James Blake（全豪09）
１月２６日。James BlakeがJo-Wilfried Tsongaに４６、４６、６７。
言い訳：
●Serve was probably giving me the most trouble. When he was making first serves, it made it really difficult for me to get into points. He has such an aggressive style, if you block that first one back, you're going to be running. You're going to be in trouble. That was a big problem for me.
●I didn't take advantage of some of the opportunities I had on some second serves. A little frustrating. Didn't feel like I served well. Didn't feel like I returned well. Otherwise it was okay.
●Those are two pretty important parts of the game. Especially on the returns, it's one that I usually take pride in being pretty good at. Didn't execute today. Didn't get a lot of free points on my first serve, which can make it tough to work all day that way.
●He was varying the speed. He did a good job. But I still felt like I could have done a better job returning, especially in that tiebreaker, missing two pretty easy ones that I thought I could have really taken advantage of.
▼ファーストサーブのリターンからの展開は厳しく、セカンドサーブでチャンスがあっても活かすことも出来ず▼サーブもリターンも今一つ▼特にタイブレークでのリターンについて後悔▼Blakeに勝ってVerdascoに負けたTsongaのコメントはほんの少し。

Novak Djokovic（全豪09）
１月２７日。メルボルン。Novak DjokovicがAndy Roddickに７６、４６、２６、１２でリタイア。
言い訳：
●"I retired because I felt I cannot go on."
●"The main reason is cramping and soreness in the whole body."
●"Really tried my best, but sometimes you can't fight against your own body."
●"I couldn't serve the way I served in the first two sets."
●"That third set I just started dropping 20, 30 kilometers per hour first serve. Obviously it was much easier for him to return."
●"Conditions were extreme today. It did affect more on me than him."
●"Circumstances were against me this time."
●"My mind wanted me to continue on. I could have stopped even before in the end of the second set, because I felt really bad. I continued on playing thinking that something could help me out, maybe a treatment and things like that. But just kept coming back."
●"He saw that longer rallies are not comfortable for me at that point, so he was using it wisely."
●"He's more aggressive on the return. He's improved. I think his new coach has an impact on that. He's been playing really well throughout the whole tournament."
