第二屆亞洲區Hopman Cup
剛看到新聞,第二屆的亞洲區Hopman Cup將會在泰國曼谷舉行。
與去年的比賽模式一樣,六隊將分成兩組進行循環賽,
兩組的第一名將會晉級決賽,最後奪冠球隊將取得2008年Hopman Cup參賽資格。
這次參賽的六隊包括日本、韓國、大陸、台灣、泰國和烏茲別克。
衛冕冠軍印度由於直接獲賽會邀請參賽,因此不會前來衛冕。
據報道指泰國領隊有意邀請Udomchoke與Tanasugarn領軍,
至於日本則會派新秀森田步美與錦織圭出戰。
確實球員參賽名單將會在九月底公佈。
City to host Asian Hopman Cup
[TENNIS] The second edition of the Asian Hopman Cup will be held in Bangkok
in November as six nations will battle it out for a spot in the prestigious
world mixed team event in Perth.Published on July 26, 2007
The Asian version of the Hopman Cup, which was first introduced last year in
Hyderabad, will take place at the LTAT National Tennis Centre from November 8
-11 and will feature six teams from Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan,
Uzbekistan and hosts Thailand.
The six participating countries will be divided into two pools and will
compete in a round-robin format. The top team from each group will enter the
knock-out stage with the winner being awarded a ticket into the Hopman Cup in
December.
Last year India represented by Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna won the
inaugural edition, making their trip to Perth before finishing second in a
pool. India will not come to defend their title this year as their impressive
performance in Perth last year earned them an invitation to the eight-nation
tournament due on December 30.
Asian Hopman Cup tournament director Daniel Chambon said there had been
attempts to invite Danai Udomchoke and Tamarine Tanasugarn to carry the Thai
flag in the Cup.
Tamarine and Paradorn Srichaphan caused a sensation all over the country when
they fought from the qualifying round to reach the final of the 2000 Hopman
Cup before losing to eventual champions South Africa.
"I've been talking to Danai and Tammy and will get the answers during the US
Open. By the end of September I will have the line-ups from each country and
we will make an announcement to the public again,'' said Chambon from France.
Also in his list are Japan's women's singles national champion Ayumi Morita
and rising star Kei Nishikori, the hitting partner of Roger Federer at
Wimbledon.
However, Paradorn is not expected to recover in time and play for Thailand as
he is still nursing a wrist injury.
