■ギメルストブは、ヘンマン他とイタリアンや寿司を食べにいった。

clipped from sportsillustrated.cnn.com Probably the scariest thing I saw on Thursday was two-time defending champion Rafael Nadal practicing. I prayed that my name wouldn't fall next to his on the draw. (It didn't; I open against another Spainard, Nicolas Almagro.) Nadal's just brutal -- he practices like he plays, as if he's a starving lion and the tennis ball is the last piece of meat on the planet. Kendrick just got married a few weeks ago to Liz Proctor, who played college tennis at Wake Forest. He's convinced this should suffice as their honeymoon, but Liz isn't buying it and is angling for a November trip to Sardinia. My bet is she will get what she wants. The past two nights I went to dinner with Henman, his coach, my longtime friend Paul Annacone and his trainer, Joey Debeer. After long days of training, we destroyed an Italian restaurant and a sushi place in two successive evenings.
