Hewitt puts in the hard yards Leo Schlink 11dec04 LLEYTON Hewitt has embarked on the most comprehensive pre-season preparation of his career ahead of his centenary Australian Open tilt. The world No. 3 has spent the past four days in Sydney, where he has worked with coach Roger Rasheed to build peak fitness for the Australian summer circuit. Packing six more kilograms on his slender frame, Hewitt has laid the fitness foundation for the Next Generation Hardcourts (January 3-9), the Sydney International (January 9-15) and the Australian Open (January 17-30). He has swum, surf-skied and ran on Dee Why beach, interval-trained at an athletics track and spent sapping sessions in the gym during a private tennis camp after three-hour morning-practice sessions at White City. "The training has been exceptional," Hewitt said. "We've really enjoyed it and we've worked really hard." Australian Davis Cup coach Wally Masur and highly rated New South Wales junior Stephen Goh joined Hewitt and Rasheed. Rasheed, a former top-150 player and SANFL footballer, chose Sydney to vary Hewitt's training environment. "We just wanted to break up the monotony a bit by coming up to Sydney," Rasheed said. "The week has revolved around hitting tennis balls for three hours in the morning and then it's been a combination of other activities in the afternoon. "We've done a lot of surf lifesaving activities, such as swimming, long distance and sprint work on the beach and surf skiing. "There's been football training. We've been on the athletic track and we've been doing different things. "Our tennis training and fitness work has been at the extreme end. We've taken it to the extreme limits. "We've gone for a complete mixture of different sports to get stronger and fitter. "Every year, Lleyton's aim is to get fitter and fitter. "We believe that by performing all these different activities outside of tennis that Lleyton will continue to develop athletically." Hewitt rose from No. 19 to third in the world rankings after an outstanding season highlighted by four victories, and appearances in the US Open and Masters Cup finals. The South Australian finished the year with a 68-18 record and more than $3.6 million in prizemoney. Hewitt has gained 6kg in 18 months under Rasheed's direction, providing the South Australian with more power. Hewitt and Rasheed used the latter stages of last season to train for the Davis Cup final, and the Sydney camp was a miniature of that. "Lleyton's had only two weeks off since the Masters Cup in Houston," Rasheed said. "But we balance his training needs and his playing schedule with small breaks. His aim is to be fitter than he's ever been by the time the Australian Open starts." Hewitt's launched his career with victory at Memorial Drive in 1998. He will return to the tournament next month for the first time in three seasons. -- 以下是新浪綜合上面練習這篇還有交新女友的文章澳洲野兔生活依舊生機昂然新女友鎖定知名女藝人 http://sports.sina.com.cn 2004年12月12日02:52 東方體育日報　　有“野兔”之稱的休伊特在生活中就像在場上一樣充滿生機，短短兩月他就已經從 “休克”中恢復。與克裏斯特爾斯取消婚約後，休伊特找到了新女友，澳大利亞知名肥皂劇演員裏貝卡‧卡特賴特。　　在維京航空老闆布蘭森組織的一次宴會上，休伊特和卡特賴特一同出席。兩人毫不避諱周圍人的捕風捉影，始終在一起開心地談笑，宴會結束後，他們甚至配合地讓各路記者拍攝合影。借這次露面，兩人含蓄地公開了關係，此前關於兩人的流言終於得到了證實。　　卡特賴特在電視圈中出名多年，在一次電視舞蹈大賽中獲得冠軍後讓她的人氣急劇上升，而那也讓卡特賴特和她的舞伴傳了一陣緋聞。　　休伊特與卡特賴特早在1999年就在一次慈善活動中相識，那時距離克裏斯特爾斯為妹妹向休伊特要簽名還有一周。休伊特和克裏斯特爾斯很快因為那一張紙片而結緣，卻在婚期到來前不久分離，沒想到休伊特卻在與另一人的碰面中發掘出了感情的線索。　　5年中，休伊特與卡特賴特並無特殊交往，身為娛體名流，兩人自然不乏接觸的機會，但僅是點頭之交而已。不過在離開克裏斯特爾斯後，休伊特卻發現了卡特賴特。據卡特賴特的朋友透露，休伊特在兩周前輾轉找到他們，希望能獲得卡特賴特的電話號碼。沒有人知道休伊特在給卡特賴特的電話中用了什麼花言巧語，現實情況是，上周兩人在阿德萊德約會，此後休伊特用他價值42萬澳元的法拉利將卡特賴特載到了悉尼。　　卡特賴特幾周前也剛剛結束了一段4年的戀情，上周她正式發表聲明，將與演員布蘭迪的關係由“羅曼蒂克”降格為“牢固的友誼”。同樣告別一段為時長久的感情，卡特賴特和休伊特也許能找到更多的共同語言。　　休伊特相當享受新戀情，從最功利的角度看，至少他能以良好的心態投入到澳網的準備中去。目前，他正在前橄欖球明星拉希德的指點下在悉尼進行身體訓練。每天下午，休伊特要猛練3個小時，游泳、衝浪、橄欖球、器械練習讓他苦樂參半。“訓練很有趣，可也的確累人。”休伊特說。訓練的效果相當明顯，休伊特的體重已經增加了6公斤，瘦削的身板頗有了點改善。此外，每天上午休伊特還要進行3小時的網球練習，他的訓練搭檔是澳大利亞出戰大衛斯杯的教練馬蘇爾和新南威爾士州的年輕球員高。　　耶誕節過後，網球賽季即將在澳大利亞開始，現世界排名第三的休伊特希望自己能在本土有個良好的開始。“我在身體和心理上都做好了準備。”休伊特說。2004對他是不錯的一年，他從世界排名第19慢慢攀回了頂峰。而投入新感情的2005年也許會有新的希望。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.142.1.212
