The winner apologized. The crowd
hanted the loser’s name.
“Mon-ee-ka! Mon-ee-ka! Mon-ee-
;a!”
Monica Seles sat solemnly on cen-
er court, her inspiring run through
he French Open over.
Arantxa Sanchez Vicario won her
hird title at Roland Garros on Satur-
lay, defeating Seles 7-6 (7-5), 0-6,
»-2 in a soggy final that was delayed
11 minutes at the start by rain.
“I’m so sorry that 1 beat you. I
lon’t think you are the one who de-
lerved to lose," Sanchez Vicario told
seles as she accepted the si I ver chain -
rionship trophy. “ I have a lot of
■espect for you, especially with all
hat happened.
Seles, w hose father died three
weeks ago and whose ring she wore
around her neck, stared straight ahead
as the rain began falling again. Then
she gathered herself, and thanked the
fans.
“It’s been so special coming back
this year,” she said.
Sanchez Vicario’s victory assured
a Spanish sweep o f the singles titles.
Spanish compatriots and close friends
Carlos Moya and Alex Corretja play
in the m en’s final Sunday.
It will be the second all-Spanish
men’s final in five years at the French
O pen. Sergi B ruguera defeated
Alberto Berasategui for the 1994 title.
Seles has played in only five tour­
naments this year while shuttling
between the tennis circuit and her
family’s home in Sarasota, Fla. She
was at her dad’s side when he died
May 14 after a five-year battle witl
cancer.
Seles, who won the French Opel
three straight years starting in 1990
came to Roland Garros this year hav
ing not played in 10 days. But twio
she rallied from a set down to ad
vance to the semifinals, where sb
beat top-seeded Martina Hingis ii
straight sets.
“It’s been really surprising wher
I’ve gotten these past two weeks,
she said. “It’s been obviously a ver
different two weeks, just because
was able to concentrate on tennis
which was a very nice feeling,
haven’t had it for a long time.”
Sanchez Vicario, who earned mor
than $600,000 for the victory, wa
playing in her sixth French Ope
final in 10 years.

Couple o f buddies playing tennis on
a w indsw ept Sunday.
And, at tim es, they perform ed
like weekend hackers. G usts that
whipped the clay across center court
turned routine shots into adventures
and robbed the match o f drama.
Moya, steady but unspectacular,
defeated his fellow Spaniard and
close friend 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 for the
French Open title before a crowd
that seem ed more interested in do­
ing the w ave than in often tedious
tennis.
Moya flopped onto his back after
C orretja netted a backhand on match
point. C orretja jum ped the net for a
long hug with M oya, who flung his
racket high into the stands as a fan
yelled " V iv a E spaña!”

trophy and then joined M oya for an

They headed it back and forth, and
then M oya booted the ball into the

M oya said he felt no guilt about
defeating a good friend.

" F o r two w eeks I’ll be a king,”
Moya said o f the period before
W imbledon. " I ’m not sad, not at
all, even beating him. I just won a
Grand Slam, so I cannot describ
how happy I am .”
I w a sju sttry in g to find the ball. I
was honestly tough to play.”
