秀的球员，上赛季的表现非常棒，今年的开局打得也很好，而且已经在澳网赢下了三场胜利，打出了很高的比赛水准，他是非常全面的球员。
实话实说，他是那种如果我打不好不可能拿下的球员，他掌握了各种击球，底线控制力很强，不太会失误，很容易变向。此前他闯进过美网的八强，现在来到澳网的第四轮。很艰难的比赛，我需要打出最佳表现。
记者：你有看过好莱坞的电影《性别大战》吗？
纳达尔：不好意思，我还没有看。

北京时间1月21日，2018赛季澳网公开赛展开了第七比赛日的争夺，头号种子纳达尔以6-3/6-7(4)/6-3/6-3力克24号种子施瓦茨曼，职业生涯第10次闯进澳网八强，他将在1/4决赛迎战6号种子西里奇。以下是西班牙人的赛后新发采访翻译。
记者：是什么让比赛变得这么有挑战性？
纳达尔：是的，当你打大比赛的时候，你不可能奢望任何一场轻松的比赛，尤其是对手都是优秀的球员。
整体来说，今天是一场艰难的比赛，我在第二盘错失了好机会，这是事实，三次破发的领先，错失机会肯定会给自己带来麻烦，不过施瓦茨曼打得很好，非常有侵略性，他在很多方面都做得很出色，我的侵略性并没有前几天的比赛那么强，这也是我更受煎熬的原因。今天下午的比赛环境也不太轻松，空气的湿度很大。
是的，一场艰苦的比赛，但我当然很高兴能够顺利晋级。
记者：进入了澳网第二周，你有多需要这样的一场比赛，这么艰苦的一场比赛。
纳达尔：能够两小时赢球肯定比四小时赢球要好，但比赛就是这样，对我是个很好的检验，今天比赛时间够长的，还有各种紧张的压力时刻。
很多积极的层面是我处理得不错，第二盘结束之后情况确实很艰难，实话实说，赢下第三盘真的非常棒。第二盘之后我的发球越来越奏效了，我开始可以通过发球拿到一些简单的分数，因为最开始的一盘半我没能在发球局轻松赢下任何一分！这对比赛当然不是好消息，同样也是我错失良机的原因，三次破发的领先之后，随后我都没能保发兑现优势。
之后的第三盘和第四盘我的发球表现越来越好，可能这也是我能以胜利者身份出席发布会的关键。
记者：你刚说了比赛条件让你很难受，能形容一下是怎样的感受么？
纳达尔：我不知道自己有没有说过手煎熬，但如果是一场四小时的比赛，每个人都不会好受，球场里的湿度太高了。前两天的时候我也说过，有时候可能天气不热但湿度太高，这种条件下身体也不好受，今天就是这种情况。
记者：自去年美网半决赛与波特罗一战之后，今天可能是你体力方面最艰难的一场比赛？
纳达尔：今天的比赛比美网对波特罗时更艰难，我觉得是的，我记得当时第一盘输掉之后，第二盘6-0赢了，我记不太清了。
记者：我记得后面是6-3和6-2。
纳达尔：是的。
记者：试着想一下上一场需要付出如此多体能的比赛？
纳达尔：是的，我觉得美网对阵梅耶尔的比赛，对体能的要求也非常高。
是的，距离上一次打这样的比赛已经有一段时间了，我去年在亚洲赛季也有过一些精彩的比赛，包括和迪米以及普伊的交手，都很艰难，不过比赛时长不能和今天相比，而且比赛也不是五盘三胜。
今天是个很好的测试，但同时我刚才也说了，相比四小时赢球，我更希望两小时拿下。但实话实说，经历这样的苦战，会让你对自己、对身体都更有信心。
现在第二周已经开始了，已经闯进八强了，现在是时候要让自己再进一步提升了，让自己打得更有侵略性。我知道下一轮的西里奇也是很难打的对手，我需要提升表现和侵略性，这就是我努力的方向。
记者：通常来说，我觉得你对阵底线型球员时，应该比对阵发球型选手更有信心，我的看法对么？西里奇的发球非常棒，你觉得他会对你更有威胁么？
纳达尔：现在的我，可以说今天的对手是我碰到的最危险的，因为我的对手就是他（微笑），这就是事实，不是吗？
其他的东西我也说不上，因为所有的比赛都很难打，已经来到大满贯的1/4决赛阶段了，你不可能奢望一场轻松的比赛。与西里奇的比赛肯定会是苦战，同时也会是对阵一位伟大球员的精彩比赛，我们彼此之前非常了解，已经有过不少次交手了。
我知道自己需要打得很好，这是很现实的事情，我会努力这么做，希望我能让自己做好准备。
记者：埃德蒙德刚刚首次闯进了大满贯的八强，你觉得他的天赋怎么样？
纳达尔：他很棒，是位优秀的球员，我一点都不吃惊，我觉得很正常。我有点吃惊的是，去年他输掉了很多极为接近的比赛。我相信他的天赋，他拥有超强的发球和正手，击球力量十足，不是吗？我真的觉得他今年会有一个很不错的赛季。
记者：你觉得现在的自己和去年同期的表现在同一水准么？更高还是差不多一样？
纳达尔：我记不清自己去年是什么水准了，我不知道。
我现在闯进了澳网八强，仅此而已。如果我没记错的话，去年第四轮我是2-1盘分领先孟菲尔斯，但局分他4-2领先我，我在第三盘也错失了很好的机会，同样也是一场苦战。
我不知道，你永远都不能知道未来会发生什么。对我来说，最重要的是经历了一段时间伤停之后，能够重新挺进澳网八强。我打出了一些伟大的比赛，今天可能有些糟糕，但我还是坚持了下来，非常开心。为第三盘和第四盘的表现感到骄傲，因为当时的处境并不轻松，但我能一直坚持保发，还度过了一些艰难的时刻。
不过我是带着顽强的意志力在比赛，这正是我需要的，而且我也需要做好发球。下一场比赛我需要在正手进攻时拥有更强的意志力，我会让自己非常专注，让这个想法成真。
记者：塞皮输球之后，弗格尼尼成为了澳网仅剩的意大利球员，他明天要和伯蒂奇打比赛，如果他能战胜伯蒂奇的话，你会吃惊么？
纳达尔：不会吃惊，不过伯蒂奇现在状态确实很好，他已经赢了几场漂亮的胜仗了，首先是对阵德米纳尔，上一轮6-3/6-3/6-2战胜波特罗，如果你状态不好的话，这个比分是不可能的。
弗格尼尼的天赋自然也是毋容置疑，他可以战胜任何人，这是我的感觉。不过在澳网，伯蒂奇可能是更被看好的那一个，但比赛的争夺会很开放。
记者：去年你和费德勒都是强势回勇，今年轮到德约科维奇了，你觉得怎么样？你觉得他有能力实现同样的复出么？
纳达尔：我不知道他会做些什么，但当然他会全力争夺最重要的冠军，他非常出色，不可能不会去争这些冠军。

QF: Press Conference Transcript -
(ret.) vs.Cilic 3-6 6-3 6-7 6-2 2-0
Q. How bad was the injury? How does this affect your schedule for the rest of the year?
RAFAEL NADAL: I can't say because I don't know. Just happened 10 minutes ago and is impossible to know.
Q. When did you feel it? Where exactly is it?
RAFAEL NADAL: As I said before, is difficult to know exactly what it is now. Is difficult to know exactly the muscle. Just happened minutes ago. This type of injury is difficult to know immediately, no?
We need to wait a couple of hours. Tomorrow I am going to do a test, an MRI here, then we will know. But now...
Q. When did you understand you had the problem, what moment? 3-2? 2-1?
RAFAEL NADAL: I am very sorry but I really cannot remember now.
Start to feel the muscle little bit tired in the third, but playing normal, no limits, no limitation. Then in the fourth at one movement, one dropshot I think, I felt something. At that moment I thought something happened, but I didn't realize how bad, how bad was what's going on in that moment.
Just happened, and accept the situation. That's all.
Q. Must be terribly disappointing for you after how hard you worked to be here. The frustration must be tough to accept?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yes. Tough moments. Is not the first time an opportunity that is gone for me. I am a positive person, and I can be positive, but today is an opportunity lost to be in the semifinals of a Grand Slam and fight for an important title for me, no?
In this tournament already happened a couple of times in my life, so it's really I don't want to say frustration, but is really tough to accept, especially after a tough December that I had without having a chance to start in Abu Dhabi and then Brisbane.
Yeah, I worked hard to be here. We did all the things that we believed were the right things to do to be ready. I think I was ready. I was playing okay. Yeah, I was playing a match that anything could happen: could win, could lose. I'm being honest. He was playing good, too. That's the real thing.
But I was fighting for it. I was two sets to one up. Yeah, just accept, recover, come back home, stay with my people, and keep going. That's all. Always in the tough moments, even if difficult to think about it, there is so many positive things that happened in my career.
It's a negative thing, but I don't going to complain because happened to me more than others. But on other hand I was winning more than almost anyone. That's the real thing. But who knows, if I didn't have all these injuries...
Q. What do you think he was doing well?
RAFAEL NADAL: Serving well, hitting very strong from the baseline, returning so well. Yeah, he was playing very aggressive. Lot of things.
Q. Is it your thigh or your hip?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. No hip. No hip.
Q. Your leg?
RAFAEL NADAL: I can't tell you exactly the muscle. It's here high.
Q. High on the leg?
RAFAEL NADAL: High on the leg. But I don't want to lie. Tomorrow we going to communicate what's going on after the MRI. You know, is not the moment to say what's going on or what not going on because we really don't know and the doctor really don't know yet. Is better to wait just a few hours. Give me that time, and tomorrow afternoon we'll let you know.
Now is not the moment because anything that we can say not going to be true.
Q. The knee was working well?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, yeah. I was playing 3 hours 50 the other day. Today I was playing over 3 hours. I was running quite well.
Q. Do you have any sense this might not have happened if you'd been able to play a tour level match, had a few shorter matches?
RAFAEL NADAL: Sorry?
Q. If you had played a tour level tournament beforehand where you had a few shorter matches, do you think this may not have happened?
RAFAEL NADAL: If I played the shorter matches here?
Q. If you had played Brisbane, had some shorter matches to build up your fitness.
RAFAEL NADAL: Happened a couple of times here playing tournaments in the past. So not going to be fair saying going to happen or not going to happen.
Maybe if I had the chance to work as hard as I worked last year, maybe will not happen. But was not the case. I had the knee, and I had to go slower, step by step.
We worked as much as we could to be ready. We think we were ready. At least we were in quarterfinals only losing a set. Preparation went quite good. I was playing good tennis. I was fighting for a Grand Slam.
Q. The physio came when you were down 4-1 in the fourth. You called him at the same moment or you asked the umpire to call him before?
RAFAEL NADAL: I called the game before, I think.
Q. Is it something about this surface or the time of year? Is there a reason why you've had more injuries here than in other tournaments?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, no, there is no reason. But happened. That's it.
Is not the right moment to say for me. Somebody who is running the tour should think little bit about what's going on. Too many people getting injured. I don't know if they have to think a little bit about the health of the players. Not for now that we are playing, but there is life after tennis. I don't know if we keep playing in this very, very hard surfaces what's going to happen in the future with our lives.

纳达尔澳网1/4决赛赛后采访
记者：伤病到底有多严重？会怎么影响你剩余赛季的计划呢？
纳达尔：我说不出来因为我不知道，仅仅是10分钟之前的事，不可能知道什么情况。
记者：你什么时候感觉到的？受伤的部位是哪里？
纳达尔：就像我刚才说的，现在很难知道具体在哪，不知道是哪块肌肉，几分钟之前才发生的，这种伤病很难立马查清楚，不是吗？
我们需要再等几小时，明天我会去做核磁共振，之后我们才能知道，但是现在……
记者：你是什么时候知道受伤的？
纳达尔：我很抱歉，但我真的记不清了。
第三盘的时候我感觉肌肉有点累，但比赛打得还算正常，身体也不受限制，之后第四盘的一次移动，追一次网前小球，我就感觉到了。那时候我觉得受伤了，但不知道有多严重，当时不知道伤得有多严重。
伤病已经发生了，我只能接受现实，仅此而已。
记者：你这么努力才来澳网，现在肯定很失望吧，这种失落感也很难接受吧？
纳达尔：是的，非常艰难的时刻，这不是第一次错失这种机会了。我是个积极的人，但今天我失去一次晋级大满贯四强的机会，失去了争取另一座大赛冠军的机会，不是吗？
在澳网我已经经历过两次这种情况了，但我真的不想说失望，不过现实真的很难接受，尤其是在经历了艰苦的12月之后，我自己都没机会参加阿布扎比和布里斯班的比赛。
是的，我很努力才来到了澳网，我们付出了一切的努力，做了一切觉得对的事情来做好准备，我觉得自己准备好了，我打得也不错。是的，比赛中就是任何事都有可能，可能赢可能输，我一直都很诚实，西里奇打得很好，这是现实。
不过我一直都在拼，我拿到了2-1的领先，是的，我只能接受结果，养伤回家陪我的家人，然后继续努力，仅此而已。在这种艰难的时刻，考虑这些本身就很难，不过我的职业生涯里已经发生过了很多积极的东西。
今天的退赛只是一次消极事情，但我也不会因此抱怨，因为我经历的伤病比别人多多了。但从另一方面说，我几乎比其他任何人都赢的多，这是事实。如果我没有这些伤病，不过谁知道呢……
记者：你觉得西里奇哪方面做得好？
纳达尔：发球很好，底线击球力道十足，接发也很棒，他打得极具侵略性，很多方面都很好。
记者：你的伤是大腿还是髋关节？
纳达尔：我不知道，不是髋关节。
记者：你的腿呢？
纳达尔：我也说不清楚是哪块肌肉，是在大腿上。
记者：在大腿上？
纳达尔：是的，我也不想骗你，明天我们会在接受核磁共振之后再沟通，因为我和医生也不知道具体哪里伤了，所以现在也不能说。最好是等几个小时，给我一些时间，明天下午的时候我会告诉你们。
现在不是说伤病的时候，因为我们也不清楚状况，说多了也不一定对。
记者：膝盖情况很好？
纳达尔：是的是的，前两天我打了3小时50分钟，今天的比赛也超过了三小时，我的跑动情况很好。
记者：你有没有觉得伤病的发生是因为你没能在澳网之前打比赛？
纳达尔：不好意思？
记者：如果你在澳网之前打热身比赛，而不是一些很短的表演赛，你觉得伤病能避免么？
纳达尔：如果我打一些很短的比赛？
记者：如果你能打布里斯班的话，能有一些热身比赛来积累体能。
纳达尔：之前也有过打完比赛再来澳网的先例，所以讨论会不会有点不公平。
或许如果我有机会像去年一样努力训练的话，可能伤病就不会发生，但今年不是这回事，因为有膝伤，所以我要慢慢来，一步一步来。
我们付出了尽可能多的努力来做好准备，我们觉得已经准备好了，至少我仅仅丢掉了一盘就闯进了八强，备战情况非常好，我打得也很不错，我在为大满贯冠军而战斗。
记者：理疗师在第四盘1-4落后时进场的，你是当时叫的他还是之前就让主审叫他了？
纳达尔：我是在之前就叫他了。
记者：是因为场地或者年初的比赛时间么？你在澳网经历的伤病比别的地方更多，你觉得有原因么？
纳达尔：不不不，没有原因，但伤病确实发生了，仅此而已。
现在我说话可能不太合适，巡回赛的组织者应该想想到底发生了些什么，因为有太多人受伤了，我不知道他们有没有考虑过球员的健康，现在我们在打网球，但退役之后还有自己的生活。我不知道如果我们一直在打硬地的话，将来我们的生活会发生些什么。

希望检查无恙
