北京时间11月23日消息,霍普曼杯还有好几个月才开始却先传来美国名将小威廉姆斯熟悉的退赛消息,这令美国队乃至整个霍普曼杯的阵容大打折扣。这是小威职业生涯第三次宣布退出这项在澳大利亚珀斯举行的室内混合团体赛,2004年她因膝盖手术退出了比赛,2009年她因腿筋受伤被迫退赛。
今年7月温网结束后,小威的脚在德国慕尼黑一家餐馆意外割伤。最初她的伤口缝了18针,回国后伤势仍不见好转,小威被迫动手术对受伤的脚部肌腱进行修复。 由于伤势恢复缓慢,小威不得不退出美网、中网、东京泛太平洋公开赛、林茨站等一系列比赛。10月10日小威在个人官网上宣布她很有可能提前结束2010赛季。“由于我非常渴望重返赛场,很急切地投入恢复训练导致脚部肌腱再度拉伤。昨天早晨我不得不再度展开修复治疗。”
不过尽管远离网球赛场,小威的场外生活还是丰富多彩的。上周她被拍到拄着拐杖出席迈阿密的NFL比赛,她的右脚上缠着厚厚的石膏。
在距1月份的霍普曼杯开赛还有2个月之际宣布退赛,可想而知小威的伤势恢复情况并不可喜,令她的澳网卫冕之旅也蒙上了一层阴影。
根据参赛计划,小威将和伊斯内尔合作出战2011赛季的霍普曼杯。目前确认参赛的选手有比利时的海宁、英国的穆雷、塞尔维亚的德约科维奇和伊万诺维奇、法国的孟菲尔斯以及澳洲本土名将休伊特。小威伤退的消息无疑令本届霍普曼杯阵容受损。
这个消息最早是由澳洲本土媒体Sportsnewsfirst.com发布出来的,他们称组委会目前正在为小威寻找替补,当地时间周二才会对外正式宣布这个消息。至于美国队是退出本届比赛还是找一名替补选手还不得而知。
Serena Williams pulls out of Hopman Cup
By Tim Clarke
22 November 2010 08:17PM EST
THE Hopman Cup has been hit with a familiar but still devastating blow, with American Serena Williams tipped to withdraw from the mixed team event.
Williams has been struggling with a foot injury since mysteriously cutting her foot in Munich back in July, which eventually required her to have surgery to repair a damaged tendon.
She was pictured only last week arriving at an NFL game in Miami on crutches, and with her right foot in significant plaster.
And Sportsnewsfirst.com.au understands Williams has told organisers she will not be attending the mixed team event because of injury, and they are now scrambling to find a replacement.
And it will also put some doubt over Williams' appearance at the Australian Open just days later.
It is the third time Williams has withdrawn from the Perth indoor event, with knee surgery ruling her out of the 2003/2004 version and a hamstring forcing her to pull out of the 2008/2009 version.
This time, it is the cuts she sustained when exiting a restaurant in Munich in the middle of the year, which have never fully been explained.
Williams initially received 18 stitches, but was then required to undergo more surgery to repair a tendon.
After withdrawing from the US Open, she returned to practice in September, but then put off her comeback by pulling out of tournaments in Tokyo, Beijing and Linz, Austria.
On October 10, in a posting on her official website, Serena said she "re-strained" her foot by overtraining and "likely" would be out of the year.
"Pushed by my desire to return to competition, I trained too hard too soon and re-tore the tendon in my foot," Williams said.
"As a result, yesterday morning I had to have another procedure to repair it."
Williams had been set to begin her 2011 season by playing a part in the best ever field assembled for the Hopman Cup due to partnering John Isner, with Justine Henin, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Ana Ivanovic, Gael Monfils and Lleyton Hewitt all confirmed.
It is unclear whether the US will withdraw from the event altogether, or a replacement will be found for Williams in the American team.
An announcement is due from organisers on Tuesday. |
