Lad os få diskussionen i gang om dagens kampe i New York.
Dagens store samtaleemne bliver garanteret Henman-Kiefer-kampen. Kiefer er sat som favorit, og Henman er da også rygskadet. Han har dog spillet sig gennem turneringen til nu på trods af skaden. Han har dog været ude i 4 og 5 sets mod lavere rangerede spillere som Tabara og Golmard.
Stopper Kiefer ham nu, eller laver en Henman en "Tyler Hamilton"?
Lørdag efter kampen mod Tabara udtalte Henman følgende om sin skade:
Q. How did the body and the back hold up?
TIM HENMAN: It was okay. I think, again, playing at night, I definitely felt a little bit -- perhaps a little bit tighter than I did against Golmard. But my biggest problem at the end was when I felt when I was running around, you know, it wasn't too bad. When I sat down for the change of ends, that was when...
Q. I saw you at the last changeover.
TIM HENMAN: Yeah, I just sort of felt like -- and in the fifth, I got off to a great start, played two really good games to get up 2-Love. And then, you know, always serving after the change of ends, I felt that I was sort of stiff for the first two points. And I was down, you know, Love-15 and Love-30 on a number of occasions. I sort of decided then after - when was it - the 3-4 change of ends, that if I just sort of walked around, I didn't feel tired physically, so I didn't need to sort of save my legs, but then I just felt like I wouldn't be, you know, stiffening up so much for that first point, which is often so important.
