NEWS

ardly a training
ground for
world-class athletes,
Israel has fared best with its
professional tennis players.
For the third year in a row,
Israel's Davis Cup team,
which competes for interna-
tional tennis supremacy, has
reached the European Zone
finals. Only the Swiss block
Israel's path to the final
round of competition for the
1987 cup.
And Israel's three top male
tennis pros have placed high
in a few prestigious tourna-
ments and have won smaller
meets.
Yet despite these strong
showings, Israelis are not ex-
pected to vie for cham-
pionships at major tourna-
ments.
Only one Israeli, Amos
Mansdorf, ranks among the
world's top 100 male profes-
sional tennis players, at 77th.
Israel's other tour veterans,
Shiomo Glickstein and
Shahar Perkiss, admittedly
are trying to break long dry
spells.
At the U.S. Open, Aug. 27 -
Sept. 7, the trio offered good
matches but only two vic-
tories, in part because they
faced top-seeded players
early.
Mansdorf, 20, Israel's ris-
ing young star, was the only
Israeli winner, defeating
Czech veteran Tomas Smid,
6-4, 7-6, 6-3, and Mexican
Francisco Maciel, 7-5, 6-0,
6-0. Mansdorf lost a tense
see-saw match to eighth-
seeded Frenchman Henri
Lenconte, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.
He and Leconte pitted con-
trasting styles before 1,000
spectators. The small and
muscular Mansdorf was quick.
and steady, hitting thought-
ful shots. Leconte played
emotionally and at his best
gracefully, backing his
dashes to the net with confi-
dent volleys.
The doubles team of Glock-
stein and Perkiss had a more
difficult draw, losing in the
first round to third-seeded
Mats Wilander and Joakim
Nystrom of Sweden, 6-1, 6-3.
Perkiss was nervous, mis-
sing his groundstrokes, but at
6'4" he was deadly against
' low lobs. He had trouble with
his first serve, losing both his
service games and his temper
as the Swedes won the first
set.
The Israelis tied the second
set at 3-3, and the dozen Is-
raeli and many American
fans were cheering loudly.
"Shlomo, hurry up," said one,
"it's almost Shabbos."
The match did end before
sundown Friday, as the Is-
raelis quickly lost Glicks-
tein's service game on errors.
Then Wilander's serve hum-
bled Perkiss, and the Swedes
moved ahead 5-3. With Per-
kiss finally serving well,

Glickstein dominated the net,
but Wilander countered with
two superb lobs to close out
the set and the match.
During the match, Perkiss
occasionally muttered to him-
self. He is long-legged,
skinny and quiet at age 24.
Contrast that to Glickstein,
28, who is barrel-chested, has
the thighs of a linebacker
and growls like a bear at his
most blatantly errant shots.
Glickstein relies on shot
placement and anticipation,
which makes him a strong
doubles player. In singles, he
is vulnerable to quickness or
a big serve. He lost in the
first round to the unheralded
Eduardo Bengoechea of
Argentina, 6-2, 4-6, 6-0, 6-7,
7-6, after defeating three op-
ponents in qualifying rounds.
Last year he lost a five-set
match in the first round, too,
but that was to four-time
open champion John McEn-
roe of the U.S., who was then
near his peak.
Glickstein was disap-
pointed with his U.S. Open
results. "I thought I could do
better in singles." He indi-
cated frustration with his
singles play in general. His

At the U.S. Open,
the trio offered
good matches, but
only two victories.

ranking has slipped from the
50s to 322, and he said he
needs to "play much tougher
mentally." He said he's lack-
ing confidence. "(The top
players) win a lot, so they
have much more confidence,"
he said.
His immediate goal is to
join their company. "I'm try-
ing to get my ranking back,"
he said. He thinks that's
possible by "just the way I'm
playing." He has managed to
consistently qualify for tour-
naments, but hasn't passed
the first round.
Perkiss is in a similar posi-
tion, having fallen in the
rankings to as low as 190,
but now is 129. In one stage
I was 50th in the world," he
said. "I think I can repeat
that. It's tough ..."
He lost his third and final
qualifying match for the U.S.
Open, but in his two-and-a-
half years on the tour he has
beaten top players Aaron
Krickstein of the U.S.,
Thierry Tulasne of France
and Boris Becker of West
_ Germany, the latter several
months before he won the
first of his two Wimbledon ti-
tles.
"Since I beat Becker in the
beginning of '85, I didn't beat
anybody." he said.
That's not entirely true. He
has joined Glickstein in the
last two Davis Cup European
Zone finals, losing to Great
Britain in 1984 and the
