1996 IN REVIEW
Finished inside the Top 100 for the 11th consecutive season, tying him with Agassi for the fourth-longest active streak on Tour (Becker, Hlasek, 13; Muster, 12)...Best Tour result came in Casablanca where he reached the SF before losing to eventual champion Carbonell...Had excellent results in Challenger play, winning Prostejov (d. Clavet) and reaching the final in Furth (l. to Arazi) and the SF in Hamburg (l. to Fetterlein), Dresden (l. to Blanco) and Brest (l. to Raoux)...Failed to advance past the 1st RD of at least one Grand Slam for the first time in his career...Surpassed the $3 million mark in career earnings.
