Three time champ Gustavo Kuerten put an uninspiring first round win behind him by annihilating the Moroccan Hicham Arazi in straight sets to advance to the third round. Kuerten's valiant reversal of form at this, the scene of his emphatic Grand Slam triumphs, was truly inspiring. Playing devastating tennis, the popular Brazilian made short work of his North African opponent, inflicting the worst defeat of their six encounters to date (6-1 6-0 6-1) in a mere 82 minutes. Put simply, Kuerten could do no wrong. "I think I played tactically perfect in the court," admitted the No15 seed, who took four long sets to displace the veteran Swiss player Marc Rosset in the first round. "I think, you know, one of these days, in your mind you know how to play. As far as you get to the court, things start to go the way you want. It's like everything come much easier." Kuerten moved the dazed Moroccan around the dirt like a puppet on strings. He forced him meters outside the court with his heavy topspin groundstrokes and dictated the match with his aggressive, consistent play. The former world No1 rifled 22 winners, converted seven of 14 break point opportunities and broke Arazi's serve eight times, while enjoying a winning percentage on his first serve of 79 per cent. "I think I had the game in my head before going to the court very clear, knowing how to play…I just was inspired enough and very focusing to maintain the same level from the beginning to end, and really playing a solid game," said Kuerten, who last year dropped out of the top ten for the first time since 1998. So what was previously touted the 'match of the day' became a disappointing fizzer as the Moroccan combusted, making 57 unforced errors to his opponent's 30. In fact, so dismal was the display by the normally flamboyant Arazi, that it earned 'boos' and whistles from the disgruntled Parisians who had arrived expecting a blockbuster. When the flashy left-hander won his serve at 1-4 in the second set the crowd cheered wildly, hoping for a revival of sorts. But it was not to be. By the end of the match, the charismatic South American - who comes into the tournament as somewhat of an underdog given his recent performances on clay - had once again endeared himself to the French fans. He gathered his belongings , gazed into the packed stands of center court and, cheekily grinning from ear to ear, graciously waved and bowed himself out of the stadium. But the lopsided contest hardly provided the thorough workout the former champ needed to play himself into contention for this year's title. Once the world's premier clay court player, Kuerten has been average, by comparison, since having arthroscopic surgery on his right hip in February 2002. The winner here in 1997, 2000 and 2001, he has not advanced past the semi finals on clay since winning Stuttgart in July 2001. His lead-in to the French Open has also been less than impressive. But despite carrying less public expectation into the tournament, Kuerten nevertheless admitted to still feeling the pressure. "I think as far as you play this tournament, it's always some extra pressure. It's a big tournament. "But in the same way, you more motivated that you are happy to be here. So you have to put yourself in a middle term, between the good and the bad things that involve a tournament like this. And for me it's always much more good things than bad. I feel very happy to play." The South American refused to be drawn into speculating about a possible semi final clash against the in-form Juan Carlos Ferrero (who he has beaten in two semi finals here), preferring instead to focus on his next match, which will be against the dangerous Argentinean and No21 seed Gaston Gaudio. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 大意Guga說：「在球場上發揮正變得簡單，在經過了與Rosset的四盤比賽之後，我巳經掌握到在比賽從頭到底保持專注力的要訣，而且打出內容非常實在堅強的比賽」 YA....！Go Guga！ http://www.rolandgarros.org/en_FR/news/photos/imagepages/44dae736691047bb00256 d350059bc27.html http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/030529/74/3893a.html http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/030529/74/38939.html 我覺得Guga漸漸打出他在紅土上的那股霸氣了…嗯…可以想像場邊的Guga後援會一定又在唱Guga加油歌了:P 很好玩說…「OLE、OLE、OLE，Guga、Guga、Guga！(重覆)」(爆笑 ~還有抑揚頓挫跟節奏說XD) 然後大叫三聲： Guga！(啪啪啪) Guga！(啪啪啪) Guga！(啪啪啪) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.64.84.106
