Our delicate sensibilities have prevented us from pronouncing its name: radical Islam. Not Islam as practiced peacefully by millions of the faithful around the world but a specific fringe political movement, dedicated to imposing its fanatical ideology on its own societies and destroying the society of its enemies, the greatest of which is the United States.Israel, too, is an affront to radical Islam and thus, of course, must be eradicated But it is the smallest of fish. The heart of the beast – with its military in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey and the Persian Gulf; with a culture that “corrupts” Islamic youth; with an economy and technology that dominates the world – is the United States. That is why we were struck so savagely.How do we know? Who else trains cadres of fanatical suicide murderers who go to their deaths joyfully? And the average terrorist does not co-ordinate four hijackings within one hour. Nor fly a plane into the tiny silhouette of a single building For that, you need skilled pilots seeking martyrdom. That is not a large pool to draw from.These are the shock troops of the enemy And the enemy has many branches. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Israel, Osama bin Laden’s organization headquartered in Afghanistan, and various Arab “liberation fronts” based in Damascus.
And then there are the governments: Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya among them. Which one was responsible? We will find out soon enough.But when we do, there should be no talk of bringing these people to “justice”. An open act of war demands a military response, not a judicial one.Military response against whom? It is absurd to make war on the individuals who send these people The terrorists cannot exist in a vacuum They need a territorial base of sovereign protection For 30 years we have avoided this truth. If Mr bin Laden was behind this, then Afghanistan is our enemy Any country that harbours and protects him is our enemy We must carry their war to them.The “long peace” is over. We sought this war no more than we sought war with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan or Cold War with the Soviet Union. But when war was pressed upon the greatest generation, it rose to the challenge. The question is: Will we? The writer is a Pulitzer prize-winning columnist for ‘The Washington Post’.
‘Most people there don’t have televisions or radios. They will not have heard
I have just returned from Afghanistan, and cannot avoid a growing feeling of dread at what may be about to befall the people I have left behind. The bellicose statements being issued by America and her allies about revenge and retaliation for Tuesday’s horrific terrorist attacks against New York and Washington seem to be softening up Western electorates for some kind of massive military action against the Afghan people.
Because of these threats, aid organisations have been forced to pull out their foreign workers – fearing either that they may be caught in the expected raids, or that they would be attacked because they are Westerners after the Nato bombers have flown away. The effects of this withdrawal could be infinitely more tragic and devastating than the worst that a wounded America may throw at this troubled, long-suffering country.For, although it has gone largely unreported, Afghanistan is in the grip of a three-year drought and on the verge of mass starvation.
Figures from the UN-run World Food Programme claim that, by the end of the year, 5.5 million people will be entirely dependent on food aid to survive the hard winter – that’s a quarter of the population. As the Christian Aid programme officer responsible for Afghanistan, I have been helping to supply food and seeds to communities in desperate need. In a few weeks, the winter snows will come, cutting off the hundreds of isolated villages whose only links to the outside world are rutted dirt tracks Without seeds, they will be unable to replant for next year. Without food aid now, thousands could be dead before the spring.Already fears on the ground about this pending catastrophe are filtering through. Only yesterday, I received this message from one of the local organisations funded by Christian Aid: “What will happen to the people if aid agencies remain reluctant to resume full operations? The consequences are quite clear that people who are already suffering would be the victims. And if any military action is taken, Afghan staff and civilians will be in real danger.”Terrorism is the worst thing and it shows how blind these people are as human beings. But if the leaders do not have patience and tolerance, they can only do further damage.”This, I think you must agree, is not a voice from a country of dedicated international terrorists or religious fanatics.

The finding – which suggests (as so many other astronomical calculations do) that there is less matter around than predicted – could mean that theories about the formation of galaxies will have to be revised.
Astronomers have known for years that there are areas of the sky where optical telescopes cannot find any visible matter such as galaxies, gas or stars. Space really does consist of large amounts of nothing, according to a new set of results from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). An international team using telescopes in Chile, Europe, Australia and the US have discovered that there are voids up to 100 million light years across that contain no matter at all. How can evolution explain the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly?15. Why can’t scientists demonstrate evolution?

How could the first plants survive without photosynthesis – a very complex process?12. How do you explain symbiotic relationships, where plants and animals need each other to survive?13.

How could reproduction evolve? And why should two sexes evolve so many times – wouldn’t asexual reproduction be more efficient?11. If evolution has been taking place for so long, shouldn’t there be many more transitional fossils between species? And why are the few examples shown by archaeologists intermediate in only one feature, rather than many?9. How could self-replicating life have emerged from dead chemicals?6. Cells require both DNA (the “plan”) and RNA (the “copier”), which are tremendously complex, to survive. What chance is there that both these co-dependent necessities came into existence at exactly the same time?7.

I came across this publication several years ago when I answered an ad for freelance writers in a newspaper.They wanted articles about people who liked to take their clothes off and have fun (but not in a pornographic sort of way) and requested submissions be accompanied by photographs. The next morning, however, the woman did not get dressed, although her partner did The morning after that he too was naked. They had got pally with the Belgians and they all sat around the campfire together, starkers.It wasn’t just the campsite that was open to nudists. The third couple to arrive on the scene succumbed to the pressure exerted by the naked Belgians, but then they did pitch their tent much nearer to them.They arrived clothed, presumably, like us, unaware that the campsite was different from any other, and remained clothed the following day. I could just about cope with passing the time of day with the naked woman, but when the man stopped for a chat on the way back from the toilet block, I did not know where to look. I found that I had to stare him directly in the eyes for the entire time we were talking about the weather because I didn’t want to look down, or for him to think I was looking down.
If he had been wearing a pair of trunks, it would have been fine. It was also awkward because I felt that in chatting about the weather, we weren’t getting to the point. What he surely wanted to say to me was, “Why don’t you take your clothes off?” and what I wanted to say to him was: “Why haven’t you got your clothes on? What on earth possesses you to come on holiday to a particular place for the specific reason of going around naked? How long have you been doing this?”Of course, being a dressed person in a place for undressed people makes you feel uncomfortable, but certainly less uncomfortable than actually taking your clothes off. We pitched our tent at a polite distance from our neighbours, went for a quick swim and then poured ourselves a much-needed aperitif each. Both were large, Belgian (that we had ascertained from the identification badge on their car) and probably in their early 60s They were also both naked. We were in a naturist campsite.
They were a sociable couple and spoke perfect English, but I tried to avoid having conversations with them. As we sat outside, relaxing and enjoying the evening sun, our neighbours emerged from their tent, gave us a friendly wave and started cooking dinner.
I sat at the other end of the beach in my swimsuit and ignored them No problem. The second time I came across naturists, in the Ardeche region of France, they were more difficult to avoid. After a long day’s drive, my partner and I had set up camp on a beautiful site. It was next to a river and, being very late in the season, it was empty except for one other tent.

The country’s agriculture-driven economy shrank 2.9 percentin the first quarter compared with the fourth quarter of 2008as a severe drought compounded the impact of a global economicdownturn. This marked the first contraction versus the previousquarter since the fourth quarter of 2002, government datashowed. The head of the central bank, Mario Bergara, said later inthe day that the economy could begin to recover in late 2009. “There are signs that the contraction eased this (second)quarter, giving the impression that the biggest impact was feltin the first quarter,” Bergara told local radio.
For the sake of argument, let’s pretend that among all the academics, civil servants, economists, voluntary agencies and the myriad others who have devoted their lives to this arcane subject, not one was deemed suitable. Alas, he is not available for interview, perhaps for fear that impertinent journalists might ask his opinion on the difficult interface between council rents and housing benefits.Let us assume there was no one else with any greater experience of the social security system to take on this job. He has no experience or track record in the field of social security benefits, or at least none he lists in Who’s Who.Maybe the workings of the social security system 1945-95 is an unlisted hobby or perhaps a subject he has been mugging up for Mastermind. How was a man whose talent was for understanding the claim form for family credit fit to lead men into battle?This is what did happen: in the deathly quietness of the bank holiday weekend, with virtually every politician comatose on some foreign beach, Peter Lilley, Social Security Secretary, slipped out a brief notice announcing that Lieutenant-General the Hon Sir Thomas Boyd-Carpenter had been appointed as chairman of the Government’s Social Security Advisory Committee. We could send him to serve a spell in Oman, Malaya or Borneo and he could write a book called Conventional Deterrence: into the Nineties.
Imagine the expression on the faces of his fellow officers as he walks into the mess on his first day, clad in his brand-new uniform and swagger stick, ready to take command. A military press officer, eager to excuse the patent improbability of this appointment, wrings his hands awkwardly and murmurs to those assembled that although the new chap may not know much about soldiering, “he is committed to acquiring quickly the required expertise”.
Shouldn’t take long, really, easy-peasy, pick it up in next to no time.This, of course, did not happen. If it had, the thin news weekend would have bristled into life as battalions of outraged Blimps proclaimed that this was the end of the great British professional army. Now, throw away his expertise and give him something entirely different. Let’s make him Chief of Staff of the Army of the Rhine, or Deputy Chief of Defence Staff.
Think the unthinkable: let’s take an expert in the maddening intricacies of the social security system, a man who knows how housing benefit tapers for every extra pound earned, a man who can explain the new rules on the child care disregard, a man who understands the labyrinthine workings of entitlement to legal aid. But please spare us the categorisation of this policy as one of “realism”: the words “wicked callousness” would be a far better description.Yours faithfully,Stuart WoodBeckenham,Kent27 August. Without any armed UN presence, the Bosnian Serbs would presumably find the task of “re-allocating” this territory even more straightforward than they did at Srebenica, little more than a month ago.Those who can lose no sleep over such politically expedient decisions as removing armed peacekeepers to allow “re-allocation” of territory (the civilians do not even earn a perfunctory mention) from the Bosnian government to Bosnian Serb control are, of course, entitled to their views In fact, they are welcome to them. For the most “ardent supporters” of the Bosnian government, the UN withdrawal from Gorazde representsfurther damning evidence of Western governments selling out the long- suffering Muslim population of Bosnia,writes Tony Barber.Readers are then informed that the “realist” view supports the withdrawal, as this opens the way to Gorazde’s “re-allocation” to the Bosnian Serbs, which could facilitate a peace.
The opening lines of that essay,
The speed at which news is reported, consumed and then forgotten made it almost inevitable that the horrific story of Srebenica should drop from the headlines barely one day after it dominated our television screens and front pagesnow appear ironically apt.The Independent’s very own European commentary on Saturday (“Restraint is the order of the day”, 26 August) appears oblivious to the lessons of Srebenica. From Mr Stuart Wood
Sir: Your leading article of 14 August exhorted the world to exact “full punishment” for the slaughters of Srebenica, “one of the most hideous atrocities of the Yugoslav conflict”. This, it seems, is where it all went wrong in Sheffield.Yours sincerely,M A S GoodmanDalkeith, Midlothian28 August. It is verging on a state of paranoia to suggest that these people, both young and old, of every class and distinction and every church tradition, are part of an insidious cultic movement. There are those who emphasise baptism in the Spirit and there are those who do not.
Charismatics stress the need for salvation of individuals and society as a whole. As a someone who has been involved in Charismatic matters for years, I am unrepentently Anglican and boringly orthodox.The Church needs to understand the notion and impact of power in all relationships, especially within the Church. They are people who believe in the power of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.They are what you would call quiet Charismatics. It is meaningless to them.Within parishes all over the British Isles there are people who would call themselves Charismatic.

This is gaining ground across Europe, with Scandinavia taking the lead, closely followed by Ireland. This led to the concept of the “driving test” for PCs.The concept was adopted by The Council for European Professional Informatics Societies which developed it into the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL). Some may have taken a course, but there are many Information Technology (IT) qualifications, each covering a different syllabus.
The idea of testing computercompetence the way car driving skills are tested was developed by the Finnish Computer Society in the late 1980s. Some can do no more than switch on and load games, others are highly competent in particular applications, but not those needed by employers.
They are also used at home, to write letters, e-mail family and friends, research and write homework, and order goods and services. Until now there has been no standard of computer literacy. People without basic computer skills will soon be as handicapped as those who can’t read or write. Most people already use computers at work, and the number of applications is growing. Nicholas Lansman, secretary-general of the Internet Service Providers Association, said: “The DTI has had three years to get this right; we’ve got three weeks.”n Daniel Sabbagh is senior reporter for `Computing’.. We’re looking to industry for better solutions,” he said.Mr Wills announced he would set up a joint government-industry taskforce to address the problem but has yet to reveal its composition.Tim Sweeney, director-general of the British Bankers’ Association, said making key escrow a requirement “would have hindered the development of e-commerce in the UK”.But industry is complaining about the short timetable. The solution currently proposed, dubbed key escrow, is to build a back-door weakness into encryption by giving a copy of a person’s private encryption key to a “trusted third party” (such as a bank), which will give it to the police on demand of a warrant.On Friday, DTI minister Michael Wills announced that key escrow, previously a plank of government policy, could be dropped “Key escrow may not be the best option.
Following a meeting at 10 Downing Street with Tony Blair on Thursday, industry leaders welcomed the chance to rewrite crucial sections of the forthcoming Electronic Commerce Bill but worried they would not have enough time.
The opponents of current proposals to give law enforcement authorities access to e-commerce, led by the IT and banking sectors, were thrown into further disarray as differences emerged between themselves over the best solution.The Government confirmed its change of heart on the bill on Friday, after news leaked of the Thursday morning meeting at Downing Street between Mr Blair, Home Secretary Jack Straw, Trade Secretary Stephen Byers, and executives from Microsoft, ICL, Cable & Wireless and the CBI.The conflict centres on the issue of encryption, once a Cold-War secret but now considered necessary to provide security for transactions and scrambling messages on the internet.On one side are the law enforcement agencies, represented most visibly by the National Criminal Intelligence Service, and on the other are high- street banks, the Post Office, internet service providers and big IT companies, including Microsoft.The problem is that powerful encryption is too strong for modern computers to break and denies law enforcement agencies access to electronic information in their fight against serious internet-enabled crime. THE information technology industry was thrown into confusion last week when the Government gave it just three weeks to come up with a compromise for regulating electronic commerce that will maintain customer security but allow cyber-cops to track fraud and other crime. But EMI has denied newspaper reports that it was in talks with the media mogul and Mr Murdoch has said that the price of the company is too high.. The rise has been fuelled by speculation about a takeover.Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp has expressed interest in the company. Sir Colin was voted the most disappointing company chief in a recent poll of Britain’s top 100 fund managers.EMI shares have been climbing steadily over the past few months, closing at pounds 4.48 on Friday from a low of pounds 3.12 in October. The plan is to enable Sir Colin to go non-executive.The City would approve.
But industry sources believe that EMI is more concerned with finding a replacement who has keen financial acumen to complement Berry’s creative talents.The post of chief executive at EMI was left open by Jim Fifield, who quit last April with a controversial payoff of pounds 12.5m. However, sources close to the music group say it is more likely that the job will go to a hard-hitting financial whiz, possibly from outside the industry.
Alain Levy, formerly the head of PolyGram’s music division, who quit after the firm was bought by the Canadian drink distillers Seagram, has also been cited as a frontrunner.Ken Berry, the head of EMI’s recorded music division, who is credited with discovering the Spice Girls, has also been a leading candidate. Michael Fuchs, chairman for 20 years of the US pay television channel HBO, has been cited as the leading candidate. EMI, the record label of Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls, is expected to announce this week the appointment of a new chief executive to run the company after Sir Colin Southgate steps down as chairman this year. “We still need to see a clear [industrial] plan from Telecom Italia.”On Friday night, Telecom Italia’s board of directors – which controls about 7 per cent of the stock – gave Mr Bernabe a mandate to defend the company from Olivetti, whose chief executive said he has no plans to raise the bid.Telecom Italia’s biggest shareholders include the California Public Employment Retirement System, Fidelity Investments, The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, College Retirement Equities, TRowe Price Associates, Merrill Lynch Asset Management and Capital Research Management..
Leon de Jerez, head of continental European equity investments at Standard Life, said many of the investors are considering supporting Telecom Italia’s management in exchange for some promises to “unlock value” by absorbing its mobile phone unit Telecom Italia Mobile.These investors also suggest changing Telecom Italia’s capital structure to eliminate its savings shares, by converting them to stock or buying them back.Standard Life, whose head of corporate governance, Guy Jubb, was in New York meeting investors last week, is hoping to line up investors to sign a letter to be sent to Telecom Italia management outlining their requests in return for supporting chief executive Franco Bernabe in repelling Olivetti’s bid.”We don’t necessarily see blocking Olivetti as a victory,” said Mr de Jerez. Edinburgh-based Standard Life, one of Telecom Italia’s biggest investors, says the buyout will saddle Telecom Italia with debts, hampering growth.
Standard Life, which has about pounds 65bn in investments worldwide, last week started canvassing 28 Telecom Italia investors holding 12 per cent of the company in New York and the UK. STANDARD Life Investments is mounting a campaign of major shareholders in Telecom Italia to block Olivetti’s $58bn (pounds 37bn) bid for the company. “Up here in the north of England there are signs the economy is stalled.”Mr Dyson also worried that Mr Brown’s Budget speech would sidestep the crucial issue of the relationship between the domestic economy and the EU economy as a whole.”We operate as if it’s a one-world market,” he said “We’d support greater harmonisation of taxes.”.

But it wasn’t to be.”Albion struck first in the 18th minute from their only shot of the first half. A hopeful cross from the right by the First Division’s leading scorer, Lee Hughes, found a gap in the centre of Wolves’ defence and Micky Evans controlled the ball before tucking it home from eight yards.Carl Robinson equalised in the 37th minute when he appeared unseen at the far post to score with a left-footed shot from a curling free-kick by Paul Simpson.Wolves missed a chance to move three points clear of seventh-placed Watford, as well as go above Bolton, when their captain, Keith Curle, blazed a 55th-minute penalty over the bar after Kevin Kilbane was adjudged to have held back Kevin Muscat on a run into the area. It was the former England defender’s second miss from the penalty spot this season.Goals: Evans (18) 0-1; Robinson (37) 1-1.Wolverhampton Wanderers: Stowell; Muscat, Gilkes, Sedgley, Richards, Curle, Robinson, Emblen, Flo (Bull, 84), Corica (Keane, 55), Simpson (Osborn, 78).West Bromwich Albion: Whitehead; McDermott, Potter, Van Blerk, Burgess, Carbon, Flynn, Sneekes, Evans (Quinn, 65), Hughes, Kilbane.

HAVING ARRIVED in Suffolk on Saturday lunchtime occupying last place in the Nationwide League First Division, Crewe Alexandra could have been excused if they had adopted negative, spoiling tactics against the favourites to claim the one remaining promotion place
That is not their way, though. Adapting better than their hosts to a pitch partially waterlogged by a ferocious pre-match thunderstorm, Crewe produced an accomplished display of attacking football to rekindle their hopes of survival and inflict what might be terminal damage on Ipswich Town’s quest for automatic advancement to the Premiership.
If Crewe beat Bristol City, who replaced the Railwaymen at the bottom of the table on Saturday evening, at Gresty Road tomorrow, they will climb out of the bottom three.
Indeed, if they can reproduce the form they showed at Portman Road in their remaining three fixtures, this admirable little club’s stay in the First Division will surely be extended for at least another year.What allowed them to play with such verve and adventure on Saturday? The answer may lie in the attitude of their long-serving manager, Dario Gradi, to the threat of the drop. Referring to the financial profligacy which has brought rival clubs like Crystal Palace, Portsmouth and Oxford United to the brink of closure, he said staying up was “not important enough for us to be stupid. We’re not going to fall apart if we go down.”Crewe, therefore, played as if without fear. Gradi had carefully watched Ipswich’s laboured win over Stockport last Tuesday, and he knew that the Suffolk side’s big central defenders, Tony Mowbray and Manuel Thetis, would be vulnerable to his team’s small, speedy forward players.
He used the tireless Rodney Jack as a lone striker, with Mark Rivers and the much- coveted Seth Johnson attacking from the flanks and simultaneously blunting the threat of Town’s wing-backs.Crewe had the better of the first half and it was no surprise when Rivers put them ahead with a fierce left-foot finish that capped a fine run midway through the second period. A dubious penalty award allowed Mark Venus to equalise for Ipswich, but Steve MacAuley met a corner with a decisive near-post shot to score the winner seven minutes from full-time.MacAuley was unmarked when he scored which, since Ipswich had an extra man following the 76th-minute dismissal of Jermaine Wright, was negligent in the extreme. George Burley, Town’s manager, criticised his players for giving Crewe too much space, and he now has to lift his squad for next Sunday’s tricky trip to Birmingham City.If Bradford City, who regained second place from the Suffolk side on Saturday, beat Oxford United at Valley Parade on Saturday and Ipswich lose at St Andrew’s the following day, the Yorkshire team will be promoted behind Sunderland and Burley’s men will have to settle for the play-offs for the third successive season, barring a highly improbable pair of results on the final day of term.Ipswich looked a long way short of Premiership quality on Saturday. Kieron Dyer, who has perhaps returned too quickly from a broken leg, was a peripheral figure in midfield, while his fellow England Under-21 international Jamie Scowcroft did not provide enough movement up front. His more mobile fellow striker, David Johnson, had a day when nothing went right for him. The prevalent post-match mood among the Portman Road faithful was pessimism, and it may not be misplaced.Goals: Rivers (64) 0-1; Venus (pen 70) 1-1; MacAuley (83) 1-2.Ipswich Town (3-5-2): R Wright; Thetis (Wilnis, 67), Mowbray, Venus; Stockwell (Naylor, 84), Dyer, Magilton, Holland, Clapham; D Johnson, Mowbray. Substitute not used: Cundy.Crewe Alexandra (4-5-1): Kearton; D Wright, Walton, MacAuley, Smith; Rivers, J Wright, Murphy, Charnock (Unsworth, 89), S Johnson; Jack (Little, 87) Substitute not used: Street.Referee: C Wilkes (Gloucester) Bookings: Ipswich: Magilton Crewe: Walton, J Wright.

“And also I’ve been unhappy with the media coverage.”Damir Dokic, who moved his family from Yugoslavia to Australia six years ago, has repeatedly made headlines for his unpredictable behavior He was expelled from last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open, and the WTA Tour banned him until March.In the latest outburst, he questioned the computer draw that gave his daughter such a tough opening match.”The draw is fixed just for her,” he told the Sun-Herald of Sydney “If it is not, the country should protect its own player … She feels that no one here likes her.”Geoff Pollard, president of Tennis Australia, dismissed Damir Dokic’s allegation that the draw was rigged.”That’s just the way it came out,” Pollard said “The draw was done publicly in front of players and media He should know that all draws are done the same way. It’s the luck of the draw – you get good draws, you get bad draws. She has had good ones and bad ones before.”Dokic said she plans to move from Sydney to Florida. She received a Yugoslav passport in November after traveling on an Australian passport for four years.In the wake of the latest controversy involving the family, Davenport expressed sympathy for her first-round opponent.”That’s a little bit of a shame,” Davenport said “I don’t think it has a lot to do with her, though.

Rod Laver, the only two-time winner of the Grand Slam of tennis, says the sport is less attractive than in his day. Rod Laver, the only two-time winner of the Grand Slam of tennis, says the sport is less attractive than in his day.
“There was more variety in the strokes and the rallies that we played,” Laver said today after hitting with Lleyton Hewitt to christen the Australian Open’s newest court, the 10,000-seat, retractable-roof Vodafone Arena.The 15,000-seat center court at the Open’s site, Melbourne Park, was named Rod Laver Arena last year in honor of the Australian who won the four major tournaments of tennis in both 1962 and 1969.”Seems like the drop shot became very important because you just couldn’t do so much with the rackets,” which were wood when he started out, the 62-year-old Laver said.For recreational tennis players, he added, “it used to be when you had a tiny wooden racket it would come back and hit you in the eye. You’d say, ‘I don’t like this game.”‘Aside from racket technology, “I get the feeling that the courts are quicker, maybe the ball is quicker,” he said.Laver, who has 11 titles from Grand Slam tournaments, said he did not expect today’s younger players to dominate tennis the way Pete Sampras has, winning a total of 13 titles at Wimbledon and the Australian, French and U.S. Opens.There are “just so many young players out there that can rise up and play their best tennis,” he said.He mentioned U.S. Open champion Marat Safin, a 20-year-old Russian who rose to No. 2 in the rankings, and Hewitt, a 19-year-old Australian who won last week’s ATP tournament in Sydney and is seeded seventh for the Australian Open.Laver, nicknamed the “Rocket,” might have won more Grand Slam tournaments, possibly surpassing Sampras’ total, if they had been opened sooner to professionals.
As a pro, he missed the six years up to 1968.”I don’t dwell on that,” he said.”If you are just trophy-hunting or whatever, then maybe you could start to go back and try to analyze your career, but I was very fortunate to play some of my best tennis at the right time,” he added.”I am very, very happy that Pete is the record holder .. You don’t see him play just average matches. He is always playing at his peak.”Laver suffered a stroke in July 1998, and “I think tennis is certainly one of the things that has brought my recovery back,” he said.. The talent-rich Australian Open field includes defending champion Andre Agassi, US Open champion Marat Safin, Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Gustavo Kuerten, who finished last year No 1. The talent-rich Australian Open field includes defending champion Andre Agassi, US Open champion Marat Safin, Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Gustavo Kuerten, who finished last year No 1.
Yet none is the favorite of Aussie oddsmakers. At the start of his 13th year on the ATP tour, Pete Sampras remains the man to beat.It’s been three years since Sampras won a major title other than Wimbledon, and 16 months since he was ranked No 1.
