Shun, you KNOW that Edberg's long-time coach is British Tony Pickard,
NOT Tony Roche.  Tony Roche is Australian and is Lendl's coach.
Yes, I think it must have been a tough situation for Pickard to 
coach again Edberg.  These two apparently have an almost father-and-

Okay, here we go again: the results of Tuesday afternoon, evening and night:

  Krajicek   -  Chang   2:6, 6:3, 7:6(?)
  Ivanisevic -  Courier 6:3, 6:3
  Sampras    -  Korda   3:6, 6:3, 6:3


I couldn't watch the first match, but I heard afterwrds that Krajicek slipped
and fell badly onto his knee (the slow-motion looked awful !) and almost
gave up.
But after a little ice-cure he recovered and played very well - too good for
Chang, and that's hard enough.

I'll describe the other two matches later on, and will leave out the results
in the Subject (okay, okay!) :-)  Sorry, but I hadn't taken part in the
discussion you had about this topic  a few months ago. So how could I know?

Boris Becker seems to have move up 2 spots from 7th to 5th. As for Courier, he
is probably still #1 since Edberg didn't play too well.

What's you problem here? :-)  I thought I should stop going to pro
tennis matches. At the US Open, I watched Sabatini, and she was upset;
I watched Graf and Graf was upset too. I went to the VS Championship
for one day and both seeds lost. Boy, I can hear flames from Gaby,
Steffi, and Mary Joe fans coming. :-)

Actually this was a pretty interesting match. It was fairly even
in the first set. When Capriati was serving at 4-4, Sukova has two
break points. In the first one, she had an opportunity to volley
into a wide open court, but she played it safe and put her volley
in the middle of the court. Capriati reached the ball and hit a nice
passing shot to save the break. MSG commentator Virginia Wade immediately
pointed out that could become the turning point of the match because
Sukova would have been serving for the first set, and it probably was.
Sukova also missed an easy forehand shot in the tie break and looked
discouraged in the second set. It is just interesting how a point
or two can set the tone for the rest of the match.

>The Sanchez Vicario vs. Garrison match wasn't broadcast on TV.

Perhaps Arantxa has a reason to be unhappy here. Her match was scheduled
to start at 5:30pm when the stadium was still pretty empty, while prime-time
slots with TV coverage were reserved for Capriati and Sabatini. But I guess
that is what most tennis fans want and it makes business sense.

It didn't surprise me that Stefan lost, but the big margin does raise
my eyebrow.  Could it be that Stefan *tanked* so that he wouldn't
have to face Ivanisevic, thereby letting Becker handle Goran instead?
>German fans for some explanation?
Yes, I can hardly wait for Cordula's blow-by-blow report.  Please.
Offhand, I would say the German crowd might have been a factor.  
But, as an Edberg fan, I will have to say that I am rather concerned.
It doesn't bode well for Stefan to have lost to Forget in Paris
the way he did, and to lose so badly to Becker in Frankfurt a week later.
>The Courier/Chang was on ESPN today in the US.
If you are an Edberg fan and taped today's broadcast, don't lose heart.
There were a couple of Adidas commercials in there at the beginning
which featured him.  Something he said in the commercial was kind
of unsettling, especially in view of his loss today: "Someday you are
going to feel like you should have stayed in bed instead.  It's hard
to go out and work hard everyday.  I've been on this tour for almost
nine years now ... The important thing is to go out and play good
tennis, because that is my job."  Well, he didn't do his job today.
Could it be that Edberg's actually getting burned out? :((

How about you Liu ?  Have you ever had any difficulty with lefties ?
I've been always having hard times in playing against lefties in all
kinds of racquet sports.

I believe lefties have some advantages generally. If lefty and righty
play against each other, both have deadly angle, for example, in serving
toward the oponent's backhand side in both deuce and ad court.
Right handers, however, simply have less practice against lefties
because most players are right handed. 

I would guess lefties might have poor stats against lefties.

The reason my postings seem be take days may be because my feed site
is having problems. I use a commercial service (read: I pay for my

one fine morning. Hopefully situation will improve. If not, I may just

Sorry, didn't see this one entirely, so I have to repeat what they told on 
SAT1 afterwards.

First set: RK playing with much self-confidence and gets an early break.
Suddenly he lost his rhythm and JC broke back to 5:5.
RK recovered in the tie-break and hit 2 aces. Won the first set.

JC had some difficulties in winning his first service to 1:1. Both players
were very equal, hence tiebreak.

Was is a questions of power or of nerves, I don't know, but JC played far
more constant, had a break in the last game. The matchpoint was a df by RK.

This doesn't apply to the case where a legal hit is made with the racquet and
then the ball touches the other player before making it to the front wall.  In
this case, it's a hinder, and the point is replayed.  Of course, this supposes
that the ball had a chance of making it to the front wall, and that the other
player wasn't intentionally blocking the ball.

If this weren't the case, then you could win a lot of points simply by wacking
your opponent with the ball.

	The main theme of this paper is I am curious of whether the tennis

and what makes the players want to quit?

Does anyone can improvise me what other books are helpful for this topic, or

Chang - Courier

================================================

* In the first group, the ranks #1 and #4 are fixed. Whether Becker or Edberg
  will make it to the semi-final depends on today's top match (8 p.m. GMT).

* In the second group, each player can reach the semi-final. But if Chang wins
  against Courier, he needs the help of Goran I. I'm not sure if it possible 
  that Ivanisevic won't reach the semi-final, but I don't think so. Even if
  he loses 0-2 to Krajicek, he still has 2-1 points and 4-3 sets. So, the best
  Courier can do in this situation is to win 2-0 against Chang. Then he also
  has 2-1 points and 4-3 sets. In this case, Krajicek will be #1 (2-1 points
  and 5-3 sets) and Ivanisevic #2 because he won against Courier. Or will, if
  this should happen, the single points of the matches will be counted first???
