US-Swiss Davis Cup final tied 1-1 as’

Agassi sizzles, Courier fizzles
FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec 5: Andre Agassi sizzled but Jim Courier fizzled, leaving the heavi-
ly favoured United States and Switzerland deadlocked 1-1 in the davis Cup tennis finals after Friday's singles, reports Reuter.
Agassi opened the best-of-fivc match tie by overwhelming Jakob Hldsek 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 to extend his 1992 Davis Cup record to 7-0 and career mark to 19-4.
But world number one Courier was left shell shocked by the monster serve of Olympic champion Marc Rosset iri a five-set epic battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats for four hours and 23 minutes.
The 35th ranked Rosset, who also beat Courier this summer at the Olympics, unleashed 27 accs and 15 service winners and demonstrated tremendous poise under the pressure of ht? first Davis Cup final to win 6-3, 6-7 (9-11). 3-6. 6-4, 6-4.
"It Was a match I will’remember all my life," said the soft-spoken, gangling Rosset.
"It was like playing in Switzerland," he said referring to the Swiss fans, who were far louder despite being outnumbered by the homecrowd in the 12,000 seat arena.
The victory broilght on a wild celebration from the boisterous 1,200-strong Swiss contingent, that sang, clanged cowbells and wildly waved flags throughout the match after having been silenced by Agassi's overpowering display.
Courier, whose Davis Cup record dropped to 2-5, was shaken and upset and ground-ingly gave brief responses to questions in the post-match interview.
"I wish 1 played well," said Courier, the first American to end the year as the number one player in the world since John McEnroe 1n 1984.
—The finals .aoa shift to to-
day's pivotal doubles when McEnroe and Pete Sampras will try to recapture American momentum against Rosset and Hiasek.
Courier appeared to have seized momentum in the third set after takfng an amazingly tense 11 -9 second set tiebreak in which both players squandered two set points each.
The Australian and French Open champion won three successive games from 3-3, breaking Rosset's serve twice to take a two sets to one lead.
But the traditional 10-mlnute breakafter the third set apparently gave the Swiss giant a.chance to regroup.
The 6-foot-5 (1.96m) Rosset took the fourth set on the strength of a single service break in the fifth game and jumped out to a commanding 4-1 fifth-set lead by breaking serve twice.
Courier then dug down and appeared to be on the verge, of
a pulling off a great comeback. He broke Rosset for 4-2 and held double break point in the eight game with a chance to level the set at 4-4.
But Rosset would not be denied. He saved both breakpoints and served out the match before falling over flat onto his back in disbelief.
1 fought until the last point and that's why I win," he said.
Rosset's teammate and doubles partner Hiasek never had a chance against Agassi.
Agassi, ranked ninth in the world, needed only 1 hour, 28 minutes to defeat the top Swiss player after boldly predicting it would take an opponent's best and luckiest day to beat him.
Instead, Agassi played one of the best matches of his career. delighting the crowd while quickly quieting the loud Swiss contingent.
"I wish I could go play Marc Rosset right how,” Agassi said
— before Rosset's performance.
"I think I had him a little frustrated, said Agassi, who won his 10th straight Davis Cup match and improved to 19-4 in tennis' yearly international championships. Hiasek fell to 27-11.
"I mean, there really wasn't too much I wasn't doing extremely well today," Agassi said. "Like I satd before the final, they're going to have to play the match of their lives to beat me here because *1 know what to expect from myself."
Hiasek said he tried everything to break Agassi's spell.
This is a team event," he said. "Just the first chapter has been written."
Rosset emphatically wrote the second.
