INTERVIEW A short interview with JC concerning his injuries and RG. Some of interview can be viewed in the video below. This is just a rough translation. Hopefully one of our Spanish speaking staff members can do a proper one later. ^^
"In Paris I Will Repeat the Triumph of Last Year"
The French tournament approaches and the Ontinyent player continues without fully recovering from his physical ailments. Nevertheless, he is the champion and he trusts that he will defend his title successfully
- How are your injuries?
Right now the injuries to my right wrist and the blow to the ribs that I received when I fell last Saturday during a training have healed enough. I am reaching normality.
- Will they be well in time for Roland Garros?
I think so. Starting Monday I will train as usual. I have requested that the the officials let me begin (my first match) on Tuesday in Roland Garros so that I'll have an extra day. It's a race against the clock, because when it seems that I have recovered there is a new injury that comes about. Nevertheless, I am used to it. It's normal for players to always undergo some type of pain. I hope to be well in Paris, in opposite case I will be reconciled to which there is. (?)
- What is your goal for Roland Garros?
Highest. I want to repeat my triumph of last year and I don't think about lowering that goal, although I know that Roland Garros is close and that I'm racing against the clock.
- This year you had the misfortune of many injuries, do you worry you'll undergo another mishap?
I hope no. During those time when I was on the verge of recovering from my ailments, always something new occured that prevented it. Chicken pox, injury to the wrist, the ribs... The worse thing is the problem in the ribs, that is most painful. But I must push through the pain and continue training.
