Arantxa Sanchez Vicario defeated Monica Seles 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in the
final of the Canadian Open.  This put an end to a 10-match losing
streak against Seles.  Sanchez earned $110,000 for the win.

Some highlights of the match:  In the 3rd and final set, Vicario took
a 3-0 lead, before Seles came back to win four straight games, and
take a 4-3 lead.  Vicario went on to break Seles in the last 2 out
of 3 games, and in the final game although down 0-30, she won the 
last 4 points straight to win the match !!

If my recollection is right, Lendl was making news about the time Borg was
ready to go out.  I guess around late 70's.  I remember an epic 5-1/2 hour
match between Borg and McEnroe at Wimbledon in 1977.  If I am not mistaken the
two played about 40 points in the 5th set tie-breaker.  Finally Borg won.

   I think the recollection of this match is incorrect.  McEnroe
did make his debut in this Wimbledon as a qualifier who made
it all the way to the semifinals against Connors losing in
four sets.   McEnroe made his big breakthrough in the 1979
US Open winning his first title against Vitas Gerulaitis.
The five setter that most people associate with McEnroe
and Borg was in the 1980 Wimbledon finals.  McEnroe won the
tiebreak in the fourth set by the score of 18-16.  Borg
lost the last point in that tiebreak by failing to make
a drop volley clear the net.  Borg went on to win the
fifth set 8-6, and his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title.

   Lendl started sometime around 1978, and one of his first
major showdown with Borg occurred in 1981 when he went five
sets with Borg in the French Open finals eventually
losing.  So, the overlap was about two to three years.
Around that time, Borg had felt that Lendl would be one
of the up and coming best players, and people were already
touting him as the next "Borg", though he played nothing
like Borg, and ushered in the era of power hitters that
have since included Becker, Agassi, Sampras, Arias, Krickstein,
Courier, and so forth.

  I would guess that Borg leads against Lendl, though Lendl
did beat Borg on a few big occasions.  However, Borg was
more or less at his prime, and Lendl didn't start to play
really well until 1982, and then until the 1986 or so.

I read a short article in USA Today last week that reported that
an electronic line-calling system was being tested at the US Open.
Four courts, the Stadum, Grandstand and two outside courts have been
wired and the balls were metalicised somehow (It looks as though
they have more printing than usual, maybe metalic ink?).

The system is hooked to a PC and they "promised" that they would not use
it to chack on the linescritters.  I have heard nothing about it on the USA 
CBS coverage.

Anyone know how it works??

Regarding stiff racquets in general.  I tried to move to a new racquet 
(ProStaff 4.0 hammer, etc.) from my present Midsize kevlar (which I think has
an index of 6.5 or so) and it was painfull at best.  I did not have any wrist
troubles, rather my elbow and the muscles below it.  I spoke to my pro, and
he said that he too could not use that particular racquet.  He did say that
a lower string tension sometimes helps, but that the overall stiffness was
responsible for most of the problems.

Yes, no a doubt there is something wrong with the points. There is no
way that Korda's other 14 results are *all* better than his title at
Volvo. Lendl played poorly all year till lately and this one has to be
one of his best 14. By the way, the seeding at Hamlet may have confirmed
that since Lendl is seeded 3rd and Korda seeded 4th.

Hope conners is gone from US open soon. I am already sick of this
glowing reports of connors beating a lowly ranked injured player.
Soon we will be seeing abuse of umpires saying " I am busting my ass
here and you are calling that ball out " and some such ridiculous

I would like to see real tennis, not tennis based on how the lines
man should call a game based on age of the player.

	I think that the above statement is of little truth...  Jimmy Connors
maybe getting up there in age, but he can come up with some really remarkable
tennis when he gets the crowd behind him and at the U.S. Open there is that
much more crowd behind him...  I am sadden that you think that the sport of
tennis is no more than that of a WWF wrestling match where the matches are
"setup" and the good guy with more popularity is going to win just because of
who he is...  Of late, Connors hasn't been 100% out on the court due to his
ageing body, but somehow he can focus the energy of the crowd into some great
tennis play and I find that really exciting!!!  I wish that I knew the secret
that he has in turning a losing battle into a winning match for him...  It's
great!!!  When you watch a Connors match, it's unlike many of the matches that
you'll see at the Open...  It's almost like a sideshow...  Connors likes to get
the fans into the match...  Tennis is not really a spectators sport, but it is
a little bit more exciting watching a match where the crowd can react to a
point and then get a reaction from the player...  I hope that the point I'm
trying to get across is clear...  He 40 now, and he's not going to be out there
much longer!!! (Maybe on the Seniors Tour...)  I wish I could muster that good
of tennis play when I'm 40...  Good Luck Jimmy!!!

Hallo Cordula,

es gibt einen Artikel im Tennis Magazin ueber Pete Sampras mit Informationen zu seiner Karriere als Jugendlicher mit dem Uebergang ins Herrentennis. Soweit ich mich erinnere ist sein ehemaliger Coach der Autor bzw. wichtige Informationsquelle. Der Artikel muesste in den letzten 12 Monaten erschienen sein. Der Axel Springer Verlag muesste in der Lage sein die exakte Referenz zu geben.
Hattest Du als Gelegenheit die Regionalligaspiele der Herren bei Schwarz-Weiss Bonn (Venusberg) zu besuchen. Wenn nicht, hast Du wirklich etwas verpasst. Weltranglistenspieler und junge Talente live. Dabei erlebt man die Geschwindigkeiten im Spiel wesentlich besser und auch die psychologisch interessanten Kleinigkeiten in einem Wettkampf bekommt man mit.
Pete Sampras hat meiner Meinung nach vor allem ein sehr gutes Auge und auch daher schnelle Reaktionen. Er ist extrem athletisch fuer sein Koerpergewicht und seine Konstitution. Seine Rueckhand ist vielleicht der relativ schwaechste Punkt in seinem Spiel und deshalb spielt er besser auf schnellen Bodenbelaegen auf denen nicht staendig lange Ballwechsel dem Gegner Zeit geben einen geplanten Angriff auszufuehren. Auch ich finde ihn sehr sympathisch da er eher bescheiden ist obwohl er das nicht zu sein braeuch


te. Manchmal wirkt er etwas introvertiert dabei und die brennende Kampfeslust merkt man ihm nicht so an wie vielen anderen. Vielleicht finden ihn deshalb einige langweilig. Ich finde ihn gerade deswegen interessant, da er schwieriger zu lesen ist fuer seinen Gegner.

Sorry to our english speaking networkers. 

                                              Achim---
