Medvedev wins German Open
HAMBURG. May 9: Andrei Medvedev won _ his second title on clay In tow weeks ahead of the Fre-
nch Open later this month when he beat his friend Yevgeny Kafelnikov In the German Open final on Sunday, reports Reuter.
Ukrainian Medvedev, who reached the semifinals at Roland Garros last year added the prestigious Hamburg title to the Monte Carlo tournament he won two weeks ago with a 6-4. 6-4. 3-6, 6-3 victory.
The 19 year old Medvedev, ranked eighth in the world, and 20-year-old Kafelnikov who has risen from to 104th to 29th In the world this year.
are two of the hottest young properties on the circuit.
If they continue their present run of results the two former Soviet Union players who spent the week training together and played backgam mon together on the eve of the final, could be household names in the near future.
Neither player was able to reproduce his top form in an error-ridden final which seemed to be affected by a strong breeze In the north German port.
Kafelnikov who has earned the nickname "Kalashnikov", put out top seed Michel Stich in the semifinals and big serv ing third seed Goran Ivanisevic in the second round.
But the 10.000 crowd saw little of the Russian s powerful whipped forehand which helped destroy local hero Medvedev who has shown some superb form despite be Ing forced to rest for two months at the start of the year after knee surgery sowed the seeds of victory with a key break of service in the fifth game to lead S2
The Ukrainian player then clinched the first set after 38 minutes with a clever drop volley which Kafelnikov could only hit out of court
With the wind making some of the exchanges a bit of a lot tery Medvedev soon won the second set and although Kafelnikov battled back to take the third, the Ukrainian seemed to have the luck of the day in the decisive fourth.
Both players, who also practised together in the morning before the final, complained that the wind had de stroyed the match
"One side of the court was almost impossible to play." said Kafelnikov
Medvedev added: “I expected the match to have much more than we showed. It was a pretty bad final. I was lucky. I would not say I plyed better... mentally, it is three times as hard to play against a friend than a player like Michael Stfch."
The Ukrainian said Kafelnikov could be a name to watch out for in the months ahead with the start of the French Open looming in two weeks.
"He Is playing a top-five level." he said. The way he is playing Is amazing. If you play .stupid against him you have no chance."
