澳大利亚，墨尔本 – 北京时间1月25日，如愿捧起澳网冠军的李娜来到了新闻发布厅，以下是新科澳网冠军的赛后采访摘录：
关于开局阶段的紧张表现……
“我觉得比赛开局我们两个都很紧张，我自己的一发状态也不是特别好，不过我一直努力坚持在球场上，看看自己能做些什么，赢下第一盘之后情况就好多了，我就努力着延续着击球的状态。”
关于何时开始感觉控制住了比赛……
“比赛初段打得非常艰难，因为我自己也很紧。开赛之前我提醒自己什么都不要想，专心打球就好了，但这种情况下你不可能把这当成一场平常的比赛，决赛就是决赛。所以比赛开局非常难打，不过我觉得进入抢七之后我开始越打越好。”
关于兑现赛点之后相对平静的庆祝……
“当她在15-40落后的时候，我确实想过赢球之后应该怎么庆祝（全场笑），我都已经想夺冠的事情了。但随后我丢掉了那一分，我马上又告诉自己别想了，专心打好下一分吧。随后我终于赢下了比赛，我真的真的非常兴奋。”
“我也试过想和团队去拥抱，但太高了 – 我够不到！”
关于成为公开赛时代最年长的澳网女单冠军……
“我还不老！澳网开始之前每个人都在谈论年龄的问题，我想说的是年龄什么都不是，你还是能拿大满贯的冠军，我对自己的年龄很满意，我的经验非常丰富。”
关于与法网冠军的对比……
“这一次我准备地更加充分，每一轮比赛每一天的训练，我都在考虑着应该做些什么。我为半决赛和决赛都做了充分的准备 – 法网的时候我就是努力去拼，并没有想过输赢的问题。这一次，我真的很希望自己能够做好。”
“而且人们可能也不会知道我为这个冠军复出了多少努力和汗水。”
关于信念……
“你知道的，去年当我说想要进入世界前三的时候，几乎没有人相信我。而今年年初我说我想再赢一座大满贯，可能也没有人会相信。”
“最重要的事情是我相信，卡洛斯相信，我的团队都相信，这就足够了。”
关于用哪个词语形容自己过去的两周……
“艰难（Tough）。真的非常艰难。你看到了最后我捧起了奖杯，但你们看不到我在背后艰苦的训练，看不到我为了夺冠的艰苦历程。与萨法洛娃的比赛也很艰难，43度的高温下苦战三个小时 – 让自己坚持在比赛中并最终赢下战斗真的非常艰难。”
关于下一个目标……
“如果只是说我想再赢一个大满贯非常容易，不过我知道夺得大满贯需要付出多大的努力。所以如果我想再赢一两个的话，我必须要重新回到训练场上好好努力。”
“否则的话，毫无机会。”
Quotable Quotes: Li Na
How does this one compare to her French Open victory? What word would she use to summarize these last two weeks? What’s her next goal? Li Na met the press after her Australian Open triumph.
MELBOURNE, Australia – Li Na met the press after winning the second Grand Slam title of her career at the Australian Open on Saturday night. Here’s a taste of what the soon-to-be World No.3 said…
On the seemingly nervous beginning of the match…
“At the beginning of the match I think both of us were tight, nervous. I don’t think I had a very good first serve either. But I just kept trying to do my best on the court and hang in there to see what I could do, and after I won the first set it was much better. I just kept trying to hit the ball in the court.”
On when she felt she started controlling the match…
“In the beginning it was tough because I was tight. Before I came on the court I told myself not to think about it and just play my game, but in this situation you can’t think it’s a normal match. The final is the final. So the beginning was tough, but I think I started playing well when the tie-break started.”
On her relatively calm celebration after match point…
“When she was serving at 15-40, I was thinking about what I should do after I win the match. It’s amazing, I was already thinking about that. But after I lost that point, I just tried not to think. I just tried to focus on that point. And when I won the match, I was really, really excited about everything.
“I would have tried to go and hug my team, but it’s too high – I cannot reach it!”
On becoming the oldest woman to win the Australian Open in the Open Era…
“I’m not old! But yeah, at the start of the tournament everyone was talking about age. I would like to say age is nothing. You can still win a Grand Slam. I’m pretty happy about my age. I have experience.”
On how this one compares to her French Open victory…
“I prepared for this one a lot more. Every round and every day I was thinking about what I should do every match. I prepared what I should do for the semis, again for the final – at the French I just went for it and didn’t think about winning or losing. This one, I was really wishing I could do well.
“And people might not know how hard I was working mentally to make this one.”
On belief…
“You know, last year when I said I wanted to be Top 3 in the world, nobody believed me. And at the beginning of this year I said I wanted to win another Grand Slam title, and nobody believed me.
“The most important thing is I believe, Carlos believes and my team believes. That’s all.”
On what word she would use to summarize the last two weeks…
“Tough. It really is. You see in the end I have the title, but people don’t see how tough the work I’ve done was, and how tough a job I had to do to get here. Also it was very tough to play Safarova, 43 degrees, three hours on the court – it’s very tough to hang in there and finally win the match.”
On her next goal…
“It’s very easy to say I want to win another one, but I know how much work it takes to win a Grand Slam. So if I want to win another one or two, I have to go back on the court and work very hard.
“Otherwise, no chance.”
