French Open begins Monday
PARIS. May 24: Gamblers looking for a safe bet at the two-week French Open starting on
Monday next week would be wiser to save their money, reports Reuter.
Frequent upsets this season have often made a mockety of the seedings, turning the art of prediction into a perilous process. And injuries to the likes of Ivan Lendl, Boris Pecker and top Frenchman Guy Forget have clouded the crystal tell even more.
The 12 major ATP tournaments of the year so far have seen eight different winners.
In the 32 events in total— taking tn the lesser world series tournaments —the top seeds have lost In the first round eight times and the second seeds 12 times.
The absence of local favourite Yannick Noah and one-time hero Bjorn Borg, the withdrawal of reigning champion Andres Gomez and an apparent agreement by Andre Agassi to tone down his Jazzy outfits would all seem likely to contribute to a rather colourless two weeks at Roland Garros.
But that too would be an unwise prediction.
The red clay courts of Paris have witnessed many a thrilling battle featuring an unexpected protagonist lifted by the sense of occasion and the Grand Slam atmosphere.
American Michael Changs tortuous five-setter against former world n^nber one Lendl in the fourth round two years ago is a prime example. Chang, at 17. went on to become the youngest men's champion in history.
Last year saw two more teenaged giant-killers, in the shape of Sergi Bruguera and Yugoslavia's Goran Invanisevlc who knocked out top seeds Stefan Edberg and Becker respectively.
On current from. Bruguera could be the man to watch this year. Now 20. he has risen to a career-best ranking of fifth thanks to some excellent results on clay? his favourite surface.
Victory over Becker in the
final of the Monte Carlo Open last month, as well as appearances in the Barcelona Open final and tn the last four of the Italian Open, have given the young Spaniard the perfect run-up to Roland Garros.
Not since 1972 when Andres Gimeno won. has the French Open men's trophy gone to a Spaniard and the nation can also look to Emilio Sanchez. Brugucra's rival both on and off court, who has won two clay court titles in the last six weeks.
Sanchez, who has been on ted terms with Bruguera since a row over Davis Cup places last year, had always done best in doubles until his recent wins in Barcelona and Rome.
While his Italian victory last Sunday owed much to an injury to Argentine opponent Alberto Mancini who was forced to retire In the third set, the cheery Sanchez has a special motivation In Paris — to emulate little sister Arantxa.
Two years ago. Emilio was present to witness Arantxa lift the women's trophy , on the Roland Garros centre court and become the youngest fe-
male winner in the tournament's history with an exciting victory over Graf.
The mantle of youngest champion has since passed to last year's winner. Monica Seles. who will be involved tn a three-way fight for the world's top ranking.
The 17-year-oki Yugoslav is currently number one but el ther Graf or Argentine Gabriela Sabatini would have a chance of knocking her from her perch with victory here.
Sabatini won her first grand Slam title at the US Open last year and though she has never got beyond the semifinals of the French she has hit superb form on clay recently, winning the Italian Open two weeks ago with victory over Seles in the final.
Graf, twice champion at Roland Garros, has not won a Grand Slam event since the 1990 Australian Open.
World number four Martina Navratilova will again miss the French, preferring to concentrate on preparations for defending her Wimbledon title next month.
