Sixteen not-so-sweet predictions for 2006  2006年予想
1. Will Roger Federer win the calendar year Grand Slam?
2. Will Rafael Nadal win a Grand Slam on a surface that isn't clay, and can he really challenge Federer week in and week out?
3. Will Andy Roddick regain his confidence and win another Slam title?
4. Will Andre Agassi finally retire?

5. Will the Argentines take over the Tour?
Unless you are talking about the Tour de France, where using stimulants is apparently par for the course, this South American nation will fall back in tennis in 2006. Collectively, this standout country has had five players test positive for doping in the past few years, and two of its stars, French Open finalist Mariano Puerta and semifinalist Guillermo Canas, were suspended in 2005.
One of its top players, Guillermo Coria, who was once suspended, said, "We Argentines are all suspected. Our effort isn't taken into account. We have to do even more to prove we are great players.?"
Among their better players, only Shanghai titlist David Nalbandian and 2004 French Open winner Gaston Gaudio have managed to stay clean. When much of the world believes your nation is cheating, it isn't easy to stay mentally sound, which is why, as a group, Argentina will cry for itself during '06.
6. What are the futures of Marat Safin and Lleyton Hewitt?
7. Who will be the breakthrough players on the men's side?

....Czech teen Tomas Berdych, French teens Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet and Scottish teen Andy Murray should all end the year in the top 20, .... 
8. Will any other American man become a significant player?
James Blake will.
 



Murray raring to go after demanding pre-season  (テレグラフ)
"I liked Hewitt a lot when I was growing up," Murray said. "He was one of the main guys I watched closely when I was younger. I'm quite different to Hewitt in the way we play, but I think we have much the same attitude in all our matches, a never-say-die attitude. We both never give up. It would be great to play Hewitt in the quarter-finals. I have a lot of respect for the way he plays - he fights every match and has won grand slams."
マレィ: 「子供の頃、ヒューイットがすごく好きだった。」「プレイスタイルは違うけど、試合に対する姿勢は同じだ。絶対にあきらめないという姿勢がね」



Murray works out for an assault on the top 20 ガーディアン
"I never saw my fitness as being a problem but I know what it's like," he said. "As soon as somebody has a slight problem in Britain, everyone is going to say it's a problem for the next five years until you prove that you don't get tired during long matches, and that's just something I'm going to have to do. I worked very, very hard in South Africa and for three weeks before that, and now I feel that when I walk on court I'll know I couldn't really have done much more to prepare."
マレィ、シーズン前の準備は万端、とのこと。

Ask him, for example, why he took up weightlifting in the ninth grade. "Figured it was an easy A," he replied, smiling slyly.

David Nalbandian, the Secret Charmer, Reveals All  ナルバンディアン物語(MC以前)
My game is tactics, a lot of tactics,” he said with a smile and not a little hint of pride. “I know that if I make the other players run, I’m going to keep the chance to win the point every time. If I have to hit a shot, it doesn’t matter where, I know I can make it. So I try all the time to keep moving the other player. That’s why somebody told me that I play tennis like it’s chess because I always hit the right shot at the right time from anywhere.”
So, with Wimbledon a distant memory, where does he think his best chances in a Grand Slam lay? “I hope to win one but it doesn’t matter which one,” he said. “I know I can win all of them so it doesn’t matter which surface. I play good in grass, in clay, hard courts, whatever. I don’t know which one, but I know I’m very close to winning one (グランドスラム).

It was rated the country's greatest sporting achievement and the team - including Beck - was lauded at home for weeks after the final, Hrbaty said.  
デ杯決勝で負けはしたけど、スロバキア国内スポーツ最高の成果をあげた、ということでデ杯チームが表彰された。



Double Fault of 2005: Injuries, Withdrawals
Some things we'd like to see in 2006: Any match between Hewitt and anybody from Argentina, no more references to Andy Roddick's lost mojo, a rematch of this year's French Open semifinal between Nadal and Federer, a match, heck, even a practice session, between Sharapova and Hingis, and Agassi and his wife, Steffi Graf, playing mixed doubles at a Grand Slam. Oh well, we can all dream.
2006年に見たいもの: ヒューイットとアルゼンチンの誰かならどんな試合でも。ロディックの失われたMOJOについてはもう聞きたくない、ナダルvsフェデラー@2005全仏SFの再現、試合または練習でもいいからシャラポワvsヒンギス、アガシとグラフのミックスダブルス@GS。夢見るのは自由。
