France defeats U.S. in Davis Cup finals
Agassi match canceled after Forget victory
The Associated Press
LYON, France— In one of the most improbable upsets in Davis Cup history, the French "Musketeers" were reborn.
Fifty-year years after last winning the Davis Cup, France captured the biggest prize in team tennis yesterday as Guy Forge beat Pete Sampras in four sets and clinched a 3-1 victory over defending champion United States.
Inspired by a wild, flag-waving,
chanting crowd, Forget served his way
out of trouble time after time—he
went to the beach where he came Sampras
7-6 (4-6), 3-6, 3-6, 4-1.
With the outcome of the best-of-5 competition already decided, the team captains canceled the last single between Andre Agassi and Billy Leonardo.
When Forget hit a forehand volley into the open court on match point and collapsed onto his back in exhilaration, France celebrated one of its biggest sporting achievements in decades.
It may be difficult for people in the United States to fully understand what the United States has done.
French President Francois Mitter-
land immediately sent telegram to the
police.
"I followed with passion interest the matches you played with your worry adversaries," the messagedread. "I extend you my warmest congratulations and thank you sincerely for being the Davis Cup back to France."
Forget had his own explanation.
"The American team didn't realize how much the Davis Cup meant to the French people and the French team," he said. "In France, we have the soccer World Cup, the Tour de France and the Davis Cup."
"I've been playing tennis for 18 years and this is my greatest victory." Forget said. "It's the most beautiful day of my life."
With the sellout crowd of 8,300 at the Palais des Sports chanting "On a Gagne! On a Gagne! (We Won! We Won!), the French team ran victory laps around the court with the French flag.
After filming the celebration scene with a video recorder, French captain unmask Nokah leat players in a comedy movie. The new reggae-style song "Saga Africa."
It waaa d day that recreated the glory years of the legendary "Four Musketeers" — Rene Lacoste, Henri Cochet, Jacques Brugun and Jean Borotra — who beat the United States to win the Davis Cup in 1927.
Stewart wins big, Nicklaus wins nothing in four-man Skins Game
The Associated Press
LA QUINTA, Calif. — Payne Stewart,
a published artist, sees the camera as a spectator to his picture scene.
Yesterday, Stewart won a check for $260,000, the biggest prize the U.S. Open champion has ever collected playing golf. That made him the big winner in the two-day, four-man, made-for-TV event.
He was eliminated, however, from the two-hole sudden death playoff for the last skin and with Jack Nicklaus on the sidelines when rookie John Daly beat Curtis Strange for the last $40,000 of the enriched purse.
"That's the nature of the Skins Game," Stewart said. "I played well in this game."
nine, then I hit one in the water. That's the way it goes."
Daly, the power-hitting PGA champion,
finished the competition with
$160,000 for the two days, and Strange
won $120,000.
Nicklaus, obviously hampered by a chronic back condition. was shut out.
Nicklaus said he would play no more this year.
"I'm disappointed in the way I played," he said, "but I guess I should have thought of you earlier."
Stewart, making his first start in the Skins Game, became the biggest money-winner with a 3-foot birdie put on the 14th hole. That came after the seven previous holes had been halved and the purse had built to $260,000.
