[新聞]Injured Safin to miss Masters Cup in Shanghai

ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - Australian Open champion Marat Safin has
not fully recovered from a knee injury and will miss next month's
Masters Cup in Shanghai.
Russian tennis chief Shamil Tarpishchev, who is also the country's
Davis Cup captain, said on Saturday that Safin would rest for the
remainder of the year in order to be fit for next season.
"This is the best thing for him to do, not to play," Tarpishchev
told Reuters.
"He must first get 100 percent healthy before stepping on the court
again. The most important thing is to prepare well for the Australian
Open, where he must defend his title."
The world number five has been troubled by a ligament tear in his
left knee since Wimbledon which also forced him to withdraw from
the U.S. Open.
He has not played since losing in the quarter-finals of the
Cincinnati Masters Series to American Robby Ginepri in August.
The Australian Open begins on Jan. 16.
Safin's participation in the Hopman Cup, to be played in Australia
from Dec. 30 to Jan. 6., is also in doubt.
He is due to partner Svetlana Kuznetsova for Russia in the annual
mixed team event.
