Forget shoulders French hopes
LYON, France, Nov 29 : France are pinning their hopes on an upset victory over the United States In the Davis Cup final fairly and squarely on the shoulders of world number seven Guy Forget, reports Reuter.
On paper, the Americans with on-from Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras in the singles look strong enough to defend their title without too much ado. -
But the whple of France is looking to Forget to be lifted by fanatical home crowd at Lyon's Palais Des Sports and lead his team to their first. Davis Cup triumph in more than half a century.
Though the Americans are exuding confidence of the victory suggested by the form book. French captain Yannick Noah feels the chances arc
' No-one believes in us but wc believe in ourselves," he said. That's the way to spring surprises. In my career, 1 never beat a player ranked
higher than me without going on court believing I could do if.
Noah, refused to be disturbed by the excellent form shown by Sampras, making his Davis Cup debut after an Inspired four months in which he has won four tournaments and reached two other finals.
Winner of the Association of Tennis Professionals World Championships In Frankfurt earlier this month. Sampras has lost only six matches In this period — but two of the defeats were at the hands of Forget.
"Guy is capable of beating both Americans," Noah said. "And in Henri Leconte wc have someone who could also win one or two points. Wc have a chance in the doubles too."
Noah has gambled on the experience and fighting spirit of the swashbuckling Leconte despite his manifest lack of match practice since a back operation, the third of his career, in the summer.
The French captain is also planning to playT-econtc with Forget in the doubles against
old campaigners Ken Falch and Robert Scguso though Noah could make a last minute decision to play himself if he feels Leconte is too tired.
The East indoor surface at the Palais Des sports will certainly favour the big-serving Forget, who believes he could beat both Agassi and Sampras if he can finish points quickly and not get involved in rallies.
Forget, enjoying his best season ever with six titles and two victories over world number on Swede Stefan Edberg under his belt, is less confident than his captain about the final outcome though he said France were not the underdogs many imagined.
"Our chances are about one in three," he said. That's not bad. And you shouldn't forget that the Americans have taken a big risk by selecting two singles players and a specialist doubles team."
"What if someone gets injured." It's like going on the Paris — Dakar Rally without a spare wheel."
American captain Tom Gorman said he was uncon-
cerned by fears that the 20-ycar-old Sampras might crack under the pressure of a Davis Cup debut in such an Important tie, playing before a hostile crowd.
"Even If there is a lot of pressure, I know it's possible for him to play so well he won't feci ft." he said.
"Pete has been playing so well lately that I'm convinced he will go out on court thinking Just about hitting the ball. That would make our weekend so much easier."
Agassi has slipped to 10th in the world, mainly because he has played few tournaments, but his Davi, Cup form
The linchpin of the team which won the title last year, he performed heroics to keep the United States in the competition in a tough semifinal against Germany two months a^.
Agassi, brimming over with scif-confidcnce. has to face Forget on the opening day today. a match which could be a pointer to the destiny of the U-the
