ミラノのNext Gen ATP Finals,グループAではヒョン選手の準決勝進出が
決まりました。こちらのグループは次戦のシャポバロフvsルブレフ戦の勝者が
勝ち上がりとシンプルです。一方,グループBは混戦模様で,最終戦の結果では,
チョリッチ選手,カチャノフ選手,メドヴェデフ選手が2勝1敗で並ぶ可能性が
あります。ただし,メドヴェデフvsドナルドソン戦が先に行われるので,
この試合の結果次第ではその時点でチョリッチ選手の準決勝進出が決まる可能性が
あります。ということで,本日はヒョンvsクインツィ戦のみ消化試合状態です。
3時半開始の試合を見るために,もう寝ますわ。
ロンドンのATP Tour Finals,昨日はダブルスとシングルスの試合開始時間を
勘違いしていました。シングルスは,日曜日から午後11時・午前5時の2試合体制が
6日間続きます。TOEIC L&R公開試験の前日はこれに加えて,
11月の公開試験は,ほぼ受けるだけ状態になりそうですわ。
