I just bought one a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy with it.  It is very light and
plays great (I play mostly a baseline/topspin game).  I had it strung at 60 lbs. and I
get all the power I want from it.  The built in vibration dampening is a nice touch
too.  Plus, it looks cool.

If you buy this raquet, drop me some e-mail on what you think.

   I wonder if there is still a nerve factor with opponents
playing Borg.  I recall that Borg won a first round match
against Jose-Luis Clerc in Monte Carlo in his last
tournament before retiring (1983).   Supposedly, he didn't
have much trouble since Clerc was nervous.  True, he gave
Leconte a difficult time before losing to him, but Clerc
was still pretty good at the time and Borg had taken time
off.   Hopefully, it isn't that, and Borg is playing OK.

   By the way, Bezecny was an NCAA finalist the second year
that Pernfors won the NCAA tournament.

After I started playing with widebody rackets, I noticed that the
average life-time of strings I used was about six weeks, the worst
being four days and the best being twenty weeks - both with Prince
Premiere. Off late, I am planning to buy a stringing machine. I saw
quite a few advertisements in the Tennis magazine. If you have any 
experience (difficulty of handling, time to string a racket, tension
adjustments, quality of stringing in terms of kinks, etc.) with any
of these stringing machines, especially the one by Klippermate (costs 
about $150), please let me know.

Organization: University of Virginia Computer Science Department
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1992 15:01:59 GMT


At the end of 1991, Krickstein had a 21-6 career record in 5 set matches,
the 3rd best of any active player with a significant number of 5 set matches.

Career Singles 5 Set Records
----------------------------
Chang        10-2     (I believe Kulti beat him in 5 since then)
Kriek        18-4     (one of many on the comeback tour)
Krickstein   21-6
Becker       19-8
Svensson     11-5
Wilander     22-11
Lendl        32-17
Gomez        19-10
Chesnokov    10-6
Cash         14-8
McEnroe      23-13
Connors      20-13
Edberg       18-12
Noah         29-19

On the other side of the coin, Rostagno was 1-10 and Agassi 3-7. Andre improved
that at Wimbledon. With Chang losing in 5 at the French Open, and Kriek due
to retire again soon, Krickstein is headed for the top of the active player
list again. Wilander and Connors will officially retire soon; Becker and Lendl
had 5 set losses at Wimbledon and the French, respectively; Edberg to Goran at
Wimbledon; Cash to McEnroe; Noah is retiring. Krickstein and Chang will stand
pretty much alone on the list at the end of this year.

7 times, Krickstein has come from 2 sets down to win the last 3 sets. 5 of
these comebacks were at the US Open.

1)  1983 US Open, 3rd round: def. Gerulaitis 3-6,3-6,6-4,6-3,6-4
2)  1984 US Open, 1st round: def. Bruce Manson 3-6,2-6,7-6,6-2,4-0 (ret.)
3)  1986 US Open, 1st round: def. Novacek 5-7,4-6,7-6,6-1,6-3
4)  1986 US Open, 2nd round: def. Paul Annacone 4-6,4-6,6-3,6-4,7-6
5)  1988 Key Biscayne, 3rd round: def. Andre Agassi 4-6,4-6,6-3,7-5,1-0 (ret.)
6)  1989 Key Biscayne, 1st round: def. Luiz Mattar 4-6,3-6,7-6,6-0,7-6
7)  1989 US Open. 3rd round: def. Alexander Volkov 3-6,3-6,6-4,6-2,6-3

Krickstein was the youngest player ever to win an ATP title, at the age of
16 years and 2 months, when he won at Tel Aviv on October 16, 1983. Was
ranked #6 on the computer in February of 1990.  Pulled off many upsets in
1990, including a career first win over Lendl at the Queensland Open at
Brisbane; also beat Chang there before losing to Edberg in the final. In
1989, won 17 matches after losing the first set, best on the tour. In 1991
he beat Michael Stich, Jakob Hlasek and Goran Ivanisevic before losing in
the semis of the Stockholm Open. Beat Mark Woodforde, Wayne Ferreira and
Andrei Chesnokov at the 1991 Brisbane Queensland Open. Early in the year,
beat Simon Youl, Amos Mansdorf, and Patrick Kuhnen, all in straight sets,
to make the round of 16 at the Australian Open, where he fell to old
nemesis Lendl.

That's all I have time for now; all courtesy of the ATP Player Guide.

Ivan Lendl defeated Wally Masur 6-1, 6-2.  Lendl had 30 winners versus 9
unforced errors.  Masur had 13 winners versus 16 unforced errors. Masur
was accurately described as someone who hits every shot well, but has no
great shot he can go to for a lot of winners. Like Brad Gilbert, but not
quite as good, judging by rankings.  I was surprised when seeing the
highlights of Korda-Masur, and seeing the whole Lendl-Masur match on TV
today, that Masur was so strong on the baseline. I always figure the
Australian serve and volley types are mediocre on the baseline unless I
see otherwise. He was very solid, but not spectacular.

The Prime sports network is carrying the tournament.  They will have the
Agassi-Washington semi tonight.  Some stations, like Home Team Sports
in Washington, D.C. and nearby, will show it tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. on
tape delay, so they can show baseball tonight.  They are committed to
showing every last agaonizing, painful loss by the Baltimore Orioles
this year.

The final is at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. No Sunday final, unlike most
tournaments.

According to the Great "Oregonian" which is just a glorified fish

opponent is Ramesh Krishnan of India.

I am kinda surprised that Ramesh made it to the draw itself, and
was wondering if any among you have more to add to this tidbit.

   Speaking of coaches, how many women coaches of current players
are there?   Billie Jean King did coach Martina a little, and
Hana Mandlikova coaches Novotna.  Actually, there are one or two
male players that have women as coaches.  I think Chesnokov is
one of them.  Any others?

   And, speaking of Jose Higueras, USA Network used to show a
scene of Jose Higueras bouncing his racquet.  He could get that
thing to bounce nearly his height.  I think I saw McEnroe do
the same recently.

Make that 9 out of the last 10 for Lendl, and Mac is cooling off a bit.

Has anyone besides me noticed the rather subtle compliment paid to Lendl
over the last couple of years by tennis fans and commentators? When Mac
(or the much older Connors) can make it to the quarters or semis of a
grand slam event, you can't hear about anything else when you turn on the
TV every day.  The people on the weather channel are probably yelling
about it. When Lendl makes it to the semis at the US Open last year and
loses to Edberg, you just hear "Yeah, Lendl is having a tough time trying
to win another title. These younger players are too much for him."

You would think that Mac is as old as Connors, in a different tennis
generation than Lendl. Mac is only 13 months older than Lendl. I think
it is a testimony to Lendl that people don't consider it newsworthy
when he just makes the semis of a major.

       Anybody knows what happened to Elliott Telstcher?
       Hope I have his name spelled right.  He used to be
       McEnroe's arch competitor during their college days.
       He's also the one who had this strange stance when
       receiving a serve.

       Do you think he has gone the Bill Scanlon way, i.e.
       enjoy the country club resident coach life?  At one
       time, his mentor Glenn Bassett (UCLA) described him
       as one of the fiercest competitors in the game.

       Just curious, I might say.

Exactly right.  Television revenue dictates scheduling, once again.
