20 17 Australian open Federer's acceptance speech

Beijing time 65438+1October 29th news, Federer finally got his wish in Melbourne Park, and won the 18 Grand Slam title which has been waiting for four and a half years. It was Nadal who defeated him. After the game, the Swiss king talked about the significance of this championship to himself, but he emphasized more the importance of a strong comeback after injury.

"For me, coming back to play an epic game with Rafa is the most important thing. I want to thank Peter Kater and Tony Roach for realizing this dream in Australia. I feel a lot of support here. At my age, I can break the shortage of grand slam titles that lasted for nearly five years. This is what I value. As for the quantity itself, it is not important. "

"You have to make adjustments. If you are Rafa, are there any other options? Of course, it's a little embarrassing to win like this. Anyway, at that moment, I was happy. I also saw my team mirka, and everyone was celebrating crazily. That's so cool. At that time, I knew that I really won, and that feeling was great. "

"I told myself to give it a try. I also discussed this with the coach before the game. Hit the ball boldly, and courage pays off. I don't want to be suppressed by Rafa's forehand. I think this is the right decision made at the right time. I always believe that I have a chance to win the final victory. So I can play my best at the last minute. In fact, I am a little surprised myself. "

When talking about his old rival Nadal, Federer said frankly: "Rafa definitely occupies a very special position in my career. He made me a better player. His style of play is a bit unbearable. For me, playing against him is still the biggest challenge. I said before the final that if I could beat Rafa, it would be very special, because I haven't beaten him in the grand slam final for a long time. The last time was about 2007. I'm glad we all did our best tonight. He is always so great. So I hope he can continue to insist on it for a long time and interpret the sport in his way. "

"In the second set, I felt a little uncomfortable with the quadriceps. In the middle of the third set, my groin began to hurt. Since there are regulations, it can be used. Of course, we should not abuse this rule. " As for Pat Cash's belief that the injury was suspected of cheating, Federer responded: "I think this is a bit exaggerated. After all, I told the injury to stop. I don't know what he means. "

"You know, my tennis career can't last forever. If I get hurt, I may miss next year's game. This is just a statement. You never know what the next grand slam will be like. I just wanted to thank so many people at that moment. Last year was very difficult for me. I just express it in my own way. I don't have any specific plans or anything. This does not mean that this is my last time to participate in the Australian Open. I certainly hope to come back. "
