世界排名87的新歡是ATP最有潛力的天才少年之一. 星期二的比賽中,21歲的保加利亞人以7-6(3), 6-1, 6-1擊敗來自美國的Donald Young,贏得他在Roland Garros(法網)會內賽的首勝. 賽後他接受萬惡ATP的訪問,分享巴黎觀光的小秘訣以及他目標Top 50的野心(怎麼又變低了= =)

Grigor, your first win at Roland Garros, you must be delighted with that?
甜心,這是你在Roland Garros的首勝耶~你一定很開心齁?

Oh yeah, definitely. Especially with me living here in Paris, it’s a great feeling. I’ve been waiting for this tournament for quite a long time and I’m pretty happy to go through the first round. What a great day to play today as well. Everything has been quite good and I feel great. I live by myself in Paris, but all my relatives came to watch me, so there was just a great feeling today. My Mum and Dad, friends, everyone was here and they were supporting me all the way. I was glad I could close it out in three sets as well.
喔耶~當然啦,更因為我住在巴黎,這感覺超讚的!我已經等這個賽事很久惹,我非常開心能過首輪.像今天這樣打比賽多好啊!!!萬物是如此的美妙而我也感覺棒透了!我自己一個人住在巴黎(Ya~),但是我的親戚朋友都來看我了!!!所以今天感覺特別的好!!我媽咪爹地(所以等一下他們又要去買酒喝了嘛XD),我的朋友們每個人都在這裡全程支持我,我很開心我今天三盤就贏了v( ̄︶ ̄)y



What makes Roland Garros special for you? How is it different to the other Grand Slams?
為什麼Roland Garros對你而言如此特別呢?他和其他的大滿貫有何不同?


It’s on clay courts [laughs]. I think first of all the place is great. There’s tonnes of people that are attending the tournament. People are appreciating this tournament a lot. I think it’s always a special place. It’s the summer so everyone is feeling quite well, everyone’s been practising and in the rhythm. So you really can see who has played well and who is ready to continue the year in a good style.
因為他在紅土啊[大笑] 第一這地方很棒,這裡有上噸的人們參與這個賽事,大家非常欣賞這個賽事,他就是這樣特別的地方.而且現在是夏天,大家感覺特別好,大家沉浸在練習中,所以你常常能看到誰誰誰打得很好或誰誰誰已經為接下來的賽事準備好狀況了!(溫布頓也在夏天啊,溫布頓觀眾也很多啊,到時候溫布頓再問你同一題看你怎麼自圓其說XDDD)


You mentioned you live in Paris, what’s your top sightseeing tip for people visiting the city?
你提到你住在巴黎,那你可不可提供你的巴黎觀光首選呢?


I live actually a little bit outside of the city. I’m not a city boy, definitely. I live in the countryside. But in the city there’s obviously tonnes of restaurants you can visit. There’s lounges and of course the Louvre – it’s well known worldwide. All these sites you can just check out. There’s tonnes of things to do, you’re never bored
其實我住在巴黎城郊啦~顯然我不是個都會型男啊(NOOO, you are definitely a city boy!! ALL Louis Vuitton!!!)不過在巴黎有成千上萬的餐廳值得一訪,有酒吧當然還有羅浮宮,世界知名的呦~這些地方你都可以去晃晃,在巴黎能做的事超多,你絕對不會無聊啦!!



You’ve come close to the Top 50 before, what do you think you need to do to take that next step?
你之前曾經如此靠近Top 50,你認為你的下一步是什麼呢?

It’s always nice to be consistent of course. Every player is travelling for that. I think if you are consistent and injury free and improve your game all the time, working on special things, you automatically become better. Everything is starting to become more fluid for you and automatically you win more matches, get more points and the ranking goes up. Personally, I think I can improve a bunch of things. I just have to take a little time. I’m not worried about it.
一路走來始終如一這點很重要啊(我在亂翻什麼啊orz) 每個選手到處旅行都為了這個目標(我想基於他以前的訪問,應該是說大家都為了贏得大滿貫或top1而努力奮鬥吧!而他也是矢志不渝的!!!)我想如果你堅持而且不受傷又一直進步的話,加強特別的地方,你自然會變得更好!每件事都會開始變得更流暢而你自然會贏更多比賽,獲得更多積分然後提高排名.我個人認為我還有一堆東西要改進,我只需要一點時間,我並不擔心.(as a bunch of things, why need you only a little time?????去跟肯尼請教英文!!!!)

What do you like to do in your free time? How do you relax away from the court?
你空閒時間都在做甚麼咧?你怎麼從球場上放鬆?


I’m quite a laidback guy. I like to stay home and chill a little bit. I’ve been biking a lot in the countryside, especially when the weather is like this. It’s just amazing trying to find everything around you. I’m quite an easy guy, I like movies.
噢我很懶的~我喜歡在家當阿宅然後放鬆,我很喜歡在田野間騎腳踏車,尤其像這樣的好天氣!探索身邊的事物常會有驚人的發現!!我很隨興的~我喜歡電影!!

Bulgaria aren’t involved in the European Championships this summer, but are you a football fan? Will you be following the Euros?
保加利亞沒能打進今年夏天的歐洲盃,但你是足球迷嗎?你會追歐洲盃嘛?


I’m not a fan like some of the other guys on tour, but I like soccer, I play quite often. I try to enjoy it as much as possible. In my free time I play a lot of soccer and I follow sometimes whatever’s happening in the world.
我不像其他網球員這麼瘋啦~但是我喜歡足球(幹~你歐洲人用什麼soccer啊!!!!)我常常踢足球,我會盡可能地追一下歐洲盃啦!!我休閒時間常常踢足球也會關心一下世界足壇新聞.(明明之前就說自己是曼聯迷= =)


結論:Grisho是個喜愛使用LV的鄉村少年(毆)
