Inglês Texto I
Inglês Texto I Watch out for Gustavo Kuerten. He is the most gentle soul on the tennis tour – a trace of the samba in his walk, a hint of a Brazilian beach in his smile – but watch out for him, all the same. Just by being on the same court with them, he has dispatched two players from the United States Open, with sudden pain in their lower backs. 05 First, he sent Pete Sampras home from a practice session before the tournament ever began. Then he disrupted Magnus Norman’s alignment in one set Tuesday in the Round of 16, without setting a pick or tackling anybody. Kuerten is the human version of the killer artificial turf at Giants Stadium, which disabled a Jets football receiver and a MetroStars soccer midfielder in the past week without their being touched by friend or 10 foe. In all, seven players have retired from Open matches with injuries and three others withdrew before- hand, but Kuerten is leading the league with two notches on his racquet. He doesn’t look like the poltergeist type. Known as Guga in the one-name Brazilian fashion, Kuerten doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in his body. Or any bones at all. Willowy at 6 feet 3 inches and allegedly 167 pounds, he seems a throwback to an age when most tennis players could not be imagined committing any other 15 form of sport. “How come you never became a soccer player?” somebody asked Kuerten yesterday, a reasonable ques- tion of a man from the spiritual home of the world’s most popular sport. -
