[情報] Hewitt可能退出法網

休伊特離奇摔斷肋骨可能缺席法網 NO.2地位恐不保
2005年05月11日11:59

　　剛剛經歷了未婚妻懷有身孕將迎來第一個孩子的歡喜，現在卻又變成了幾乎肯定缺席
法網大賽的悲傷，“澳洲野兔”休伊特在一周之內經歷了從喜到悲的巨大轉變，或許一個
人的確不能獨佔太多的幸運，否則就連老天都會嫉妒的。

　　據澳洲媒體11日報道，休伊特在當地時間週二晚上已正式宣佈退出下周開戰的世界團
體錦標賽，原因是週一他在家中離奇般的摔倒，隨後經過 X光的檢查確認有兩根肋骨摔斷
，這使得他幾乎肯定不可能在法網開戰大賽之前複出，畢竟這已經算是相當嚴重的傷勢。
一旦休伊特最終確定不能前往巴黎參賽，那將是他自1998年的美網之後首度缺席四大滿貫
賽事。

　　休伊特的教練羅傑-拉希德接受媒體採訪時稱，“這是一次不幸的災難，我們非常失
望。萊頓在印第安維爾斯的決賽之後就一直在努力能夠從腳傷中恢復過來，而我們也為參
加紅土賽事做好了準備，甚至可以說已經盡我們所能為法網大賽的到來做足了所有功課，
但是發生的這一切還是讓我們很遺憾。”

　　如果休伊特最終退出法網大賽，那麼對於澳大利亞軍團來說將是又一次的沉重打擊，
此前澳洲女子NO.1莫裏克和“澳洲大炮”菲利普西斯已分別宣佈因傷和戰略考慮放棄參加
法網，現在一來，他們僅有女子的斯托瑟、男子的阿瑟斯等二線選手前往巴黎為祖國人民
爭光，可以預見的是澳大利亞人將在那裏迎來一場實實在在的聲譽危機。

　　另一方面，由於將幾乎肯定錯過整個紅土賽季的所有比賽，休伊特在ATP世界排名榜
和冠軍積分排名榜上領先羅迪克的優勢將很有可能在法網之後消失殆盡，首先他本周在
漢堡大師賽的上屆四強衛冕積分將被扣除，而去年在羅蘭加洛斯進入八強的獎勵積分也
將可能因不能參賽而全部被扣，這樣羅迪克在坐穩法網2號種子的地位之後，只需在羅蘭
加洛斯取得比去年進入第二輪更好的成績，將極有可能在溫布爾登大賽開賽之前，超過
休伊特重返世界NO.2的位置，並以2號種子的身份迎來自己最喜歡的草地大滿貫賽，與
此同時他也將憑藉此優勢成功的在溫網決賽之前避開已經兩冠的費德勒，而這無疑會令
他爭奪首個溫網冠軍的機會大增。

　　不過到目前為止，休伊特一方仍在為能夠參加法網比賽而在做最後努力，他們並沒有
向媒體透露具體的傷勢以及需要休養的時間，這就表示接下來的12天時間，將成為澳洲野
兔與傷病作最後鬥爭的關鍵期限。畢竟一旦不能順利參加法網，休伊特比誰都清楚這對自
己的影響有多大，儘管他此前一直表示自己的備戰重心是在溫網大賽，但是過早的在半決
賽就遇到費德勒顯然也不是他所期望的。


Hewitt may miss French Open

LLEYTON Hewitt is in extreme doubt for the French Open after cracking
his ribs in a freak mishap.

Hewitt last night withdrew from the Arag World Team Cup in Dusseldorf,
where he was to lead Australia's charge from Sunday. 

The Wimbledon and US Open winner fell at his Sydney home on Monday. Hewitt
consulted doctors at the New South Wales Institute of Sport and Davis Cup
medico David Brooks and X-rays revealed he had damaged two ribs.

The accident is the latest setback for the world No. 2, who will now struggle
to be fit to contest the French Open in Paris in 12 days.

If Hewitt is unable to travel to Roland Garros, it will be the first grand
slam tournament he has missed since the 1998 US Open.

"It is an unfortunate mishap and very disappointing," Hewitt's coach Roger
Rasheed said last night.

"Lleyton has worked hard to recover from toe surgery after the Indian Wells
final and he had prepared very well for the claycourt season. We will do our
best to be ready for the French Open."

Hewitt's absence from the French Open would not only further dilute
Australia's presence -- Alicia Molik (illness) and Mark Philippoussis
(fitness) will not play -- it would also jeopardise his world No. 2 ranking.

Despite slipping to No. 3 in the Champions' race, Hewitt retains a valuable
points lead over American Andy Roddick in the entry ranking system.

But if Hewitt is unable to defend the quarter-final points he won last year
in Paris and Roddick has a strong tournament, Hewitt's hold on the No. 2
seeding for Wimbledon could be in doubt.

Hewitt has lost the semi-final points he won at last year's Hamburg Masters,
but has a reprieve after Roddick's first-round loss.

If Hewitt bypasses the French, he will immediately begin preparations for
Wimbledon's grass.

He could remain in Sydney and use the portable Tennis Australia court to be
used for the Davis Cup quarter-final against Argentina in July.

Hewitt has played just 21 matches this season -- winning 18 -- after reaching
the Australian Open final, winning Sydney and starring at Masters series
level in the US.

But he has not been able to get back on the court competitively since losing
the Indian Wells final to world No. 1 Roger Federer in March.

The baseliner withdrew from Miami, incurring a $52,000 fine, to undergo
surgery on his foot to remove a cyst.

Since resuming training, Hewitt has quickly found familiar form.

But last week he scratched from Hamburg, where French Open favourites
Rafael Nadal and Carlos Moya have also withdrawn.

Hewitt was due to leave Australia tomorrow for Dusseldorf. Devastated by
the injury, he contacted Dusseldorf officials late yesterday. 

It is not known if the Australian team, to be led now by Wayne Arthurs and
his doubles partner Paul Hanley, will hold its place if Scott Draper answers
an 11th hour call-up to replace Hewitt.

If not, the German round-robin might be forced to summon a substitute team.
