錦織圭是否出戰法網存疑 - 亞網 Tennis

剛看到官網的最新新聞，
好像最近不少人在官網上問到小圭會不會參加法網，
而他的經紀人今天也出來解釋了一下。
大意是會希望靠傷排(第106位)擠進會內賽，但還差八位才輪到，
不過同時也有申請會內賽外卡。

由於小圭只能靠傷排參加八項比賽，所以經紀人特別提到在選擇比賽上很謹慎。
另外在復出後的兩項挑戰賽均晉級至八強，
成績是令人滿意的，特別是小圭的手臂已經完全康復了，
現在就是要等他慢慢抓回比賽節奏，他對此很樂觀。

這週會在Nick Bollettieri網球學院繼續訓練，
看小圭日文版的日記裡提到現在開始在紅土球場練習了。

Just a quick update about Kei's entry into the French Open. These last
couple of days I received a lot of inquiries about whether Kei will or will
not play in the French Open. To clarify this situation, as Kei's manager, I
would like to update you fully on the situation:

I have entered Kei into the French Open with his protected ranking of 106.
Over a period of 9 months (since his first match in Delray), Kei has 8
tournaments he can enter with his protected ranking of 106. We are picking
his schedule very carefully and balancing many factors: regaining match
toughness, match rhythm, health, competition of the players he will face,
training blocks, etc.

As of right now (the list just came out last week) Kei is 8 spots out of the
main draw of the French Open. I am expecting this list will drop but I
cannot give you any information whether it will be enough for Kei to move
into the main draw. We have obviously also requested a Main Draw WC for Kei.

In addition, I wanted to give you a quick update regarding the last two
weeks. Kei reached the quarter finals in both Baton Rouge Challenger and the
Tallahassee Challenger. We are happy with the progress especially since
Kei's arm has been pain free for both tournaments. Of course Kei is getting
used to playing back-to-back matches in tournaments again and improving his
match rhythm is something that will come with time. He has not played
competitive tennis for 11 months and history shows us that when players come
back from injuries like this it will take 8 to 10 healthy tournaments before
they are back at their top level again.

This coming week Kei will be in Bradenton at the IMG/Bollettieri Academy
working with Nick Bollettieri and Glenn Weiner on his continued progress back
to the top 100.
