SPORTS GUARDIAN Wednesday May 21 1980 21 HARRY HEYMER REPORTS TENNIS David Irvine in Rome The Union Jack is hauled down Everything favours Sea Chimes The Union Jack was quietly taken down and folded away even before the sun, back in its full splendour, had reached the top of its climb over Rome vesterday. Hope flowed briefly 'from Britain's sparse contingent before first Andrew Jar-rctt, a survivor from the qualifying round, and then Buster Molt ram, who just missed a seeding, suffered the inevitable consequences of their self-inflicted wounds and went the way of so many not reared on Europe's harsh red clay. Jarrett, who was increasingly cursed by a wayward forehand, squandered a 5-3 lead in the opening set of his first-round match against Jiri Hrebec of Czechoslovakia and lost 7-6, 6-1. Mottram, having recovered from a tense start to sweep aside Eliot Teltscher in the second set, then lost his momentum, gave his opponent the first nine points of the third, and deservedly lost 6-4, 1-6, 6-1. Rarely can Britain have been so thinly represented or have failed so miserably at the Italian championships.

It is tempt- ahead there was no chance for me to get back into the match." Teltscher, seeded tenth, hit some splendid backhand passes and crosses, but the impatient Mottram made it easier for him by his eagerness to get in behind approach shots which barely justified his leaving the baseline. Significantly the first point Mottram won in the deciding set was with a volley on the 44th stroke of a rally. On that occasion he pounced for the right ball. In the next game there was a rally of 71 strokes again Mottram won it with a volley and these suggested that, had he shown greater patience, he might have least half a dozen if showing their best running. The three-year-old Vorvados is not without a chance and we may see Roman Scribe putting in a good performance after three unplaced outings this term.

Ratamataz has already won a fair sprint handicap this season but on last season's form he has no chance with Breathing Exercise (3.0), who after two outings could be ready to win for the eighth time during his career. Last season at Haydock Breathing Exercise gave Ratamataz 61b and a length beating but still receives 21b from Doug Marks's charge here. I think he is worth a speculative nap for he showed last time out in a non-handicap that he was not far from peak condition by running fifth to good class rivals Foveros, Skyliner. Smackover and Lightning Label at Leicester. The Cumcumber Stakes could prove a successful medium for course and distance winner.

Welshwyn (4.0). She showed brilliant speed to score by six lengths from Sparkling Lady first time out should be too good for Bellicosa and Heavenly Valley. At Ripon Michael Stoute looks to have found yet another winning opportunity for Double High (7.20) while other good bets there should be Walter Wharton's Beverley winner Donatella (6.30) and Coffee "ay (6.55) in the seller. He was fourth to Donatella and is well down in class. Hi There, winner of the first race at Wolverhampton yesterday is one for the notebook according to his trainer Nick Gaselee.

She showed a tremendous burst of speed to score easily by six lengths and the trainer thinks that at 14.500 gns she is beginning to look a bargain. She is a half-sister to many winners and cn yesterday's showing, could be one of the best fillies seen out this season. The trainer says that he is keeping his options open but certainly has a race at either Epsom or Royal Ascot in mind for the daughter of High tage of two winning outings and comes from a stable in form. Add to this his ability to find a brilliant turn of speed at the finish and I think we have the ingredients of a win-: ner, despite the class of his rivals. Cracaval has had two outings but has yet to win and Main Reef takes a long time to find his best.

Neither is the distance in his favour. In fact, the one to follow him home could be New Berry. In the Westerton handicap over two miles it may be worth noting that Jeremy Tree has booked Lester Piggott for Marzook (2.30) who requires the strongest of handling and in his two races to date has been ridden by an apprentice. On both occasions he was saddled with 9st 111b and looked well below top fitness. He has had time to get into peak condition and the riding arrangement suggests that, it has been achieved.

The Selhurst Handicap over six furlongs is a tricky looking sprint and one could fancy at There be no lack of excitement at Kempton this afternoon, with its highly competitive card, including the Clive Graham Stakes over ten furlongs and worth over 7,000 to the winner, which, hopefully, will be John Dunlop's Sea Chimes (3.30), winner of his last six races, four last season and two this campaign. He ended last season with a win in the King George Stakes at Royal Ascot and he took up where he left off with excellent victories with top weight in the City and Suburban and the Sporting Chronicle Spring Handicap. Today's race will be his sternest task to date, taking on near top class in Cracaval and Main Reef, who, in the three-year-old official handicap were respectively rated 121b and 141b belter. New Berry was also rated 21b better, so Sea Chimes, if those ratings are correct, has a formidable task. Everything, however, is in his favour this afternoon.

The distance is ideal the going is perfect and he has the advan Robert Armstrong in West Berlin Madruga the threat to Britain extended the American further. Jarrett's hopes of advancement flickered and died in an instant. After seven games of stalemate he broke Hrebec for 5- 3 with a forehand floated so deep that the Czech could only return into the net, but then he lost his own serve to love. pressure in the tiebreak the forehand flaw surfaced alarmingly and, with his confidence gone, he managed to hold his serve only once in the third. On a day of rather unexceptional tennis the nearest thing to a surprise was the 6-4, 6-3 defeat of the 16th seed, the Italian Gianni Ocleppo, by a relatively unknown 19-year-old Romanian named Florin Segar-ceanu.

This is a result worthy of mention in Britain as he is likely to be the Romanian singles colleague of Ilic Nastase in the Davis Cup tie at Bristol next month. Segarccanu has no experience on grass but looks to have the game that can be adapted to a faster surface. He mav well be needed, particularly as Ion Tiriac. for so long one of the mainstays of the Romanian team, yesterday denied suggestions he would make a comeback in Bristol. Segarceanu plays Hank Pfis-ter today while the holder, Vitas Gerulaitis, meets 16-year-old Thiery Tulasne, champion in the Bonfiglio Cup recently and a 6-2, 6-2 winner over the American Sandy Mayer.

It was Mayer's first match after a three-month break from tennis following shoulder and ankle surgery, ard he looked stiff and uncomfortable. Guillermo Vilas, the No. 1 seed, will meet fellow Argentinian Guillermo Aubone, and thereby hangs a tale, for Aubone was beaten 6-4, 6:3 in the qualifying competition by an Italian. Famiano Meneschincheri. only to get into the first round as a lucky loser.

The 17-year-old Miss Austin took 46 minutes to overcome Marzena Sicracka 6-1.

6-1 while Miss Jordan was kept on court for three minutes less in achieving her 60, 6-1 win over Iwona Kuczynska. The fact that Australia's No.2, Wendy Turnbull, dropped seven games in her 6-3, 6-4 victory over Ellen Grindvold of Norway was no doubt more a reflection on a long and tiring flight from Japan with her team-mate Diane Fromholtz than a measure of her opponent's talents. Despite her fatigue, Miss Fromholtz dropped only one game to Astrid Sunde in the second set. Surprisingly, the most competitive tennis of the day was to be found in the tie between the Soviet Union and South Korea which went to the final set of the doubles before the relieved Russians squeezed through. Sadly, the disappearance of one more minnow will probably make little difference to the destination of the Cup as the gap in ability between the fifth seeded Soviet Union and the nations above them is just as great as that that separates the lower echelons.

The biggest threat of an early upset among the top seeds in the Federation Cup occurs today when Britain, the Wo. 3 nation, meets unranked Argentina in the second round. Virginia Wade is still suffering from a strained Achilles tendon, received last week, but the British No. 1 was fit enough to practise at the Rot-Weiss club yesterday and West Berliners should catch their first glimpse of her in match-play on the centre court against the Argentine No. 1 Ivanna Madruga.

The confrontation is heavily spiced by the fact that Miss Wade has lost her previous two matches against Miss Madruga, the most recent defeat coming only last week in the quarter-finals of the Italian Open. The Briton, who is 15 years the elder, was also involved in a doubles defeat in the same tournament by the Argentinian partnership of Madruga and Adriana Villa-gran so clearly the British team cannot look forward to an easy doubles passage if they fail in the singles rubbers. Even if Miss Wade's injury proves persistent enough to keep her out of the team today, Sue Barker will be no letter platted to rlisnose of the 19-year-old Argentinian, who, by her own admission, models her game largely on the style of RICHARD BAERLEIN'S SELECTIONS Nap LE SOLEIL (4.30 Kempton) Next best: SEA CHIMES (3.30 Kempton) 310 (13 033-000 ROMAN SCRIBE (D) (Dr C.

Jarrett justified his trip by his efforts in the qualifying competition but for Mottram, who won at least a round in every competition he played in 1979, defeat was more than usually depressing because it was his second consecutive first-round loss, a record that will affect his world ranking. I thought I had him when I took the second set so well." said Mottram, but he played some great points at the start of the third and got so far her countryman, Guillermo Vilas. The British No. 2 made a surprising first-round exit from Wimbledon last year when Miss Madruga, then comparatively unknown, deservedly beat her in three sets. Nor can Britain derive much comfort from the playing surface because the clay courts of Berlin are more suited to the controlled groundstrokes of the Argentinians than, for example, the serve-and-volley game of Miss Wade.

Much will depend on the performance of Claudia Casabianca in the' nominated second singles which will open the tie. Certainly the prospect of a tight finish will appeal to the patient enthusiasts of the centre court who yesterday watched the United States stroll to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Poland. The marked gap in ability and experience that often characterises the opening rounds of many women's tournaments was similarly evident in Australia's 3-0 defeat of Norway. In the circumstances, the Poles can be pleased that they took a set off the Americans in the dead doubles rubber. The East Europeans ran and rallied with determination in both the singles but neither Tracy Austin nor Kathy Jordan, who is currently He'll talk to anyone.

His physical and mental disciplines are treated with equal importance. He confesses, however, that his behavious was. not always exemplary as a boy he was known to hurl rackets with the best but, having achieved manhood, he recognised that it was time to set aside childish behaviour.

For all his enormous wealth Borg is still something of an innocent, a jet-setter but not a member of the jet set. When in Las Vegas for the Alan King Classic last month he is the touring professional for Caesar's Palace Arthur Ashe asked him if he had had any luck with the tables. Borg's reaction was typically polite but, as Ashe said, "he did seem a little surprised that I wanted to discuss That sort of reaction suggests that Borg is slow on the uptake. To make such an assumption when he is on a tennis court is to invite disaster, although disaster will probably strike most opponents anyway. With a racket in his hand Borg's genius surfaces and, in a way, the hallmark of that genius is much the same as that which Barry John brought to Rugby, Viv Richards to cricket and Kevin Keegar to soccer an ability to create, and sometimes even suspend, time.

Borg never appears to be hurried. His movements are deliberate, almost leisurely. His ability to focus on the ball so early means that he has time to decide his stroke and time to execute it. And it is this vital fraction of a second's advantage that enables him to look for winners where others would be looking for trouble. Watching Borg one is constantly struck by his.

It is a strength which applies scientifically and with a studied economy of 'effort. His style demands absolute fitness.

Picture by Kenneth Saunders ANY ATTEMPT to assess Bjorn Borg's place among the ranks of the great is an exercise in futility. Comparisons with say a Laver, Kramer, Budge, or Tilden will inevitably be made and may be persuasively argued but, because ot such different styles, conditions and requirements that have occurred down the years, such debates must be unprofi-tab' Suffice it to say that he is the best tennis rlayer at the moment.

Borg himself willingly accepts that he can never expect to be universally accepted as the greatest tennis player who ever lived. But he would like to win more major singles championships than any of his many distinguished predecessors. At 23 it is not an unreasonable ambition. At present with eight major titles four won in Paris and four, consecutively, at Wimbledon he is level with Perry and Rosewall but still some way behind Emerson (12), Laver, Tilden, and Cochct. The next eight Ceeks will decide whether he joins Big Bill Tilden in third place for this is the period when the young Swede prepares the defence of his French and All England championships.

Borg's defeat by Guillermo Vilas in the Nations Cup at last week, his first in 50 matches (and. perhaps more strikingly, his first on a c'stv court since the final of th- US Open in 1976), could well give some '-icoureiement to his rivals, for until that surprising defeat his game had taken on look of invincibility. Equallv it "ould well strengthen Borg's hand, for it remtred one of the mental pressures on him and was a warning against complacency. For such a remarkable tennis player, Borg is singularly unremarkable as a man in all other respects Ho has none of Connors's boastfulness, McEnroe's aggression or Geru-laitis's flamboyance. He is polite, thoughtful, quiet (some would say dull) and private.

He is also the nost impertu-able player in the modern men's game. Whatever emotions are burled beneath those marble features surprise, plp-isurc, anger, disagreement, relic. none is betraved. His calmness alone hrs riestroved nnponents, many of whom find hi 4. unalterable attitude exas-ppvatine.

It is only when his length begins to waver, and he starts hitting his returns no further than the service line, that he looks vulnerable, because he can then be brought in to the net. In that position he may have to use his double-handed backhand volley his least effective stroke because of the limitations on his reach. To the shot-making repertoire Borg has succeeded in adding one which is all his own; not a particularly attractive stroke perhaps, but one that is impossible to imitate by anyone with wrists of less than iron. Borg's variation of the two-handed backhand is unique. Most devotees take the racket Lack parallel to the ground with the wrists locked; Borg allows the racket head lo dip to knee level, with the wrists slack, and then on the forward swing snaps his wrist into the locked position to impart vicious top-spin with his lavish follow-through.

Technically he should be at a disadvantage on a fast surface like grass but he works hard on his serve for Wimbledon and further adjusts his game by flattening out his ground strokes to reduce the reliance on spin. Leading players devote a considerable amount of time working out how best to play Borg the drop shot usually plays a part but few of the theories work out under match conditions because, among other attributes, he is so quick about the court. Roscoc Tanner, who lost to the Swede over five sets in last year's Wimbledon final and then beat him under lights in the US Open, believes attack is the only approach to adopt to have a chance. You can't play percentage tennis against him If you do, you are It won't work. You have to cut loose on everything and not let him get comfortable.

Any time he gets settled into a I match and everything is going smoothly then he's going to beat you. You must keep ock-ing him, keep going after him, keep making him jump, and, if he hits winnners, fine, but don't get yourself into a situ ation where you are just raiiy ins with him." Borg loves rhythm just as Connors loves pace because it allows him to dictate tne tactics. But even more ne loves nlaying right-handers because they seem more easily drawn into the type of game he prefers. Since 1977 Borg has lost to only three right-handers John Alexander was the last 14 months ago and he has never been beaten by Geru laitis, Solomon, Dibbs, Pecci, or Higueras. In the same period, however.

he has lost to all the leading left-handers (Connors, JMCisn-roe. Tanner, and Vilas) as well as lesser mortals like Bruce Manson and Tom Gullikson. And over the next eight weeks it is the leu trom wnom he has most to fear. Sunday's victory at Dusseldorf will have given Vilas fresh heart, and added piquancy to the French championships while the three-pronged American challenge at Wimbledon guarantees that, if Borg aims to claim the title for a fifth successive year, he will have to be at his best.
