（单词翻译）

The greatest of all time.

He is the man who can’t seem to lose in New York City.

"Five,six..."

Roger Federer is playing for a record setting six consecutive¹ United States Open tennis title, but now he is a father of twins.

"How do you feel coming into this US Open?"

"I feel great, obviously, you know a lot happened also in my personal life.You know, having twin girls Myla and Charlene doing great and it was our first, you know, big trip you know they are only five weeks old and they’ve already you know come here to America and I have success already in Cincinnati winning there. So obviously I’m very eager to start at the open in a week’s time and things are looking very good."

"What do you like best and least about playing here in New York at the US Open where you said the fans and cab drivers love you. But there must there are gotta be problems, it’s New York."

"Well, yeah, I mean exactly. New York is not so easy sometimes.You know I used to have travel just handing the whole...er...the pace here in New York. You know, coming from Switzerland, things are a bit more relaxed over there. And then you come to New York and everything is just buzzing,you know the humidity² used to be a factor for me. Playing in the wind was used to be tough but today I mean it’s awesome³."

Where there’s Federer there’s Nadal. His Spanish super rival is recovering from an injury. Nadal had sit and watched Federer win Wimbledon.

"Did you miss the challenge with him? Were you a little bit envious⁴?"

"I missed the competition, not the challenge against him."

Can Federer be beaten?

"I think he is human, Federer, I’m not sure. But the ways have been playing hasn’t been that way but I would suspect after winning five in a row and breaking the record and having twins. It’s gotta be a tiny bit of letdown."

Don’t tell that to Federer’s fans.

"He is beautiful. Did you watch him play? He skips on the court like Baryshnikov (a famous Russian dancer), like they say. He is like a cross between martial⁵, arts and ballet. And look at him. He is so cute.""Far away..."

"I love watching him. He's like a god as, have you seen him play? I think it’s mind boggling."
