ロディック語る

今年９月頃の記事より。

去年のあのウィンブルドン敗退後、しばらく（a couple of months ）休みを取ろうかと思うほど落ち込んだとか。

ジム・クーリエ：「しんどいねえ。ヤツ（ロディック）には同情するよ。今日（の敵＝現役選手たち）と昨日（の敵＝サンプラス・アガシなど）と同時に戦わなきゃいけないなんてね。」

clipped from www.tennisweek.com "People sometimes seem like they want me to apologize for the way I've been playing, and it isn't going to happen," "Fed and Nadal have played better than anybody over the past two years, and, except for them, I’ve been the one guy who has consistently been in the top five for the last few years," "It’s night and day. Last year after Wimbledon, I sat here feeling completely lost, and the thought had crossed my mind to take a couple of months off," he recalls. "I was depressed. Professionally, I was about as down as I’ve ever been." "The biggest thing Jimmy [Connors] sees in me is that I’m a worker," says Roddick. "I don’t slack off on anything. I put in the hours." "It’s a tough way to go," says Courier. "I feel for the guy. It’s not fair to have to compete with today and yesterday at the same time."
