Bloom pointed out two
other "ifs" — the oppressive
heat and humidity of the New
Delhi summer and the grass
courts.
Asked if he would play
Davis Cup again, Mansdorf
said, "I cannot answer that."
His plans include a bit of
rest in Israel followed by tour-
nament play in Europe and
then again in the U.S. His
goal is to return to the consis-
tent play that characterized
the beginning of 1987.
Bloom had a similar hope.
"Well, I want to get more con-
sistent," he said. "I'd like to
get up to the top 100 in a year
from now, by the time I get
out of the army. From then, I
make the next step. The goal
is to get as high as I could."
Bloom, one of the few
active-duty soldiers on the in-
ternational tennis tour, had
no complaints about his
military hitch, which will last
another 14 months "I'm play-
ing quite a lot for a guy in the
army," he said. "I like to play
many matches because it's
best for me. I need to keep my
competitive fire. That's why
I've been playing 22 tour-
naments in the last year. I'm
hanging in there. I'm at the
door to the big time."
He said the army also has
allowed him practice time.
"When I'm at home I have to
go every day to the army from
8 a.m. to noon and I can prac-
tice in the afternoons," he
said.
He and Mansdorf agreed
their doubles team had the
potential for success despite
the absence of a tall man with
a booming serve. Mansdorf is
5'8", 140 pounds. Bloom is
almost 5'8" and weighs 150.
"It's a little tougher," said
Mansdorf. "But we cover the
court well enough."
Glickstein had returned to
Israel by the time the main
draw of the U.S. Open began,
but Bloom discussed his re-
cent on-court troubles. "He
had a few good years, three or
four years," Bloom said, but
has entered "a bad period" in
which former easy opponents
beat him.
"It's very tough to get out
of it. You lose, your confidence
goes, sometimes it can roll
like a snowball. I think he
made a few mistakes by
choosing to play only the big
tournaments" rather than
building his record in smaller
ones. Now Glickstein "always
has to beat good players to
qualify" for tournaments,
Bloom added.
