Clarin昨天的报道 应该就是昨天或者前天对David的采访 谈论主要是本周的Copa Claro
==================================================================================
Q: How are you, going into this tournament?
David: Good, good. The truth is I'm very happy with the way I've been training. Last week, Lobito [Luis Lobo] was in Córdoba. I've been training hard.
Q: Do you think that maybe people are worried because of your last performances? Because in Australia you could barely move in the second match and at Santiago you lost in the second round.
David: Noo. Do you think people are worried?
Q: It's not unusual to be dead on your feet after a match as long as the one against Hewitt, without being able to respond, physically.
David: Buehh [that's really what it says], but the match at the Australian Open was tremendous. With the nerves, the pressure, with the opponent, it was a lot more than what it seemed at first glance. And apart from that we finished playing at 1.30am. And I ended up going to bed at around 5 in the morning or something, after the massages, the press, food. And then you go around in circles because you can't sleep. You can't recover that well and then the other day, I played during the day. Things like that happen. And afterwards, in Chile, it was like playing in a field. All the matches I saw were very bad. It was impossible to play. Tell the people to stay calm, I'll do a good job at Buenos Aires.
Q: I was asking you because after surgery, the million-dollar question was whether you can still last five sets...
David: (interrupts) That answered the question the people or you had - I did it. But are you asking me about the five-set match against Hewitt or the one after that? Hahaha.
Q: The question was about whether you'd be able to last in a match, but the other one wasn't.
David: I think that as I'll go on playing and go on adjusting I'm going to feel a little better. You have to remember that I'm still limited in some ways in training and in a way, that hurts my performance and also my recovery. But little by little, getting the medical okay, I try to do my best.
Q: At Buenos Aires, who will be the one to beat?
David: I think it's going to be Almagro, who's a very tough opponent on clay. Robredo, who comes here, having won Santiago. And then the Argentines are always tough, like Monaco, who's playing well and difficult to beat if he's playing with confidence. Wawrinka as well is very tough, and Bellucci is a very promising player.
Q: Do you see yourself as one of the contenders for the title?
David: Yes, and if I didn't then I wouldn't be playing here. If I didn't I would be playing on hardcourt in the US, which would be better for my hip.
Q: Having won the title in 2008, where do you get the motivation for this tournament from?
David: From wanting to win it again and playing at home every day. We don't get to play here much and in front of our home crowd. And now we get the chance. That's spectacular and to play at a full stadium is something beautiful.
Q: Do you feel a little pressure?
David: You always have a little more than the usual pressure when you're playing at home. But it's nice because an athlete walks on court and enjoys it. Otherwise you probably wouldn't be there.
Q: While you're not a veteran, you're 29 years old. Do you think that this might be your last tournament in Buenos Aires?
David: No, I don't see it that way. I think that I still have some years left. I don't think that this will be the last time.
Q: From the David Nalbandian who first played this event in 2001 to this one now - what has changed?
David: Back then, the crowd went to see a promising young player and today a contender. Now I enjoy it in a different way because I know how it is. Back then it was with uncertatinty, anxiety and nerves.
