Tough draws for Lendl, Stich
PARIS, May 23: Fate refused to smile on three times champion Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia and
Wimbledon title-holder Mlc hacl Stlch of Germany when the first round draw for the French Open tennis championships was made on Friday, reports Reuter.
Lendl, who last won the Roland Garros title in 1987. was pitted against Spaniard Sergl Brugera, a clay court specialist widely regarded as one of the most dangerous of the unseeded players In the draw.
SUch. semtfinalist in Paris last year, was matched with veteran American Jimmy Connors, who is certain to have the passionate support of the French crowd in his annual door-die efforts on centre court.
Last year at the age of 38. Connors took 1989 champion and fellow-Amertcan Michael Chang, a player half his age, to a fifth set in a thrilling third round French Open duel be fore quitting — while leading — because of fatigue.
The lOth-seeded Lendl, who missed the French Open last year to concentrate on Wimbledon, can be none too pleased at facing a player who caused a major upset by beating top seed Stefan Edberg of Sweden in the first round in 1990.
Edberg, seeded second behind defending champion Jim Courier of the United States this time, has an easier looking passage towards what he hopes will be his first triumph al Roland Garros. In the first
round he meets French wild card entry Oltw r Souk-a
Courier who beat American Andre Agassi in last year's fi nal, should have a comforuibk start against a qualifier, still to be determined.
Courier s compatriot Pete Sampras, the third seed, will not be resting easy cither after being drawn against the big hitting Swiss Davis Cup player Marc Rosset, a difficult pn>|x> sition for anyone on clay.
John McEnroe, who can depend on the same emotional crowd support as Connors. Is unseeded for the first time in a decade as he faces Swede Nicklas KulU.
The projected quarter-final pairings would sec Courier against Goran Ivanisevic of Croatia. Sampras versus Guy Forget of France. Chang playing Stich and Petr Korda of Czechoslovakia meeting Edberg.
The women s draw looked far less eventful with top seed and defending champion Monica Seles of Yugoslavia playing the unheralded Frenchwoman Catherine Mothes and German second seed Steffi Graf facing Rene Simpson-Alter of Canada.
The most intriguing duel was the American Fernandez affair between sixth seed Mary-Joe and world number 21 Gigi. The Iwo are not related.
If all goes to form, as it tends to In the women's game, Seles would play American Jennifer Capriati in the last eight, Gabriela Sabatini of Argentina would meet Spain's Conchita Martinez, Manuela Malccva-Fragnterc of Switzerland would face 1989 champion Arantxa Sanchez Vicario of Spain and Mary-Joe Fernandez would be up against Graf.
