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.

    Powered by SAVE THIS | EMAIL THIS | Close Hewitt's lawsuit has little merit Posted: Monday April 28, 2003 12:57 PM Sports Illustrated senior writer Jon Wertheim will answer your tennis questions every Monday. Click here to send a question. Andre Agassi is the winner of this week's annual Player of the Week award. The A-Train won his fourth title of the year at Houston. Along the way he took over the No. 1 ranking and became the oldest player ever to hold the top spot. Bravo. ... In the final, Agassi was trailing 3-6, 0-2, 0-40 to Andy Roddick. Agassi hit a backhand dropshot winner to stay in the game. He held serve, broke Roddick a few games later and rolled from there. ... Two observations about Agassi's tremendous feat of reaching the rankings pinnacle: 1) We're not saying the Champions Race needs to be abolished, but this is yet another example of why the 52-week ranking still has resonance. 2) Anyone else get the feeling that, with his anemic playing schedule, Lleyton Hewitt is cutting off his nose to spite his face? When he finishes the year at No. 2 or 3 because he's hellbent on entering as few ATP events as possible, boy, he really will have shown them. (More on Hewitt below.) ... In the Houston doubles final, the world's top team of Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor beat Jan- Michael Gambill and former Illinois standout Graydon Oliver 6-4, 6-3. ... In Fed Cup (slogan: The hottest thing to hit Lowell, Mass., since the Industrial Revolution), the Williams sisters rolled over the Czech Republic team.
