PARIS
-- Pete Sampras saved three match points in an uneasy comeback
victory over Spain's Francisco
Clavet in
the Paris Open on Tuesday, only to be felled by a new malady.
"Pete
can barely walk," ATP spokesman Nicola Arzani said after
Sampras' 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) victory
over Clavet.
"His back is very stiff because of muscle spasms. The doctor
thinks it is not related to the
injury problems
Pete had in the summer." Arzani
said that the tournament doctor, Bernard Montalvan,
would make a
statement on Sampras' injury on Wednesday, adding that the player
was in too much pain
to speak
with reporters. Sampras, who hadn't played since injuring
his right hip flexor in a match in
Indianapolis
on Aug. 20, needed 2 hours, 2 minutes to close out Clavet.
The former world No. 1 failed
to take
advantage of three break points at 3-3 in the final set, and
appeared to be an early casualty when,
with
Sampras serving at 5-6, Clavet had three match points. But
twice the Spaniard hit weakly into the
net, and
Sampras erased the third match point with a powerful backhand
volley. Unless this
latest injury
interferes,
Sampras will face either No. 13 seed Tommy Haas or Stefan Koubek,
before a likely quarterfinal
showdown
against defending champion Greg Rusedski.
