  • Linda talks to Peter Bodo, senior writer for Tennis Magazine, about the surprise upset today of American favorite Pete Sampras by Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov (ka-FELL-nik-ov) at the French Open. Bodo says that Sampras's proven inability to play well on clay, along with the stress he has recently felt as the top seed in men's tennis, contributed to his loss. Kafelnikov will advance to the final on Sunday against Michael Stich of Germany. Bodo believes that Kafelnikov's "time has come" and picks him to win Sunday's final match. In women's tennis, Bodo believes that Steffi Graf is in top condition and is likely to win her match against Arantxa Sanchez (ah-RAHN-tcha SANN-chezz) of Spain in Saturday's final.
