還記得之前提過的這個比賽嗎? (點點看)
今天進行第二回合競賽, 其中一位參賽者受傷了, 不過沒有叫防護員進場, 也沒有叫傷停, 更沒有退賽, 而是硬撐著完成比賽...
是的, 我的確是聯想到今年2月15日的鹿特丹男網決賽

【ATP Rotterdam】鹿特丹男網決賽 15 Feb. 2009
你看過決賽中 選手退賽嗎?
我記憶中 好像幾年前有個大滿貫女單決賽曾經發生過
莫可奈何啊, 生病了 也只能含淚傷退
昨天的鹿特丹男網決賽 我一度以為會退賽...
RAFA在第2盤第3局領先1個發球局之後申請了傷停
傷停之後再度上場, 狀況並未改善
從表情和肢體上都可以明顯看出狀況不妙
尤其在換邊休息時, 感覺很掙扎, 究竟應該撐下去還是放棄
第二盤最終是在雙方連續互破發球局結束, RAFA 以 6-4 拿下
目前盤數1-1, 我想應該是一個可以宣告退賽的平衡點了吧
結果我錯了, 比賽繼續下去而不是放棄
我記得以前曾經讀過RAFA的訪問, 記者提到他在場上總是跑很多很賣力, RAFA回答大意是選手比賽時要盡全力, 否則就對不起買票進場的球迷
我無法想像, 如果是我滿心歡喜地買了一場決賽門票, 結果打沒幾局就宣告比賽結束, 將會有甚麼感受??
不過 我知道昨天坐在電視機前的我是甚麼感受, 有心疼, 希望比賽趕快結束, 好好休養吧
"Muray won the Rotterdam title with a three set win over Rafa, 6-3, 4-6 y 6-0 in one hour and 50 minutes of play." ( 摘自OFFICIAL SITE RAFA NADAL, 我覺得Murray 打得很好, 且感覺上也更成熟些了, 很好)
如果你對於這場賽事的了解是從比數或是媒體報導 而沒有看到影像轉播, 那麼你可能無法完全感受或體會...
"I had a problem with the injury but I don't want to talk about that," said Nadal. "Andy played very well today and he deserved to win the tournament. I am very happy with my performance this week. I came here without the best preparation after Australia, so it was a great result for me to get to the final here and I am very happy with that." (摘自ATP官網)
Nadal refused to blame his injury for his second successive loss to Murray after last year's US Open semi-final. "Murray just played better today," Nadal said. "I tried but couldn't give anything more in the third set." "I don't think that this injury will be a serious problem, for sure it is not the same as last year." "It was an option not to finish the match, but that is not a good way to finish a final, not for me not for Andy and not for the crowd." (摘自eurosport.com)
在這場決賽前, 我在整理東西, 翻到07年溫布敦決賽報導以及RAFA訪問, 摘要如下
"I had big chances in the fifth, I knew if i got the break in the fifth I had a very good chance for the title... He played well to break me, and I congratulate him."
"But I played a great tournament. I played against one of the best players in history on this surface. Right now it feels disappointing because I had good chances. These first moments - especially after you lose in the fifth set - are not easy. But I am a good loser. I accept the loss very well, and it doesn't affect me for more than a few hours. Tomorrow I will be happy about my tournament and my game."
"He (Federer) is very close to being the greatest player of all time. His tennis is unbelievable. But I am a better player than last year, as I've said already this week. Maybe not as good as Roger right now because he has 11 Grand Slams, me three. But I am young. I am improving every season. Today was tough for me but at the same time it's good for me to be playing at a similar level to the best in the world on grass."

Hi everyone,
Where do I start? Or should I say finish? I suppose this is an end. An end to this diary that I have been doing since Wimbledon 2007 started. I could have done it yesterday night but I am sure you all understand that it was probably not the best thing to do...
...This is not a post to write about my feelings or about the match. I suppose this is what you all want to know. As I say I was sad, very sad, right after the match, but I have always said that I am also a good loser and forgets quickly. There are things in life, in the World we live in that are really bad and serious. To lose a match, even if it is the final of THE tennis tournament is something that only really affects me. And that's OK. I can cope with it. I will try again next year and I will work hard to keep improving...
