Turpin Tennis Center

DALLAS, October 26 – Jim Courier won his sixth career Outback Champions Series event – and his third title in 2008 – with a dramatic 3-6, 6-4, 10-8 (Champions Tie-Breaker) victory over Thomas Enqvist of Sweden Sunday in the final of the $150,000 Stanford Championships at the Turpin Tennis Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University. Courier won the last four points of the decisive Champions tie-breaker, played in lieu of a third set, and won the match when Enqvist missed a sitter overhead on match point. Courier called the missed overhead, “one of the nuttiest match points I’ve ever been a part of.”
With Courier holding match point leading 9-8 in the Champions tie-breaker, the two players engaged in a cross-court backhand exchange from the baseline before Enqvist blasted a deep backhand down-the-line approach shot that Courier was able to retrieve with a desperation lob. Enqvist, standing right on top of the net, elected not to let the ball bounce and shanked the overhead straight down off the frame of his racquet.
“You could never forecast that he was going to miss that shot,” said Courier of the missed overhead. “If he lets it bounce, he could hit it with the butt cap and make it and I wouldn’t be there. That was as improbable as it gets, but that’s why we play sports. The whacky happens. You just have to be paying attention.”
Enqvist did not blame the sun for the missed shot, just being too relaxed and letting his mind wander before finishing the point.
“I think I was just too casual,” he said. “It’s what you tell an amateur when you play the pro-ams with them, that sometimes they do those mistakes. They take their eye off the ball. I think I did that. It was a changeover (on the next point), and I think I was on my way to the other side (of the net) before I finished the shot. It was a bad time, obviously, to make that kind of mistake.”
Courier won a first-prize paycheck of $54,000 for winning the singles final and all three of his round-robin singles matches during the week. Enqvist earned $32,000 for his runner-up showing and for also winning all three of his round-robin singles matches.
Enqvist was the more aggressive player at the start of the match, dictating play from the baseline and working on Courier’s weaker back-hand wing. He broke Courier’s serve in the eighth game of the first set and served out the 6-3 set victory the next game. In the second set, Courier played with more urgency and aggression and registered one service break to take the second set 6-4 and force the decisive Champions tie-breaker, the 10-point tie-breaker played in lieu of a third set. Courier trailed 8-6 in the decisive tie-breaker, but rallied to win the final four points of the match, executing a backhand passing shot at 8-8 and benefitting from Enqvist’s missed overhead at 9-8 to win the match.
“I was hanging on by my fingernails at 8-6 (in the tiebreak),” said Courier. “I was just hoping for a little bit of luck and sometimes that’s what it takes.”
Courier attributed a change of strategy to a more defensive game plan to counter-attack the hard-hitting of Enqvist to getting him into the match after losing the first set.
“I really had to make a pretty major adjustment on my return serve against him, because he was really bringing the heat much bigger than I’d seen this week,” said Courier. “It was quicker today because it was warm, so I really had to revert back to just blocking everything back and just defending, which is not my nature. I like to play offense, but the nature of tennis is that if you’re ‘A-game’ isn’t working, you have to find another way. And that’s what I did today. I hung in there.I was a little tired coming into today. It’s been a busy week. I felt like I needed to try to find some energy for the finish, which I did. I served pretty well in the tiebreak, and just hung in. And that’s the thing about this sport, you just have to be better than the other guy. I was – just by my finger nails like (Olympic swimmer Michael) Phelps winning by a hundredth of a second. That was kind of the difference out there today, like winning by a hundredth of a second.”

Said Enqvist of Courier, “He’s probably one of the toughest competitors we have in the game. It’s not the first time he pulled off this kind of victory. He always, always stays in the game, tries to find a way to win it. That’s one of his biggest strengths.”
The victory also earned Courier 800 ranking points to extend his lead in the Stanford Champions Rankings that determine the year-end champion on the Outback Champions Series circuit, the global tennis circuit for champion tennis players over the age of 30. For the first time in 2008, the year-end No. 1 on the Stanford Champions Rankings earns a $100,000 bonus. Courier now leads in the rankings with 3800 points, followed by John McEnroe and Wayne Ferreira with 1800 points and Aaron Krickstein with 1650 points. Enqvist earned 600 points to move into the No. 6 ranking position.
Enqvist, 34, was competing in his first Outback Champions Series final in only his second career event on the global champions’ tennis circuit. The 1999 Australian Open finalist and former world No. 4 was, coincidentally, the last player Courier played on the ATP circuit, handing the two-time French and Australian Open a second-round defeat at the 2000 Lipton Championships in Key Biscayne, Fla. – Courier’s final ATP singles match. The championship match in Dallas was the first Outback Champions Series meeting between the two players. Courier won six of eight meetings on the ATP tour.
Courier, 38, was appearing in his ninth career Outback Champions Series final and his fourth final for the 2008 season. Courier won events earlier this year in Grand Cayman in April and Charlotte in September while he lost to Pat Cash in the final in Newport in August.
In Sunday’s third place match, Krickstein defeated Ferreira 6-2, 6-4.

DALLAS, October 25 – Jim Courier and Thomas Enqvist both completed perfect 3-0 round-robin records Saturday to advance into the championship match at the $150,000 Stanford Championships at the Turpin Tennis Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University.  In a re-match of the 2007 final of the Stanford Championships, Courier defeated defending champion Wayne Ferreira 6-4, 6-3, while Enqvist edged Todd Martin 4-6, 6-4, 11-9 (Champions Tie-Breaker). The Stanford Championships is the sixth of eight events on the 2008 Outback Champions Series, the global tennis circuit for champion tennis players age 30 and over.
Courier, a two-time French and Australian Open champion, used his trademark inside-out forehand to take early control of points and dictate play in winning his fourth straight match against Ferreira. Nonetheless, Ferreira stayed right with Courier until he served to stay in the opening set at 4-5. That’s when Courier struck for the decisive – and only – break of the first set to finish it off 6-4. The second set wasn’t much different, although it was even more in Courier’s favor. Courier gained an early break in the second set and never looked back. He ran into a bit of trouble while serving for the match at 5-3, but he saved two break points to seal the victory with a 6-3 decision.
“I had that lead in second set, but it never really felt safe,” said Courier. “Even though I’m serving well, I know Wayne is capable of doing just what he did in the second set, which is ripping some big shots and chasing some balls down.”
With a perfect 3-0 record heading into Sunday’s championship match, Courier said he is feeling great about his current form. “I’m playing really well,” he said. “My game is predicated on the forehand and the serve. The serve and the forehand is a one-two setup punch. I return pretty well to get into points, and from there I try to dominate with my forehand. It’s no mystery to any of these guys. We all know each other well at this point. It’s just about executing on the day. Right now, I’m on a good service rhythm, particularly on these courts, with how the ball is really flying here.”
“He served really well,” said Ferreira of Courier. “The ball was so fast today. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s during the day. The balls, they don’t really fluff up, they get really light. When he’s serves well and the ball is getting through like that, it’s tough. And when I got the ball in, it was hard to get rid of him and get the point going. So, a little bit tough. He just served better than me.”
Enqvist advanced into his first career Outback Champions Series final by outlasting Martin. Both men played at an extremely high level throughout the evening, but it was Martin who seized control early. The American moved Enqvist all over the court early on in the match and took the first set 6-4, with one service break. Enqvist, a former world No. 4 and the singles runner-up at the 1999 Australian Open, battled back in the second set, getting more aggressive and breaking early set to force a Champions tiebreaker, played in lieu of the third set. By winning at least a set, Enqvist was assured of reaching the final, but he pushed through none-the-less and won the Champions Tie-breaker 11-9.
“Todd was serving unbelievably well for a set and a half,” said Enqvist. “He forced me to make a lot of mistakes and then I started to get a few second serves to look at, I broke him and after that I played well enough to finish the second set off. But it all came down to the match tie-breaker. After I was down 5-Love, I started to serve really well and I was able to win a few important points. Sometimes luck goes your way and sometimes it doesn’t. It was a tough match, and I think I was a bit lucky tonight to win.”
While Ferreira will not defend his 2007 title in Dallas, he will play in Sunday’s third-place match against Aaron Krickstein, a 6-3, 6-4 winner over Jimmy Arias on Saturday. Against Arias, Krickstein broke serve in the second game of the match to open up a 2-0 lead and used that momentum to build a quick 5-0 advantage. Arias ran off three straight games at that point, but Krickstein served out the set at 5-3. Krickstein and Arias used similar tactics throughout the day, being consistent from the back of the court while waiting for an attackable forehand. Little separated the two players in the second set as the two progressed to 3-3. Krickstein, however, was quicker and had more power, and that primary difference finally started to show. He broke for a 4-3 lead and Arias could not recover, dropping serve again to succumb 6-3 in the second set.
“I played much better today,” said Krickstein. “I served much better. I got off to a good start, as opposed to yesterday. I moved better. But a lot of it is who you play. Thomas (Enqvist, his Friday opponent) hits a big ball. He certainly hits the biggest ball out here than anybody I’ve played. He serves really big. You need to hang in there on the first serve, like I did with Todd (Martin) in the first day, but I didn’t do that yesterday and it snowballed on me.”

DALLAS, October 24 – Defending champion Wayne Ferreira defeated Karel Novacek 7-5, 6-2 in round-robin play Friday at the 2008 Stanford Championships setting up a Saturday clash with top rival Jim Courier for the right to advance to the event’s championship match. Courier defeated Justin Gimelstob 6-2, 4-6, 11-9 (Champions Tie-Breaker) Friday evening to join Ferreira with a perfect 2-0 round-robin record in the tournament’s Group A. The winner of Saturday afternoon’s match-up – a re-match of the 2007 Stanford Championships final – will advance to the Sunday final at the Turpin Tennis Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University. In other matches played Friday, Todd Martin recovered from his Wednesday loss to Aaron Krickstein to defeat Jimmy Arias 6-4, 6-2 to even his round-robin record at 1-1 in Group B. Thomas Enqvist increased his record to 2-0 in Group B with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Aaron Krickstein.
Ferreira and Courier have established one of the best rivalries on the Outback Champions Series since the global tennis circuit for champion tennis players was founded in 2005. Their match on Saturday will be their 12th Outback Champions Series meeting, with Courier leading the series 6-5. After Ferreira won the 2007 Stanford Championships final by a 2-6, 6-3, 11-9 (Champions Tie-Breaker) margin (played indoors at the Dr. Pepper StarCenter in Frisco), Courier won the next three meetings in 2008 in the Cayman Islands, Boston and Newport heading into Saturday’s match-up. During their ATP careers, Courier won nine of 11 career meetings.
“It’s always fun to play against him,” said Ferreira of Courier. “He’s a great competitor. He’s leading the tour, so it’s always nice to try to beat him. It’s a tough one. He’s playing pretty well. Last couple of weeks, in Charlotte, he played very well, but I do well against him. We have tough battles. I’ve won a few of them. It’s always close. I’m excited.”
Said Courier of his rivalry with Ferreira and their pending match, “I beat him in Caymans. I beat him in Boston and I beat him in Newport, so, I’ve got the better of him this year. But it’s not been easy. Our match in Caymans was a war. It was super hot, humid day. Both of us barely survived it. I just won the big points – the old cliché. He’s playing well here. He’s definitely stepped up his game here. I’m sure he’s ready for a little revenge, but I’m ready for a little Dallas revenge on him, too.”
The Courier-Ferreira match will also have reverberations on the Stanford Champions Rankings, used to determine the year-end champion on the Outback Champions Series and the winner of a year-end $100,000 bonus. Courier currently leads the rankings with 3000 points, while Ferreira stands in third place with 1750 points, 100 points behind second-place John McEnroe, who is not playing in Dallas this week. A win for Ferreira would cut into Courier’s lead and put him in contention for winning the year-end cash prize.
Against Gimelstob, Courier had to escape a 5-8 deficit in the Champions Tie-Breaker – the 10-point tie-breaker played in lieu of a third-set – to pull out the victory. Gimelstob, a last-minute replacement in the field when three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker withdrew from the event with a back injury, played spirited tennis, but not enough to overcome the two-time French and Australian Open champion.
“It was a tough start,” said Gimelstob, a former U.S. Davis Cup teammate of Courier. “I haven’t played much competitive tennis. It’s different just practicing and actually playing a match. It took me a little while. I got incrementally better between yesterday and today, but I had some chances there tonight. I fought back. I started serving a little better, but he (Courier) puts a lot of pressure on you. If you play some bad points, there’s not a lot of margin for you in the tiebreaker.”
After struggling to find his form in his loss to Krickstein on Wednesday night, Martin found his rhythm against Arias, especially on his serve that helped him register the straight-set win.
“I felt much better with my serve,” said Martin. “My toss was more consistent and that frees me up quite a bit. And also just getting used to the speed of the court, playing two days out of three is better than two days out of seven over three weeks.”
After his impressive win over Martin on Wednesday night, Krickstein ran into a buzz saw in Enqvist, who did little wrong in registering the 6-1, 6-1 victory.
“I had a bad start and served a bad game to begin with and got behind the eight ball right away,” said Krickstein. “He serves awful well, so he’s not a good player to be playing catch-up with. I got down two breaks. I had a few chances to get back into it, but he was playing awful well. I just never could get ahead to get any momentum. I was always clawing back, fighting back from behind. It was certainly was a struggle for me.”
Enqvist said he felt the match was much closer than the score indicated.
“I think we had a lot of good rallies, especially on the second set where I came out on the top of those and I broke him,” said Enqvist, the 1999 Australian Open runner-up to Yevgeny Kafelnikov. “Then you can relax and you can take a few chances. Aaron is a very dangerous player, very consistent. And if you don’t play well against him, he can easily turn the match around on you and beat you. So, it was big scores, but it was very good tennis, especially in the second set.”
