McEnroe will lead U.S. team in Davis Cup against France
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO - The last time the United States won the Davis Cup, John McEnroe was the star and France was the opponent.
Seven years later, McEnroe will try to lead the U.S. team to another Cup victory against France.
McEroroe and Andre Agassi will represent the United States in singles when the countries meet in the quarterfinals today through Sunday at the Sports Arena. Ken Flach and Robert Seguso, who are undefeated as a Davis Cup team, will play doubles for the United States.
"This is the most exciting Davis Cup match-up I can think of," said Torm Gommar, the U.S. captain. He said he would match for name value and competition.
Yannick Noah and Henri Leconte will play singles and doubles for France.
Today, it will be McEnroe vs. Noah
and Agassi vs. Leconte. Flach and
Segusio will play Noah and Leconte in
doubles tomorrow. The competition
will be Noah vs. Noah and Noah vs.
Leconte and Agassi vs. Noah.
McEnroe, ranked sixth in the world, is off to his best start in four years. He won two titles in the first three months of the year, including a double overtime win where he defeated top-ranked Ivan Lendl for the first time since 1965.
During the late 1970s and early '80s, McEnroe helped the United States win four Davis Cup titles. He also led the team in 37-8 in singles and 15-4 in doubles.
While McEnroe has been on the rise, Agassi has fallen two spots in the world rankings after skycrowrt to No 3 last year. But the 18-year-old from Las Vegas is 5-0 in Davis Cup competition.
Noah, ranked 12th in the world, has a Davis Cup record of 25-12 in singles
and 13-8 in doubles. He may be tired however, after playing five-set matches in the past three weeks.
Leconte, ranked one spot below Noah, is 15 in 15 Davis Cup singles and 9-5 in doubles. He is known as an inconsistent player, but Gorman said he was a tough fighter with dangerous than Noah because "he can bit that hot streak at any time."
The United States was demoted to zonal competition after losing to West Germany in 1987. Beating Peru and Argentina last year put the teamback into the 16-team World Group that actually plays for the Cup.
"After we lost to West Germany, we said to ourselves. We shouldn't be here. What's wrong? Germany or France?" I answered. "Germany to keep on going down last year." We kept on toowe
In other quarterfinals, defending champion West Germany plays Czechoslovakia. Sweden meets Austria, and Spain plays Yugoslavia.
