Vilas in Connors’s footsteps
PEMBROKE PINES. Florida, Oct 12: Guillermo Vilas is on the comeback trail, complete
i———1 with his laminar 1970s long hair and headband and looping topspin strokes, but he says he's not following the path of look-alike Bjorn Borg but of boxer George Foreman and the inspirational Jimmy Connors, reports Reuter.
The 39-year-old Argentine won his first match in more than two years this week after being forced into tennis Umbo in 1989 because of a severe elbow Injury.
Since returning to the circuit in July, Vilas lost four first-round matches in minor ATP Tour matches in Brazil and Colombia. But on Wednesday Vilas, ranked 852nd in the world, beat 135lh-ranked American Brad Pearce 6-2, 6-2 at the Pembroke Pines championship. a new 75.000-dollar ATP tournament.
He lost his next match, a tough three-setter to 24-year-old German Karsten Braasch, but Vilas Is encouraged.
"I'm playing better every time.” said Vilas, who was Inducted Into the tennis hall of fame in Newport. Rhode island, this summer." Two years Is not such a long time but when you don't play tennis completely you forget everything."
With five home around the world, Vilas said money was not the reason for his return.
"I want to retire when I don't want to play anymore, not because of an Injury," Vilas said. ' I still enjoy to play and that's the number one reason. I have nothing to prove to any body but myself that 1 can still compete."
Vilas was the lop player in the world in 1977, winning the French Open and them beating Connors lo win the US Open. He won 21 tournaments and 140 matches that year. He has won 61 titles in all and was ranked In the top 10 from 1974/83.
Vtias said he was emulating Foreman. not Bora, after ob-
serving the Sweden's shortlived comeback attempt last April. Borg lost a first-round match in Monte Carle under the microscopic scrutiny of the world's media.
“What If Borg won that first match? Vilas asked . "It would have meant nothing. He lacked match play. You have to play tournament after tournament so people can see you're playing well without the noise of a comeback.
"Foreman had some bad fights at the beginning but that was the only way to see if he
could do it."
Vilas also draws inspiration from Connors, another 39-year-old Greybeard, whose recent semifinal finish at the US Open brought him world-wide acclaim.
"Now I don’t have to answer all the questions with the way Jimmy played, " Vilas said. " Stefan Edberg won the tournament but Connors is on the cover of sports illustrated (magazine). It's great for tennis not to lose the old champions."
The next stop for Vilas is Sao Paulo, Brazil.
