Courier couldn’t care less
MELBOURNE. Jan 22: While number one Stefan Edberg and Ivan Lendl fought a ftve-set encounter on Wednesday. Jim Courier, on current from the world’s best tennis player, demolished Israel's Amos Mansdorf in three sets to win a place In the Australian Open last four, reports Reuter.
There were a couple of Journalists watching him in the press area on Number One court and only a handful of the hundreds covering the tournament turned up at his later news conference.
That's fine by me. I don't mind at all." the qultly-spoken American said when asked if he minded being shunned.
The 21 -year-old American, the bookmakers' favourite for the first Grand Slam of the year, has dropped only one set on his way to an expected final against Sweden's Edberg.
The enigmatic Courier has let the packet do his talking and has deliberately avoided the limelight on h!s way to what could be a number one ranking at the end of this Open
He would be the first American to achieve this since John McEnroe in August 1985.
Courier, a power-hitter with a cannonball serve and a blistering forehand, said earlier this week he was quite happy to sneak his way Into the finals out of the spotlight.
"Fame is not something I really need." he said.
"Unfortunately, or fortunately perhaps. I am getting more and more well known, he added.
’But I m not an icon like ^Andre (Agassi) is In the US through his commercials. I hke to go to the mall, a restaurant or a movie and not be ’ bothered." Courier said
"I don't want to have to keep looking In the mirror all the time because people are watching what Cm doing."
Like It or not. the Florida-born player will have to handle blanket media attenUon If he wins his first Australian Open title, to add to the French Open title he won last year.
But a dual career In television commercials like Agassi's was unlikely. "You can make a lot of money winning tennis matches." he said.
"If I do commercials they will be more like who I am." he said.
In the space of a year. Courier has had a phenomenal rise from a relatively average ranking of 26 to number two. In the process beating more top-10 players than anyone else on the tour In 1991 and winning 1.7 million US dollars in prize money.
Courier acknowledged the money was a comfort but it was not everything.
"When I didn't have any money I was Just as liappy as I am now and there's no reason to be any happier. Or more happy or less happy." he said.
And to press home his point, the man who likes to call himself Just a regular guy. gave the media a maxim to ponder over. .
"Happiness Is not what you've got. It's how happy you are with what you have. I am happy with what I have." Courier Mid.
Courier would probably be a touch happier on Sunday if he comes away from Melbourne with the Open title and the number one crown.
