Show mumi Wednesday, lune 20, 2001 Unpredictable Wimbledon gets expanded coverage By Stephen English oTVData Features Syndicate In today's tumultuous tennis world, the only sure thing is (hat you'll he able to sec more of Wimbledon this year. TNT is adding 23 hours to its coverage, which begins Monday, June 25, and producer Howard Zalkowit says many of the bonus hours come in the early rounds. "We're going to come on with Pete Sampras' first match and Venus Williams' first match. We thought that was important. No I, the reverence: Wimbledon's tradition tradi-tion of having the defending men's champion Day I and the ladies champion Day 2. You also have two Americans who set history his-tory last year - very popular play-. play-. crv" f "I think it's going 1o be very tough to repeat," says Zina Gam-son, Gam-son, who spent 1 5 years in the WTA and is the newest TNT Wimbledon analyst. "I think the way competition is going, it's tougher in women's and men's tennis." Besides, both Sampras and Williams have been dragging. "I think probably one of the biggest stones is Venus (in a slump) coming into Wimbledon; peopie arc going to want to know how she's going to come into the tournament." Gamson says. "Another "An-other one is going to be Jennifer Capriati winning (he Australian Open, having a good chance. Then on ihe men's side, you have Sampras, who always plays well (at Wimbledon) but lost at ihe French Open. We'll see if he can get himself back together." Gamson says the best stones at Wimbledon, however, always build over the course of the tournament. tour-nament. "I definitely think you have to watt for it to get started for the big stones to emerge," she says. "That's just pan of the history of the event; there are always things" that are evolving. There's always" a big story. The English make sure that they find those stones and that they publish them." The Bntish media circus around Wimbledon is just pan of the 7 0 Pete Sampras worldwide attention the tournament tourna-ment receives. "I think a lot of it has to do with just that it's one of the older tournaments," tour-naments," Gamson says. '1 think that's why fans and players look at it the same way. There's so much prestige behind it." A top-ranked player for much of her career, Gamson retired just four years ago. While in the hxxith, docs she ever look down longingly at the court? "The only time I ever want to go down and play is at Wimbledon," she says. "I'hat's because it's such a great place to play, it has such an intimate atmosphere. I have a lot of great memories there." Tennis advances rapidly these days, and a player out of the loop can quickly get behind the times. Gamson, who reached the finals at Wimbledon in 1990, isn't sure she could compete now. "The players are a lot taller, stronger, more powerful," she says. "The kids are in such great shape. Not to say that we weren't in great shape, but some of us probably wouldn't have been in the top 100 today." Garrison has no sympathy for players who are accustomed to clay and whine about the grass surface at Wimbledon. "A lot of players who say that are basically baseline players who have no versatility in their game. If you don't tough it out, you're gonna lose. If you look at someone some-one like (Martina) Hingis, (Lindsay) (Lind-say) Davenport, Venus, they've all adapted to a surface they're not used to playing on all year." Andie MacDowell (Town & Country) was named one of People magazine's 50 most beautiful people in the world in 1991 and 2000.
