Leconte meets Korda in semis
PARIS. June 4: The crowd chanted, 'Henri. Hen-
Thc stands shook: the mood was electric.
It could have been l.yon. six months ago, when delirious French fans cheered Henri lx
contc and Guy Forget to a Davis Cup championship over a heavily favoured US team, reports AP.
This time the site was Stade Roland Garros, the event was the French Open. But Leconte again was the star, roaring back from two sets down
Wednesday to reach the semifinals.
His emotional play, and the wild crowd reaction, brought back memories of Lyon, where he was the inspirational leader as France regained the Davis Cup for the first time in 59 years.
Ranked 200th In. the world. Leconte is 1n the French Open as a wild-card entry. Even when he was invited, he hesitated before accepting because he was concerned about being out of shape.
A series of ups and downs, including back surgery, have brought him in and out of the spotlight after rising to No 5 in the world In 1986.
But on Wednesday, for his compatriots, he was the stuff of legends.
Supposedly in trouble in a long match, the 28-year-old Frenchman came back to beat 21-year-old Nicklas Kulli of Sweden 6-7 (8-10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. 6-3 to advance to the semifinals.
'The fans were fantastic, especially when 1 won the third set,' Leconte said. 'But I can’t really explode yet because I have another match to play.'
With his fists pumping after nearly every winning shot, Leconte was swept to victory by an emotional wave, similar to his third-round victory over Michael Stich, the Wimbledon champ and No 4 seed here.
This time, Leconte had to gj five sets and play more than 3— hours, not counting a one-hour rain delay. In his four previous matches, he won In straight sets, spending an av eragc of about two hours on the red clay court.
Leconte next will play Petr Korda of Czechoslovakia who completed a quarterfinal victory Thursday over Andrei Cherkasov of Russia.
