Game But Gimpy Guga Comes Up Short Against Robredo by Neil E. Schlecht Thursday, September 1, 2005 On the comeback trail yet again, injury-riddled Gustavo Kuerten, who just can't seem to surmount the recurrent hip problems that have plagued him since 2002, struggled gallantly but came up short against a determined Tommy Robredo of Spain, 5-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-2. 2002 年以來飽受臀傷所苦的 Gustavo Kuerten，復出之路再度受阻，在英勇奮戰後，仍以 5-7 7-6 6-3 6-2 敗給意志堅決的 Tommy Robredo。 His strokes remain as fluid and penetrating as ever, but the Brazilian's lateral movement is still hampered. In his first-round victory over the American Paul Goldstein, Guga -- unable or unwilling to stay in long rallies -- went for broke, blasting his way to 99 winners and 35 aces. 他的抽球一如往昔，順暢犀利，但他卻不能隨心所欲的橫向移動。首輪對上 Paul Goldstein 的勝戰，Guga 不能(或是不願意)和對手多拍來回，所以他主動出擊，造就出 99 個致勝球和 35 個愛司。 He tried a similar tactic against the 19th seed Robredo, especially after calling the trainer between the second and third sets and strapping on a brace to support his ailing back. Though he came out moving gingerly after the injury timeout, Kuerten also began to strike his groundstrokes with even greater urgency, giving his many supporters on a packed Court 11 hope t hat he could continue the match and maybe even squeak out a victory. 他嘗試用同一套對付 19 種子的 Robredo，特別是在第二和第三盤之間，叫進防護員並帶上支撐具支撐他痛楚不堪的背之後，便更加生龍活虎的移動，甚至以一種更義無反顧的決心抽擊每一球，讓他在 11 球場滿場的支持者希望他可以繼續比賽，甚至最終艱苦得勝。 Though Robredo, the claycourt specialist from Barcelona, was frequently placed on the defensive, on big points he was able to extend rallies long enough to force misfires from his opponent. Trading crosscourt shots between two of the prettiest backhands in the game eventually wore down Guga, who registered 52 unforced errors in the match. The Brazilian's first serve also lacked potency; Kuerten connected on just 46 percent of his first serves and notched only nine aces. 然而，來自巴塞隆納的紅土專家 Robredo ，雖然總是被迫採取守勢，但在關鍵分上，總能將戰局逼至多拍的來回，造成他對手的失誤。被本場比賽最漂亮的兩計反手逼得滿場飛奔的 Guga 終於筋疲力盡，最後總共犯下了 52 次非受破性失誤。他的一發也欠缺威力;一發進球率只有 46 %，並只發出 9 計的愛司。 Robredo now moves on to meet Sebastian Grosjean in the third round. Court 11 - MS - 2nd Round Gustavo Kuerten BRA 7 63 3 2 > Tommy Robredo ESP (19) 5 77 6 6 - Kuerten was out of action for seven months after the 2004 US Open, having undergone hip surgery for the second time. - Robredo reached a career high ranking of 12 in 2004. - Guga’s first-round win here was only his third victory on the tour all year. - Kuerten is a three-time Grand Slam champion, all of them coming at the French Open. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.140.118
