Sampras: Nadal能夠超越Federer

Rafael Nadal is "a beast" on the court who is capable of overtaking Roger Federer as the all-time Grand Slam king, according to Pete Sampras.

"If he's smart with his schedule and the fact that he has so many at such a young age, he could very well do it," Sampras said.

如果他在他的參賽時程表安排上夠聰明的話，他這麼年輕，他能有很好的表現。

The 24-year-old Spaniard claimed his ninth Grand Slam crown by winning the US Open earlier this month and became the seventh man to complete a career Grand Slam in the process.

Federer holds the record for most Major titles with 16, having eclipsed the previous mark of 14 set by Sampras.

"The only question with Rafa is physically how much his body can handle the pounding with how hard he works for every point. You just watch him play, the kid is relentless," said Sampras, promoting an exhibition against his old rival Andre Agassi at Madison Square Garden in February.

關於Rafa唯一的疑問就是他的體能狀況，他的身體能夠應付多少每一分都全力攻擊的重擊強度。你看他打球，這個孩子是持續不間斷。

"It's a huge goal, it's a lot of Majors, a lot of work."

When asked whether Nadal needed to pad his resume to cement his place among the sport's all-time greats, Sampras said, "Quite honestly I don't think he needs to."

那是很大的目標，還有很多大滿貫冠軍，以及很多的努力。(是說Rafa要努力的)

被問到Rafa是否需要填滿他的履歷表來鞏固他在網球史上，不論哪個世代都是最佳球員的地位，Pete表示：「老實說我不認為有必要。」

"He's won all the Majors. He's won the Olympics. He's dominated his main rival, in Roger," Sampras said, referring to the Spaniard's 14-7 head-to-head edge over the Swiss master.

他已經贏得所有重大比賽(意旨四大賽)。他贏過奧運金牌。他也在跟他的主要對手Roger的對戰中擁有壓倒的優勢。

"I don't think his goal is 16, or 17 or 18, he's just going to try to improve as a tennis player and if it happens, great.

"He could do it, it's a lot of work ahead and he works so hard in every match he plays. But he's a beast."

我不認為他的目標是16、17或18座大滿貫，他要就是持續努力進步，而如果他真的達到那些大滿貫盃數，那樣很棒。

他能夠辦到，還有很多要努力，而他在他每一場比賽中都這麼努力。但他是個野獸。

That does not mean Sampras is dismissing the 29-year-old Federer's chances of adding to his own total.

"He's a strong favorite for every major he plays. He had two match points against (Novak) Djokovic," Sampras noted about Federer's five-set loss to the Serbian in the US Open semi-finals.

"He could very well have been in the final. He's playing fine, I don't see any big decline. Other guys are playing better. The next two or three years
is a challenging time.

"But Roger is up to the task and can win more majors."

(以上在講Roger，他還是非常讚賞Roger的啦!!!!而且認為他還可以再贏大滿貫)

Sampras would not be drawn into a debate about the best of all time.

"Everyone wants to name the one guy. The way I look at all sports, especially tennis, is that each generation has their own guy.

每個人都想要說出一個人名代表網球史上的最佳球員。所有運動都是，尤其是網球，我認為每個世代都有代表人物。

"In the '60s it was Laver, you had Ivan (Lendl) and John (McEnroe) in the '80s, myself and Andre in the '90s. It's hard to answer. It's just that each decade has their guy," said Sampras, later throwing the likes of Bjorn Borg and Don Budge into the mix.

60年代是Rod Laver，80年代是Ivan Lendl跟John McEnroe，我跟Andre則是90年代。很難回答是誰。就是每十年都有屬於的代表球員。

"But Rafa is definitely up there. You got to definitely put him in the top three or four just on what he's been able to do and it's not over yet. He's
in the middle of his career so he can do a lot more great things."

但Rafa絕對已經是到達這個層次。他絕對能因為他所完成的一切，被視為前三或前四，而且這一切還在進行中，尚未結束。他現在處在他職業生涯的中期，所以他還能完成很多偉大的事情。

考慮要用[Pete]還是用[Rafa]做標題～最後還是選擇了[Pete] XDDDDDD

僅翻譯Pete講Rafa的部份

看到最愛的Pete這麼稱讚Rafa還真令人開心啊\("′▽‵)人(￣0￣)人(′▽‵" )/

不過這篇還真有點標題殺人

看內容其實Pete也沒說Rafa會超越Rogi，最多就是講到他們對戰時Rafa取得絕對優勢罷了

他還是認為Rafa需要做的努力還有很多，還差Rogi很多大滿貫金盃

而且也不覺得Rogi已經在走下坡，他應該還能再拿幾座大滿貫

so

總覺得有些人看不懂中文也看不懂英文，老是不把意思搞清楚就在亂批評 (攤手)

哈哈

不論如何，其實我覺得Rafa早就已經證明了一切啦

是不是用客觀紀錄超越Rogi其實不是很重要

對他自己也對球迷來說，他能夠健健康康地多打幾年球比較重要

I am serious
