マルコス・バグダティス（全豪08）
Marcos Baghdatis 20.01.08
元気印のバグダティス。ヒューイットに6-4、5-7、5-7、7-6、3-6で惜敗しました。観客にも人気が高く、記者会見もいたってフレンドリーな様子。負けても良いプレーが出来たので今年も春から縁起がいいわい！というわけで、一年間をポジティブに始めたい気持ちが伝わってきます。試合の流れがヒューイットにあるなかでも、結果を忘れ笑顔を心がけリラックス・モードに入るよう心がけ、ドロップショットなども繰り出してヒューイットのリズムを崩すよう試みたと言ってますから、やはり大器です。インタビューは彼の英語の問題もあって詳細に語られるものではありませんでしたが、しかめっ面で深刻そうにプレーするより楽しく自分を盛り上げる気持ちの持っていきかたは参考になると思います。

Q. How tough is that to swallow?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: It is tough, but it's a positive thing. I love the game. It's another time that I went out there, I had I lost the match, but I came out with so many good emotions. I had really so much fun, and the crowd was great.
I'm really happy. I mean, the way I'm playing, the way I deal with things, and that's all I have to say. It's tough losing a match. I'm a bit disappointed, that's for sure. But I worked hard with my coaches and it's nice to come out and, I mean, have so many good emotions like today.
I'm just really happy the way I'm playing, and I'm ready for the season. That's a positive thing, for sure. I'm disappointed. I don't know what to say. It's tough to swallow, but that's life. Life is hard to have to accept it and try to follow.
Q. What about that turn? I mean, 51. You were going for all the money. What happened? Did you just sort of go for broke?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: No, I just, you know, I start smiling, I start to forget the result. I was a bit stressed out even from the beginning of the match. It was a bit tough, and I just tried to deal with things, and just tried to find a solution to win, even, by relaxing, by trying to change the rhythm of Lleyton, just playing drop shot. I start changing everything. And it worked.
The fifth set I got a bit tired. I had my chances to break him first. I didn't, and he did. I mean, he deserves to win. He was better than me today, and that's all I have to say. He played better than me in the important points.
Q. You must be exhausted. Can he recover?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: Oh, for sure. We're exhausted at the match, but I think we work hard. I mean, he works out, also. And I was if I was in his place I would recover, so I think he would.
Q. Your fans again tonight, it's 5:00 in the morning and they were still cheering as loud as ever.
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: I want to thank them a lot for the support. It's really great to have them around. Not really just my fans, also my country. They were really supportive the last couple of days. And I want to thank them very much.
Q. You leave Melbourne with some great memories again?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: Of course. I love Melbourne. I love the tournament. I'm very happy to be here. Like I said before, that's why I live, for matches like this. That's why I work hard. That's why I dream: For matches like this. And it's a pleasure to even losing it. That's not the most important thing, you know.
It's just a game, and I'm just very, very happy that I'm playing this way and having so many good emotions.
Q. Congratulations.
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: Thanks, mate.
Q. Were you affected at all by the ankle injury?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: No, just in the beginning, I had pain, but they gave me four painkillers, so I guess I guess that made the job. No, I mean, at the end I was a bit tired, but not because of the ankle, because of all the stress I had, and that's all.
And I'm, like I said before, I'm happy the way I'm playing. I'm ready for the year, and I guess I'll just go back, have some holidays, and just focus on the rest of the year.
