Among men Yannick Noah made some noticeable improvements - he started to win. He is quite a show - especially in doubles - and who knows? - might regain his 83 form. Edberg has been creeping up steadily without much fanfare.. List of disappontments would have to start with Krickstein, Cash, Gomez. Even a bigger (although not surprising) disappointment is Vilas. There is a shortage of people who look good + have good looking strokes, I guess... But that's subjective, some people think Lendl is all fluid & elegant. Among women Sabatini is the most interesting new entry, however the way she hits her backhand suggests that it'll be a lot of ice packs and elbow supports and time off for her. Especially her topspin backhand on clay: she almost wraps around with hand fully extended - nice but scary sight. Blah, blah, blah...: I do have a great number of other good topics I'd love to dicuss: extravagant costs of junior tennis, disgust with Bud Collins, etc, but work+school... I intend to go to MIlwaukee to see Borg & McEnroe hit some balls and will try to post a review about that. That's Nov 12, then they move to StLouis, I think... Mike Cherepov
