Forget fulfils a long promise
MASON. Aug 12: It took Guy Forget nine years to earn a return match on the stadium court at the
ATP Championship. But. oh. he did it in style, reports AP.
As a promising teen-ager from France, he lost to John McEnroe in 1982. Forget didn’t speak enough English to fully understand as McEnroe harangued a linesman, but the incident is fresh in his mind.
"It was my first pro tournament where I really did well." Forget said.
"I beat Roscoe Tanner, who was 11 th in the world at the Hme. Evety match was a surprise. I was in the quarterfinals. playing McEnroe in the center court, and I was so excited Just to be thert."
In his triumphant return Sunday. Forget beat US Open champion Pete Sampras 2 6. 7-6 (7-4). 6-4 for the most prestigious title of his career
To win on that same court is a very special moment." Forget said, "to be on that court and win a tournament, where before to play Just one match was the biggest Joy of all”
The victory was a breakthrough for his countrymen No French player had ever beaten an American in the final of a men's tournament tn the United States. Not since Yannick Noah beat Argentinian Guillermo Vilas at the WCT Tournament of Champions at Forest Hills In 1986 had a Frenchman won any tournament in the US.
With dlr* 2.5 million In career earnings. Forget has made a comfortable living playing tennis. But until the past few month*, he never realized the expectations placed on him a decade ago.
The dirs 170.200 ATP check wa* the biggest of his career for the 26-year-old. who has played on the French Davis Cup and Olympic learns, but until this year never
cracked the top 10 rankings.
The hard thing is Just to go into a tournament thinking. Tm going to go through hell this week, it s going to be 100 degrees and I'm going to have to fight five guys and play a lot of 7-6 games." Forget said.
In the past. I was not ready' to go through that fighting every day. and my level of tennis would drop dramatically. Now 1 am more relaxed and more confident and I can keep up iny lyvel of play longer than I usea lo."
Forget s forte has been doubles, winning 22 tourna ments. Until Sunday, he had won Just five singles titles, including Sydney, Australia, and Brussels. Belgium, this year.
One win. at Toulouse. France. In 1986. continued a periodic family tradition Forgets father Paul won the same tournament In 1966. and hts grandfather Pierre won ft
tn 1946.
Forget said he played so well at the ATP. including a win over top-ranked Boris Becker in the semifinals, because he didn't expect to win.
"I Just came back from holiday. I was going to take the tournament as a preparation for the US Open." Forget said. Every match 1 won was like a bonus. I didn't have any pressure on myself."
Sampras won two service breaks in the first set. bul Forget refused to buckle.
"1 was a btt tight, and Pete was dominating me." Forget said.
"Until the tiebreaker. I could have lost the match. I thought to myself. we can be
playing another hour or it can be over in five minutes."
Forget took the tiebreaker with a mint-break on the ninth point and won his next two serves with a volley and a pass
ing shot. The only other time he broke Sampras' serve was in the 10 th game of the third set. when Forget returned a triple match point serve for a winner.
"I started off real well, returning well." said Sampras, who beat second-ranked Stefan Edberg to reach the final. "I think tn the second and third sets 1 was content Just to return hts serve and wait for him to make a mistake. I wasn't being the aggressor
"I knew he was going to raise his level of tennis — he has one of the biggest serves on the tour — and obviously he's a very hot player right now."
Forget is ranked seventh tn Ihc world on the ATP computer. the high point of his career. and he's getting used to feeling that he can compete with Grand Slam winners.
These guys, in the past, have been better than me." Forget said. "Now I'm improv ing and I'm getting closer to them.
"If I play my best game and relax, maybe 1 beat them. But if I had to play the US Open right now. I don't think I would be ready."
Sampras, who turns 20 Monday, is the youngest to win the US Open men's singles. He'll begin his title defense tn two weeks.
"It certainly would have been nice to celebrate my birthday with a victory, but that's the way it goes " Sampras said. Tm very disappointed. but I can't get down on myself. I've had a good week."
His runnerup check was for dlrs 89.600
Ken Flach and Robert Seguso won the doubles title for the third time, although they were unseeded.
The pair, who also won in 1987 and 1989, defeated the third-seeded team of Grant Connell and Glenn Michibata 6-7 (7-3). 6-4,7-5 to share jlrs 67.800. The runnerups split dlrs 35.660.
