Well, from what I've been hearing online here just now, I probably would
have enjoyed watching Korda play too, but I honestly hadn't ever seen
him play before, and he was playing at the same time as Krickstein, who
is one of my favorites, so Aaron won out. :)

Oh, definitely. See my earlier post about the Nation's Bank Classic for
my feelings about Aaron. (even though he lost....)

BTW: after Aaron left the court (after losing) a bunch of girls were
following him to the locker room for autographs. A man at the locker
rooms held the door open for him and said "Good luck, Aaron." Aaron
looked back him and said, between clenched teeth, "I......*lost*....."

I see 2 good possibilities:

1) Davis Cup is counted.
2) He lost a clay court warmup before the French Open. He did not make it to
    the finals of any clay court tournament in the spring, and it would be
    surprising if he did not enter one of them (maybe the Italian Open) to
    tune up for Paris, although McEnroe sometimes did surprising things.

I searched for any tournament in which Fleming/McEnroe made the doubles finals
but McEnroe did not make the singles finals, but there were none. Wilander beat
Jarryd in the Cincinatti final; McEnroe must have been upset early. Sundstrom
finished #7 in the rankings, #10 in prize money.

USTA Adult leagues are intended to provide competition between players of
similar skill levels.  You must be a member of USTA and you must be officially
rated to determine your NTRP skill level.  Winning the local league qualifies
your team for sectional and possibly national competitions.

NTRP skill levels are a visual evaluation of your strokes and your court sense.
It is also dependent on age, tournament records, and previous league records.

Teams with NTRP's less than 5.0 (primarily played by former collegiate players)
consist of 8 players.  A team match is determined by winning the majority of
matches of 2 singles and 3 doubles.  Local league winners are determined by
local league regulations.  Team practices and team shirts are commonplace.

Although the league is intended to be recreational, it can be extremely
ruthless and cutthroat.  This is a big turn-off for some people.  

League play begins in February/March with sectionals occurring during the
summer and national championships (some held in Palm Springs) occurring in
September/October.  Information about your local league should be available in
December when the new ratings are posted.  Check pro shops, clubs, and public
courts for more information.

Good Luck,

I show Eliot Teltscher with 10 titles and 14 other finals in singles,
and 4 titles and 9 finals in doubles. His last singles final was in 1988.
He finished #10 in the rankings in 1980, #8 in 1981, #9 in 1984. In the
year end ATP Masters, he competed at the end of 1981, 1983 and 1984. In 1981,
he lost to Connors 7-5,6-1, beat Roscoe Tanner 4-6,6-1,6-4, and beat
McEnroe 6-4,6-1. He won his group because Connors lost 2 out of 3
tiebreakers to Tanner and lost in straights to Mac. Teltscher then lost
to Gerulaitis in the semis, 7-5,4-6,6-2. Lendl beat Mac and Vitas to
win it.

In 1983, there was no round robin. Andres Gomez beat Teltscher 7-6,6-2 in
the first round. Gomez then lost to his nemesis Lendl, who lost to Mac in
the final. In 1984, Teltscher beat Smid 6-3,6-4 in the first round and
lost to Connors 6-2,6-4 in the quarters. Lendl beat Connors and lost to Mac
in the final.

I think Teltscher played college ball at UCLA, winning the NCAA title
as a sophomore in 1978 after Mac won as a freshman in 1977. I believe
Teltscher had the only win over Mac in 1977 in singles, during the
UCLA-Stanford dual meet.

The #10 seed upsets the #1 seed; I can see why that gets exclamation

in their rivalry, and it gets exclamation points?

Lendl beats McEnroe again. Yawn. Did you expect otherwise?

I was at York University all day Friday and Saturday for all semi-final and
final matches, respectively, and I also found it unusual for the final to
be played on Saturday. 

When I attended the Open last year (it's the women's tournament in Toronto on
odd-numbered years), the semi-finals and finals were played on Saturday and
Sunday, respectively.  

My first guess would be that the matches were moved ahead one day this year to
accommodate CTV's Olympic coverage.

If I remember correctly, that was Mac's third warning.  He

If you really like to use the Prince Premiere strings it may be advisable
not to get the Klippermate. Problems arise because the Premiere frays quite
easily compared to other synthetic strings. The Klippermate uses "short vise
grips" (that's the best way I can describe them) to hold the strings and 
maintain the tension while stringing. Apparently this also allows the grips
to "bite" into the strings more leaving marks and part of the outer coating
peeled off. My friend, who owns a Klippermate and warned me about these
problems, is now looking for another stringing machine that comes with vise
grips that hold onto a longer section of the string. Of course, the better the
model the more expensive it is.

This is not to say the Klippermate is a bad machine; it is a good deal if you
go through strings quite often and like to use more durable strings (such as
Prince Synthetic Gut, etc..).

Actually, both Mr. Coleman and I have pointed this out before.
Quite a few people in rec.sport.tennis have the tendency
to quote a lot of unnecessary lines to make a simple point,
especially when the person being quoted has a fancy "signature"
such as Charles Lin and Anne Dolce. I have no intention to
flame any particular person, but hopefully, everybody will try
to trim the quotes as much as possible without losing the
context. It is just very hard to read articles with more than
several thousand bytes.

Moreover, please take advantage of the "distribution" restriction.
If one is looking for a tennis partner locally, it is not necessary
to broadcast it to the world, unless one is planning to pay for
round-trip airfare and hotel accommodation. :-)

Masur was ranked 53rd so he will probably move into the Top 50.
Korda might drop a few places since he was a finalist here last year.
Lendl will try for his 7th Canadian open title in his 10th final appearance.
Washington avenges his French Open loss to Krickstein, who was playing with
 an injury (as usual).
Agassi avenges his loss to Mansdorf 5 years ago (the two had surprisingly
 not met since then).

In that tie-break the score was 5-5 and Sampras was serving.
Then the Lopez returned the ball via the net cord and down on Sampras' side,
giving Lopez a match point, but Sampras prevailed.

I have heard different reasons why Agassi isn't at the Olympics.
I believe that he declined the invitation. At the time of the
selection, Agassi's ranking was higher than that of Chang and
was #3 among the Americans (Courier #1 and Sampras #2). Agassi
would have been the third player representing the US.
