Roche to coach Lleyton Hewitt November 26, 2010 - 6:19PM Lleyton Hewitt will join forces for the second time in his career with coach Tony Roche in an effort to lift his flagging world ranking. The two-time grand slam-winner is training after an injury layoff and announced Friday he will re-unite with Roche in 2011. Roche previously coached Hewitt between July 2007 and August 2009 and was last month re-appointed Australian Davis Cup coach under new captain Pat Rafter. Hewitt said he would have Roche as his main coach but would work also with former player Josh Eagle. "I'm really looking forward to working with both guys and feel that if I can keep the body performing then I can climb back up the ranks again," said Hewitt, who has slid to No.55 in the rankings. "I have been discussing this with Rochey for a few months now prior to him accepting the job as Australian Davis Cup coach, and when he asked me about taking that role with Pat, I thought that would work in well with what we were planning for myself." Hewitt為拯救自己日漸下滑的的排名，決定於2011年，與舊教練Tony Roche再度合作， 他在因傷退出整個賽季後，目前也已回到球場上訓練。 Roche上回擔任Hewitt的教練，分別是在2007年7月和2009年8月，他上個月被任命為台 維斯團隊的教練，接受隊長Pat Rafter的領導。 Hewitt表示，會以Roche的指導意見為主，但也會跟前教練Josh Eagle合作。 "我非常期待與兩位教練合作，如果一切運作順利，那我的排名就能再度回升。" 現在Hewitt排名下滑到世界第55位。 "過去幾個月，我一直和Rochy討論這件事，他已經先接下台維斯盃的教練一職，他那時 還問我和Pat合作該扮演的角色，我認為我們的計畫會進展地不錯。" Roche said Hewitt was still a "feared player" despite his slide down the rankings and eight years since his last grand slam title win. "He is constantly working on his game to improve, which is always a good sign that his focus and desire is still there," Roche said. "He is a hard worker on and off the court, and Josh and I believe he can return to the top with some good results." Hewitt is back on court hitting and building towards the Australian summer after a hand injury forced him off the tour in September. "If the past week is any indication, the body is feeling good, the mind is fresh and by January I will be ready to go for my 15th year on the Tour," Hewitt said. Roche覺得Hewitt仍是ATP裡令人敬畏的選手，儘管他的排名下滑，距離上次贏得大滿貫 也有八年的時間未再創巔峰。 Roche說，"他持續地加強自己的球技，這表示他的集中力和對勝利的渴望未曾離開球場。 無論在球場內或球場外，Hewitt都非常努力，他的教練Josh和我都認為，他有能力贏得 比賽，再度回到頂尖球員的行列。" 自從Hewitt在9月份因傷退出整個賽季，他目前已回到球場打球，為澳洲夏季的賽事備戰。 "開始訓練的幾個禮拜，我的身體狀況感覺不錯，心情很舒暢，而且等到明年一月，就是 我參加ATP巡迴賽的第15週年了~。" Hewitt說。 http://tinyurl.com/2cqr9qt --
