AO 2011: Najlepsze cytaty

Pytania na pomeczowych konferencjach bywają schematyczne i tenisiści doskonale wiedzą, czego się spodziewać i co odpowiedzieć, żeby jak najszybciej uciec. Jednak gdy dziennikarzowi udaje się zaskoczyć zawodnika...Odpowiedzi bywają różne. Oto zbiór najlepszych cytatów tegorocznego Australian Open.

Pytanie do Rafaela Nadala: - Nie rozprasza Cię, gdy wszyscy wołają, że Cię kochają? -Nie, skądże, to fantastyczne! - A nie wolałbyś tego wyłączyć? - Nie, słyszę wszystko i to całkiem miłe. - A co z dziewczynami, które gwiżdżą na Ciebie i robią Ci zdjęcia, kiedy zmieniasz koszulkę? - To naprawdę świetne uczucie!

Andy Roddick krótko skomentował sytuację amerykańskiego tenisa: - (...) wy już na pewno napisaliście swoje artykuły, więc to bez znaczenia, co powiem. Oczywiście, nie jest tak, jak byśmy sobie życzyli, ale robię, co mogę.

Z dziennikarzami pogrywał sobie także Roger Federer. Na pytanie: - W co zainwestujesz swoją wygraną?, odpowiedział pytaniem: - A czego się Pan spodziewa po Szwajcarze? - Złoży je pan na koncie w szwajcarskim banku. - Tak, składamy pieniądze w bankach, dokładnie to robimy. I siedzimy na nich. Później zobaczymy, co z nimi zrobimy. Ale nie zamierzam Wam powiedzieć, o nie!

Bardzo ciekawą wypowiedź ma na swoim koncie zwycięzca turnieju. Novak Đoković opowiedział o tym, jak świętował wygraną Serbii w Davis Cup w grudniu. - Nie spędziłem zbyt dużo czasu w swoim kraju po tej wygranej. To były dwa dni i dwie noce świętowania... Naszym celem były trzy. Jednak po drugim dniu wylądowaliśmy w szpitalu.

During the match, the thought that kept coming to my mind was that I was watching a genius. It’s like Chopin who was born to compose music. Nadal was born to win tennis matches.” — Wojtek Fibak, former Polish player and current coaching consultant of Djokovic.

About dislike for Novak Djokovic.

I've known him since I was 12 years old. We trained and lived together in the same room in Munich. I remember he was a normal, cool guy. But when he achieved his first big success then the look in his eyes just changed. You could just feel it. It's not like we argued or anything, I just feel like he has changed and I don't like that in people. I like strong characters who don't change when first success or money appear - that's the most important quality for me and it's also important for myself not to change.

"When I play my best yes I'm more a Djokovic game wise. When I'm not at my best I'm more like Murray."
