我國網球好手盧彥勳於今晨打敗美國名將洛迪克後，隨即接受大會安排各國媒體採訪，特別提到自己的父親生前給他的鼓勵，也表達自己也不相信能贏，但是堅持到最後才取得勝利。 問：今年先前與洛迪克交手兩次，這次有何不同？ 答：我知道他是一名很強的草地選手，因為他具有很好的發球，但我跟上次交手一樣，並沒有做太大改變，我只是盡量做好我的發球，當遇到困難情況時，不要有失常。 堅持與冷靜 讓他拍下洛迪克 過去兩次交手，我就是想贏，造成自己很大壓力，以致於失常，所以我今天保持冷靜，花時間跟他堅持，保持正常發球，試著找出贏球機會，一球一球來、一局一局來直到最後，然後最終我贏了，就是不要去想太多。 問：當比賽打成兩盤平手時，你覺得心理上更加困難嗎？ 答：當然，第四盤有一度有機會把比賽打贏，但卻失敗了，然後進入了第五盤，但我仍告訴自己，我必須去努力一戰，因為第五盤沒有搶七，而他的發球又很好。 所以我不斷告訴自己，只要我能一再堅持下去，就會有好的結果發生，最終我等到機會贏得勝利。但我還是要說，我不敢相信我能贏，因為他的發球真的很好。 問：你不相信自己能贏嗎？ 答：是的，就機會而言，我不相信自己能贏。但我只是告訴自己，即使不相信，我還是要去奮戰。 〝為父親、為自己、為支持我的人〞 問：你賽後心情如何？你贏了，坐在椅子上久久不起，當時你心中做何想法？ 答：是的，我非常激動，因為我真要謝謝我的家人，但我的父親過世了，我希望分享勝利的喜悅給我的父親，他能在天之靈看到我這場比賽。(溫布頓是盧爸爸生前最愛看的比賽) 在那時，我就是告訴自己，我做到了，為了我的父親、為了我自己，也為所有支持我的人。 問：你父親是何時過世？ 答：2000年，當我轉職業選手那一年。 問：是你父親教你打網球的嗎？ 答：我是跟父親一起學網球，當我高中時，他並非教練，但他花了很多時間，讓我學習網球，他照顧我的一切。 當他在世時總是為我計劃了一切，包括讓我走向職業網球選手，但此時，他人卻不在了，所以我很難過，今天他並未與我在一起，如果他在這裡，他一定會為我高興。 問：你在台北打網球是很困難的事嗎？家裡有經濟支援嗎？ 答：一開始都是靠家裡支持我打球，現在已有贊助商，但小時候都是家裡的支持。 問：你家人是做什麼？ 〝父親以前是賣雞的 我會抓雞〞 答：我父親以前是在賣雞，不是賣雞肉，把雞賣給別人，才變成雞肉，所以我會抓雞，我說的是真的，我可以秀給你們看。 問：可以再詳細說明，你跟父親一起在養雞場工作嗎？ 答：我只跟父親工作幾次，因為我不喜歡養雞場的味道。不過，他們真的很辛苦，從凌晨1點工作到6點，因為那時雞還在睡覺。 問：你的英文名字叫做Randy，據說是你的英文老師不會唸你的中文名字？ 答：在台灣我的中文名字雖不會很難唸，但英文老師還是希望我取個英文名字，以便於上英語課，所以我選了這個名字，但我真的不知道這個字的意義。 問：你真想知道是什麼意思嗎？ 答：不，最好不要。(註：英文Randy有「莽漢、粗野」含意，但其實盧的英文名字叫Rendy) News & Photos: Interviews Y. Lu - 28 June 2010 Monday, 28 June 2010 Q. You played him twice before. What was the difference?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I think for me I know he's very tough on grass because he has big serve. And I don't think I'm doing different than last time. But I just show my serve when I was in trouble or when I in tough situation, I don't overplay.
So I have to stay with him because last two match, sometimes in the pressure, I overplay because I want to make a winner.
But today I just take a time, serve regular, and stay with him, try to find a chance and to win the set, set by set, set by set, until end, I shaking hand and I win. Yeah, I just don't think.
Q. When it was leveled at two sets each, was it psychologically tougher for you then?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I mean, yes. This question, for me, the fourth set I have a chance. I have 3‑1. The dropshot, I come in. I still thinking when I was going to the final set. I just tell myself, I have to fight. Because I know in the fifth set, there is no tiebreak, and he has better serve.
So I just tell myself, If I can stay longer, longer, longer, then probably something happens. And finally then I waited last chance to close the match.
But I tell you, fifth set, I don't believe I can win because he's better server than me.
Q. You didn't believe?
YEN‑HSUN LU: No, I mean, for chance, I don't believe. But I just tell myself, Even I don't believe, I have to fight, yeah.
Q. What were the emotions like for you after the match? You won, sat down in your chair. What was going through your mind after the victory?
YEN‑HSUN LU: Yeah, I mean, for me, because I really thankful for my family. Also because I'm really upset because my father's already pass away. I make this result. I'm really proud myself to share this victory with him in the sky. I hope he see this match.
So in that moment, I just sit and tell myself, I done it. I done for my father. I done for myself also. I done for all the people support me, yeah.
Q. May we ask when your father passed away?
YEN‑HSUN LU: Is 2000, when I turned professional, that year.
Q. So now having achieved the best result of your career, how far do you think you can go here?
YEN‑HSUN LU: Right now, I just want to say I want to have good sleep tonight. I know the next opponent is Djokovic. Also is very great players. I don't know how far I can play. I cannot tell you. But I can tell you if I have a chance to step on the court, I will fight in the end, yeah.
Q. Is it true you call yourself Randy because your English teacher could not pronounce your name?
YEN‑HSUN LU: Yeah, you know, because in Taiwan is difficult. Is not difficult, my name, to pronounce. But the English teacher, they want us to get American style, have the English name, to go into the English class feeling. So that's why they ask us to pick out the name from English.
So that's why I pick. But I don't know the meaning, actually (smiling).
Q. Do you want to know?
YEN‑HSUN LU: No. Better not, yeah (smiling).
Q. How long have you been working with Mark Woodforde and how much has he helped your game?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I mean, had very good experience with him last year. I mean, last year I have really bad virus with me for one‑and‑a‑half months, and also my immune system, even after I recover, I still really not in the good shape.
So when I work with him, my body's not really ready for it. But he give me a lot, you know, come to the net, and also some strategy, slice, approach. I mean, also he tell me some experience what he done before, when you play in a match, what you think. So is really help for when I work with him for two months, yeah.
Q. What was his advice? Did you speak to him today?
YEN‑HSUN LU: Actually, I meet him, like we went to the practice court, he is also practicing for this week. I was just say hi. He tell me, Well done. But we didn't really spoke about the tournament match.
Q. Did your father teach you to play tennis? Was he involved in tennis?
YEN‑HSUN LU: He start to learn together. We learn tennis together. When I was going to high school, also he spending a lot of time, too. He's not real coach, but he spend a lot of time to drive me to the coach, to the tennis coach, to the school. He's take care everything.
And also when I was ‑‑ before he was always planning which direction I should go, I should go to school or keep going professional. In the moment, he pass away.
So I'm just upset that I done, and he didn't with me. That's why I'm just very sad about this. But today I think he's here and he also very happy for me, yeah.
Q. When you beat Andy Murray at the Beijing Olympics, he said later that he was jetlagged and did not prepare properly. Does that make this win the best of your career?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I think every win is different in my career. I mean, of course, Andy's ‑‑ they're both Andy. Andy Murray's good players. But probably he has some problem. I knew I play good tennis against him, and I beat him.
I cannot tell you next time I play him, I have to win, I have to beat him, because he's very good players. I just find the chance to beat him.
And today the match, also in the match, I tell my coach, I say, I don't care about if win or lose, but I just want to fight in the end. Then things happened.
Q. How difficult is it to play tennis in Taipei? Did you have economic support only from the family?
YEN‑HSUN LU: The beginning, family supporting. After, when I play till now, there's some sponsor to support us. But when I kid, family support.
Q. What was your family doing, your family business?
YEN‑HSUN LU: My father doing, he's selling the chicken, not the meat, but the live chicken. So they sell the chicken, send it to the farm or something. After, they kill and become the meat. So I can catch a chicken. I can show you. Yeah, serious. I can catch a chicken (smiling).
Q. Can you elaborate on that? Was this like a chicken farm where your dad worked? Did you work with him there?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I tried few times. But I don't really like because smell really bad. But I know is very tough work. They always working between 1:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the morning, like very early. That time the chicken cannot run away because they cannot see.
Q. They were wild?
YEN‑HSUN LU: Yeah. No, but still they can run. They just put in the box or something. You have to catch them into the box. If the people want some kind of chicken, you need to separate.
Q. Roddick talked about how your serve seemed a lot tougher for him today than when you've played him in the past. Is that a part of your game you've worked on specifically? How might you be a different player today?
YEN‑HSUN LU: I mean, I think these tournaments improve my serve, especially like in the tough situation I make more first serve in. And also doing good serve is also physical‑wise because, like before the tournaments, I hire Argentina condition coach.
We training really hard for three‑and‑a‑half weeks to prepare these tournaments. And also he used the new system, it is different training program, that make me for my leg a little bit stronger.
So I can jump higher, I can serve better. That I think is better than last few times I play him, yeah.
