Die Saison beginnt für Magnus Norman, wie sie zu Ende ging, mit einer Absage. Der schwedische Tennisprofi muss wegen seiner langwierigen Hüftverletzung bereits frühzeitig die Teilnahme an den Australian Open absagen.

Dieselbe Verletzung hatte den 25-jährigen Schweden bereits zur Absage in Wimbledon, den US Open sowie dem Daviscup-Halbfinale gezwungen. Die Australian Open, das erste Grand-Slam-Turnier des Jahres, beginnen am 14. Januar.

"Ich mache zwar Fortschritte, konnte bereits wieder mit Jogging anfangen, aber an eine Teilnahme in Melbourne ist derzeit noch nicht zu denken", erklärte Norman, der sein Comeback nach fast achtmonatiger Verletzungspause für den 11. Februar in Chile plant.

Der Profi aus Filipstad, der im Vorjahr kurzfristig die Nummer eins im ATP Champions Race war, gewann im Jahr 2000 fünf Turniere, stand zudem bei den French Open im Finale und bei den Australian Open im Halbfinale.

Here is the translation:<br />The season begins Norman for Magnus, how she/it went to end, with a cancellation. The Swedish tennis-pro must already cancel the participation because of his/its lengthy hip-injury at the Australian Open early. <br />The same injury already had the 25-jährigen Sweden to the cancellation in Wimbledon, that forced U.S. Open as well as the Daviscup-Halbfinale. The Australian Open, that first Grand-Slam-Turnier of the year, begins at the 14. January. <br /> <br />I do advances in fact, could already start with Jogging again, but at a participation in Melbourne, not yet to think at present, is, Norman explained, that his/its comeback after almost eight-month-y injury-pause for the 11. February in Chile plans. <br /> <br />The pro from Filipstad, that was the number in the previous year one in the ATP champions Race for a short time, won 2000 five tournaments in the year, Open stood with the French in the finale and with the Australians Open in the semifinal moreover.
