MILAN, Italy. Feb 25: Boris Becker was out of the tournament without playing a single game. Wimble-
don champion Richard Krajicek went out following an exhausting battle of 36 games against Sergi Bruguera, reports AP.
The unseeded Spaniard produced the first big upset in the 815.000 dollars Milan indoor tournament by downing Krajicek. the No. 2 seed. 4-6. 7-6. 7-6 at Assago Forum on Monday night.
Bruguera. 26. prevailed 15-13 in the decisive third-set tiebreaker. after surviving three match points in the first round of Italy’s richest competition.
The Spanish player, who fell out of the top 20 in 1996 following a bad right ankle injury showed samples of the determination and consistent baseline play which earned him consecutive French Open titles in 1993 and 1994.
Bruguera served 11 aces and played precise returns on his way to victory In two hours and seven minutes.
Krajicek had 25 aces — four in the third-set tie breaker — but made a series of unforced errors at crucial moments of the match and was especially erratic in backhand play.
