Glickstein was disappointed with
his U.S. Open results. “I thought I
could do better in singles,” he told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
He indicated frustration with his
singles play in general. His ranking
has slipped from the 50s to 322,
and he said he needs to “play much
tougher mentally.” He said he’s
lacking confidence. “(The top play
ers) win a lot, so they have much
more confidence,” he said.
His immediate goal is to join
their company. “I’m trying to get
my ranking back,” he said. He
thinks that’s possible by “just the
way I’m playing.” He has managed
to consistently qualify for tourna
ments, but hasn’t passed the first
round.
Perkiss is in a similar position,
having fallen in the rankings to as
low as 190, but now is 129. “In one
stage I was 50th in the world,” he
said. “I think 1 can repeat that. It’s

Peabody Prize, which is television’s

During the match, Perkiss occa
sionally muttered to himself.
Long-legged, skinny and quiet at
age 24, he resembles a giraffe. Con

barrel-chested, has the thighs of a
linebacker and growls like a bear at
his most blatantly errant shots.
Glickstein relies on shot place
ment and anticipation, which makes
him a strong doubles player. In
singles, he is vulnerable to quick
ness or a big serve. He lost in the
first round to the unheralded

He lost his third and final quali
fying match for the U.S. Open, but
in his two-and-a-half years on the
tour he has beaten top players
Aaron Krickstein of the U.S.,
Thierry Tulasne of France and
Boris Becker of West Germany,
the latter several months before he
won the first of his two Wimbledon
titles.
“Since I beat Becker in the be
ginning of ’85, 1 didn’t beat any
body,” he said.
That’s not entirely true. He has
joined Glickstein in the last two
Davis Cup European Zone finals,
losing to Great Britain in 1984 and
the Soviet Union in 1985. They and
Mansdorf travel to Switzerland
the first weeks of October for their
third straight zone final. “1 think
it’s going to be very close,” said
Glickstein.
They plan to return to the U.S.
in winter for indoor tournaments
and the usual accolades from U.S.
Jewish fans. Some of the fans even
host the Israeli players. “We play a
few years, so we get to know some
people,” Perkiss explained.
Glickstein said he was grateful
that the U.S. Jewish community
“follows us, always helps us. It
happens all over the world, but it
happens most in the U.S. The big
gest Jewish community is here.”
U.S. Jews founded and finance
the network of Israel Tennis Cen
ters at which thousands of Israeli,
including Perkiss, Mansdorf and
Israel’s other touring pros, young
sters Amit Noar and Gilad Bloom,
learned the game.
