Americans in Paris in full force
PARIS. May 24: A fearsome American tennis contingent. their 34-year Paris Jinx finally banished.
go Into the French Open on Monday with every chance on landing their third mens singles title In four years, reports Reuter.
World Number onei defending champion and title favourite Jim Courier leads the strongest American squad In years to mount an assault on the prized crown In the French capital.
Gone arc the days when It seemed that no US player would ever be able to boast of becoming French Open cham pion on the slow clay courts of Roland Garros, so ill-suited to the classic north American attacking game.
But the shock victory of the then 17-year-old Michael Chang in 1989. ending a seem Ingly eternal barren spell following Tony Traberts' 1955 triumph, pumped confidence ’ Into a generation of rising young players well able to look after themselves on clay.
Courier's day of glory fol lowed — in an all-American final with Andre Agassi last
year— and there arc not too many bets going against another Stars and Stripes success this time.
Courier. one of six American seeds in the men's draw, used his Roland Garros victory last year as a stepping stone towards becoming the worlds' number one player, acquiring the coveted position atop the rankings this year after winning the Australian Open, first leg of the Grand Siam.
If he starts the logical favourite, Chang and Agassi are not far behind.
Chang, now 20, feels he has matured and Improved vastly as a player since lifting the trophy on centre court In 1989.
"When I first won the title I
wasn't ready for all the things that went with it," he told the sports dally L Equlpe In an interview published on Saturday.
"Now I'm a bit older. I know what It is to be In the world's top 10. I was thee. I dropped out and I got back. I know what I have to work for. Thanks to that, I think 1 can channel the pressure in the right direction."
Chang, like Courier, has a tough-looking path through the early part of the tourna ment with a first-round match against Dutchman Paul Haar huts, who beat him in Hamburg earlier this month, followed by likely encounters with clay court specialist Omat Campor ese of Italy and compatriot John McEnroe.
Agassi, losing finalist in each of the past two years, has an altogether easier-looking ride and could get into a last-16 tie with Frenchman Guy forget or Emilio Sanchez of Spain without too much difficulty.
Of the other American seeds, the most fancied must be Aaron Krickstcln, who reached the Monte Carlo Open final on clay last month, de molishlng world number three Boris Becker of Germany in straight sets on the way.
Third seed Pete Sampras, while not really a clay court player, could go far but only if he can overcome a highly dangerous first-round opponent tn the big-hitting Swiss Davis Cup player Marc Rosset.
However. Brad Gilbert, the 15th seed, is never happy at Roland Garros and will almost certainly not make much progress.
The biggest Americans-herocs, as far as the Paris crowd are concerned, will be one of these. The most rapturous welcome will be reserved for veterans Jimmy Connors and McEnroe.
Fans will cheer themselves hoarse for the 39 year-old-Connors when he takes on Wimbledon champion Michael Stich of Germany in the first round, hoping he can reproduce some of the heroics he showed last year In taking Chang to a fifth set.
McEnroe, appearing for the last time. Is long past the days when he could reallstl- . cally expect to win Grand Slam tournaments.
