We wanted to get the insights of the big matches, the atmosphere, the ambiance (to borrow a French word). Here are his thoughts on his return to the reality of Park City. I am sitting here on a big Air France plane, streaking towards home, having savored a few precious days in the City of Light. Paris is the favorite city I have visited, and when you throw in the French Open tennis championships, you can imagine what fun was to be had in France. The excursion was organized by Wilson Sporting Goods, of which tennis teaching pros on the Wilson Advisory Staff were eligible. Those in the group were "hard core" tennis ten-nis enthusiasts from around the United States, with excellent playing play-ing and spectating skills. They could appreciate good tennis, and were in Paris with that in mind. Every day was filled with tennis. The group would get up early, play tennis, grab a quick shower, and then head off to watch tennis at the famed Roland Garros tennis facility, facili-ty, the home of the French Open. When darkness put an end to play, all would head back to the hotel, then get up and do it all over the next day. My wife, Anne Marie, and I, both first timers in France, were there to experience both the country and the tennis. We sought a balance of entertainment, food, drink, the Parisians, their culture, history, and countryside. So, the French Open was much more than just ten- SMITH CORONK XL-2000 MFC. $169' 95 LIST CHECK OUR '269 IN-STORE SPECIAL PRICE ON All SMITH CORONA MODELS COMPUTER PAPER V CASE OF 3300 SHEETS 9 22"5 wnilt BUNU mm mm f mm oast; The Summer! entrees.

It was on To be successful on a trip such as this, you have to be tough and willing will-ing to get out there and mix it up with the Parisians. Boundless energy, navigation skills, an understanding of the Metro system, and good shoes are all characteristics necessary for success. suc-cess. Cars are out of the question. With from two to three million people in Paris, the entire city is a traffic jam, unless you drive like Mario Andretti and have the patience of a saint. We used the Metro to get around. It is inexpensive, efficient, fun, challenging, and definitely Parisian. Tennis in France is huge! It is being prompted as a national sport and pastime.

It was carried daily live on two national television stations from opening to closing. In the Metro stations TVs broadcast the progress of matches on the two stadium courts. It was easy to stay in touch with what was happening at Roland Garros wherever you went, from boutiques to small cafes. We were at the very first match of the tournament and saw Stefi Graf (the eventual champion) play N. Guerree of France. Even during the first week, Roland Garros was packed with tennis enthusiasts. Your best bet was to have a ticket for either of the stadium courts, which also gave you access to watch matches on the 17 surroun- the midst of the Parisians? Ah ding courts. You have to be able to push your way to these courts for they too are crowded. We saw numerous great players on the side courts, from Wilander (eventual men's champion) to Stefan Edberg to Lori McNeil to Michael Chang, an up and coming American. All of the great players were there, except for Miloslav Mecir of Czechoslovakia, who I would have loved to see play on clay. At times I felt squished and claustrophobic due to all the people, peo-ple, but eventually decided this is the way in Paris. Once resolved to the fact that I had to politely push my way through the crowds, I became more comfortable, saw more, and became more like a Parisian. The red clay surface of Roland Garros is interesting. I got the opportunity op-portunity to try it during a tennis mixer with French tennis teachers. It was fun! Sliding to the ball is definitely a skill to be acquired IW2 CELINE: Mark Jensen Garros, but she didn't play after spending lots of time on clay. The surface gives certain players advantages. These players are called call-ed by American tennis slang "dirt bailers." Andrea Agassi, a popular American in France, and another "great hope" in American tennis, is an extremely good player on clay. Why? His dexterity on clay is unusual, for he was brought up on hard courts here in the Intermountain area he is from Las Vegas, Nevada. But he hits the ball harder on his groundstrokes than any player I watched, an advantage on any surface. He also takes the ball on the rise, thus allowing him to play inside the baseline. His game was working well in Paris, as he made it to the semifinals before bowing out in a close match to Mats Wilander. oui. The tournament is a class act, for it is France's opportunity to be "on show" across the world. The security is excellent and very concentrated. con-centrated. I consider myself one of the most skilled in jumping fences, crawling through openings, and faking out ushers, but I was hard pressed in Paris. I did make it down to the first row, court level, stadium court on several occasions seeking Boris Becker's autograph for Jennifer Madgic of the Park Record, and in doing so was almost arrested! I did manage to bring back a bit of red clay for the Record's Randy Hanskat, though. Throughout, I was able to see some of the great players of the world right up close Wilander, Agassi, Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Noah, on and on. Getting through the security and the crowds wasn't easy, but it was worth it! Other than the players, others on the court were fun to watch. The linemen and women, and umpires were all chic in dress (all wore coat and tie) marching in and out before and after matches like the changing of the guard at the French Palace de Parliament. I was impressed! As for food, the concessions were good, expensive (as is everything in Europe), with many choices. There was, of course, cheese and wine, ham sandwiches, chocolate cake, ice cream, and many other delicacies. Bottled water was a necessity wherever. The best system for food was to hit the local grocery store prior to the matches, buy some good cheese, bread, apples, ap-ples, and bottled water or wine (if you felt like sneaking it in), put them in your sachet, and off you headed to the courts. It was best to use a seat in one of the stadium courts as your headquarters, head-quarters, and then to branch out to perimeter court matches. Sometimes, on the outer courts, you can really get involved in a match of doubles; or two players ranked number 61 and number 105 in the world from Germany and Haiti playing their hearts out in hopes of getting to the next round, where the possibility of playing a seed or somebody famous may await.
