    THE US OPEN T O Throughout its 133-year history, the US Open has dared its entrants to dream U R I N big, to strive for excellence in each and every match, and in turn the Open has N F A O done the same.

In fact, more than R C O I L 700,000 fans on-site make the US Open the world’s largest-attended annual sporting event, and U I T N more than 53 million online visitors plus a global television audience share in the thrill and excite - Y D & ment each year.

    CHF 8.90 Offizielles Verbandsmagazin: 10/2017 November 2017 Partner von Ausgabe Nr. 10 Marco Chiudinelli Roger Rücktritt in Basel – Federer nach 17 Profi-Jahren Sein 8. Triumph an den Swiss Indoors Schweiz der Wild Card Die wichtige Hilfe auf dem Weg nach oben Tennis-Magazin Das 10 Adieu, Martina! Eine einzigartige Karriere ist zu Ende – nach 114 Titeln und 1283 Partien im Profizirkus 9 771424 925002 WARM-UP Herzlichsten Dank, Martina und Marco! Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser Abschied ist ein bisschen wie sterben. So kitschig dieser Satz ist, so realitätsnah ist er doch auch. So war es auch im letzten Oktoberdrittel, als innert weniger Tage Marco Chiudinelli und Martina Hingis ihren Rücktritt bekannt gaben. Viele waren traurig, auch Roger Federer, hörte doch sein Jugendfreund und Partner unzähliger Schlachten auf den Trainings- und Turniercourts, am Gameboy und auf Fussballplätzen auf sowie die zehn Monate ältere Ostschweizerin, die ihn, den «Luftibus», wie er selber in diesem Maga- zin sagt, animierte, professioneller zu werden. Und auch ich verdrückte die eine oder andere Träne, als ich beim sportlichen Farewell der beiden zwischen Allschwil, Basler St. Jakobshalle und Singapur einige Tennishallen und Flugmeilen sammelte. Chiudinelli wird mir in Erinnerung bleiben als «Schweizer Nummer 1 der Normalsterb- lichen», als Stehaufmann, der immer gewinnen wollte, auch wenn die Ausgangslage noch so stark gegen ihn sprach und als eloquenter Gesprächspartner, aber auch als einer, der es schaffte, an einer Kinderpressekonferenz die Frage eines Sechsjährigen so herun- ter zu brechen, dass der Dreikäsehoch die Antwort hundertprozentig verstand. Und Martina Hingis hat mich begleitet, seit ich Tennis denke. Ich war bei ihrem ersten Profiturnier in Langenthal im Oktober 1993 dabei, als Fan, ebenfalls ein Jahr später bei ihrem WTA-Debüt in der Saalsporthalle.

The Belgians are the only one of the 4 semifinalists to have never won the competition, while Australia stands in 2nd place on the list for most Davis Cup titles, behind USA, having won the competition 28 times. The Australians, however, will be wary of the threat posed by Belgium, which has won the nations’ 2 most recent meetings and must adapt quickly to clay having not played a Davis Cup tie on the surface since 2014. Around 100km away in Lille, France take on Serbia in a repeat of the 2010 Davis Cup Final. Serbia won on that occasion with Viktor Troicki winning in a decisive 5th rubber – but both Troicki and Novak Djokovic are missing this time round due to injuries.
