Hewitt pulls out
By ROBERT GRANT 14 apr 06
AUSTRALIAN No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt has pulled out of next week's Monte Carlo
Masters tennis tournament to avoid peaking too early before next month's
French Open.
Hewitt told the ATP Tennis Tour that he would not be playing in the event
but his camp has denied he has any injury concern.
The tournament is the first claycourt event in the Masters series and is
regarded as an important lead-up to the French Open at the end of May.
But his manager, Rob Aivatoglou says Hewitt is simply trying to manage his
build-up to the majors.
"There's nothing sinister in it," Aivatoglou said.
"There are tournaments on every week. If he plays every one available he'd
burn out.
"What he is trying to do is to give himself the best opportunity of peaking
for the important events.
"There is the French Open coming up in May and Wimbledon in June and July and
hopefully he will play his best tennis when he's at those events," he said.
"Lleyton has played seven or eight events this year and I think Roger Federer
has played five and Andy Roddick about six so they're not playing every week."
Aivatoglou says Hewitt is training at home this week, but would not say whether
he is based in Adelaide, Sydney or Melbourne.
His next tournament appearance is also a closely guarded secret.
"We're working through that," Aivatoglou said.
After helping steer Australia into the semi-finals of the Davis Cup last week,
Hewitt says he is focused on claycourt success this year and has his sights on
winning the grand slam title at Roland Garros.
